So Fools Gold doesn't have to put his hand in the dirt. But which of Kyle Williams or Marcel Dareus plays NT? And where does the other guy play? The Bills D was effective when all four guys were there on the line.

Trade Kyle bring in Suh.
In the 4 years Marcell has been here he's played in a 3-4 twice. Him and Kyle have both play NT and DE. As far as which they are better at? Mario, Hughes, Kyle and Marcell combine for 40 sacks last year and 41 under Pettine's defense. The difference was LB play, which was helped with the addition of Spikes. I would have loved to keep Schwartz, but he's gone and I'm looking forward to Rex.
"In general that system gives you a lot more opportunities, a lot more advantages, different matchups, things like that," he said. "I think as far as schematically that hybrid defense, especially when it's coached well, and you got players to implement and plug into the places, I think gives you the best chance."
That's my feeling as well. With the talent we have - read, experienced talent - on D, we are not just to rely on raw one on one talent wins to beat you, we are going to make you think/hesitate for a second as well. Our secondary is not Jets secondary which is getting beat right away.
Didn't Manny Lawson get used a lot more in the Pettine defense than the Schwartz defense?

It's just talk. Take it at face value as a player that's excited with the arrival of Rex.
The Bills will be showing lots of hybrid 4-3, 3-4 looks and have enough depth at outside LB to rotate deep. (Kiko,Lawson,Rivers). They'll be moving guys all over to confuse QB's.
Lawson will line up at OLB, just like he did with Pettine. If he makes the team.
**** that. Why change if we need to spend expensive resources (draft pick) to just fit players to a scheme that when tried 2 seasons ago wasn't as good as what we had last year?
Our offense is putrid and needs help. Breaking the D and building it up again is pure stupid.
Why move Mario to OLB when we have seen a DL of Mario-Dareus-Williams be successful under Pettine? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Also one of the reasons he left Houston was because he didn't want to play in a 3-4.
COMING SOON...

I'd love to see Dareus, NT, Kyle with LBs rushing from who knows where. Whether its FA or the draft, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they bring a guy in here.
