It's their style. They're not physical on offense or defense. It's all about speed and finesse

 

I have to agree.  I know McD has been barking about being physical on the lines, and Frazier said something about having big DLinemen sounds good to him.  Yet, we're not physical or aggressive on either line.   McD seems to have a steep learning curve, but I think he will get there after a few more disappointing losses.  McD is not a micromanager, but I think he needs to lay down the law regarding being more aggressive on the lines, and less finesse.

Its hard to be aggressive when you don't have the players to pull it off IMO. Speed and finesse is what we have to work with IMO.

True, but I think a shift in philosophy would be good regarding the DLine.  Rather than rolling with the same vanilla DLine plan that Dick Jauron used, implement stunts and overloads.  Keep a LB near the DLine to defend a potential run and cover a lane left open by a DLine stunt.  I don't think our DLine is that bad and can do more than what is being currently schemed.  It seems that what we see with the front 6 or 7 is the result of philosophy.

 

The OLine needs help, for sure, and I'm confident changes will happen in the offseason.  Like you said, what we have is what we have for the time being.

The Jets suck.  Badly.  They're putting on a clinic of how not to tackle.

At least something good came out of the early games.

Austin Ekeler is really good...fast and shifty, makes guys miss.  He's comparable in stature to Moss and Singletary, only way better of a player.

I'm so depressed about the Bills that even Chris Collinsworthless isn't making me feel any worse.

Collinsworthless makes me go looney if I listen to him for too long.  I have to watch with the volume way down.

I have mixed feelings on Collinsworth.  99% of the time, dude is annoying

 

But those first few minutes of the season kickoff game, Al Michael and Chris Collinsworth voices are music to my ears

 

I have a similar opinion of Beth Mowens calling College games

 

 

[Foxx]

This is bad.
