All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Leslie Frasier steps away from coaching for a year
This is still McDermott's defense. I don't see wholesale changes coming. Not the same at all as when Daboll left.
It might change a bit when we lose Edmunds and Poyer to free agency.
Can White return to form and how about Hyde.
This defense will have a major overhaul JMO.
Not even sure about Oliver yet either.

Until my Buffalo Bills get over the hump and finally win a Super Bowl I'll never forgive Sean McDermott and Leslie Frazier for this God awful play calling. I'll never understand why with 13 seconds the defense wasn't being aggressive #BillsMafiapic.twitter.com/l7WX18WPof
Re: Leslie Frasier steps away from coaching for a year
McDermott was never a Tampa 2 dc. He was a Jim Johnson disciple. Johnson used a cover 2 shell.
Johnson's philosophy was to limit long gains and make them grind it out. Until they got to the 50. Then he'd start blitzing. Get to the 40...and he was confident in his shell....he'd start blitzing furiously from anywhere and everywhere...constant....the 2 lb's threatening both sides of the center at the line every play...even when they intended to drop into coverage. We used to see that in the beginning here.
In his first dc job...McD embraced it. By the end in Carolina...he seldom blitzed...he clenched into his present passive....he had Kuechly to protect him.
Current Bills d is a passive hybrid of tampa 2 and Johnson shell without aggression...carried as far as it gets by personnel.
McD inserted himself into 13 seconds. He lost his nerve....clenches.
Maybe Frazier was too passive and agreeable. Maybe McD engineered it this way. Maybe Holcomb has influence.
I don't think Frazier comes back here. I don't think McD regains his nerve. Was still an inadequate defense to use against big boys.
Maybe it changes. I wish Frazier well. I'm glad he will not be here. Worst thing will happen is that the defense will crumple in the clutch....again.

Re: Leslie Frasier steps away from coaching for a year
How does he know if he will return in 2024 if he doesn't have a contract in 2024? That part doesn't make sense.
I hope he is OK and wish him well. Figured this was coming when his replacement was hired they just have been figuring out how to go about this in the least damaging way to Frazier. Everyone should get that consideration anyway but only few do.

He didn't say he'd return here...insinuates he'll return to the game. He'll get a job somewhere. Schwartz did the same thing in Philly in january and was working for the titans 3 months later. Graceful exit.

This was handled very delicately JMO.

Rush 3. Double cover Kelce and Hill. That still leaves 4 defenders for the rest. Let Mahomes sit back there with no one to throw to.
That woulda worked.
