The defense is the problem. What is your solution?

Scheme change? Bah! What the Bills need is more defensive linemen. Too many of the ones they have just don't get enough rest and aren't fresh enough to make those game altering plays.

 

Hear me out.

 

The active game day roster would include:

• 11 absolute baller offensive players
• 2 special team specialists: K and LS. They don't need no stinking punter.
• 5 defensive backs
• 2 LBs
• 26 defensive linemen

What about injuries to the non-defensive linemen, you say? Well, those men must cowboy up and play through it, as well as learn to better hide those concussion symptoms. The Bills must protect the amount of rest that the defensive linemen get on game day, as it is paramount to success. 

 

And:

• The non-active game day roster spots: all defensive linemen (getting extremely good rest days, so they can be fresh enough to rest the following week)
• Practice squad: all defensive linemen (who can be properly taught the way that they should rest on game days)

Grown men, who make their living playing football, should not expected to be well enough conditioned to play more than 10 snaps per game. Any of you who think otherwise are monsters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sounds a lot like current strategy. Just keep drafting/signing DL until anything works

I was optimistic going into the KC playoff game. My optimism about the defense proved misplaced. My optimism about the offense was placed. 
 

You could use the exact horses we have to field a much better defense than the one we saw against Kansas City. You want a defense that uses deception and unpredictability, that allows players to go after the quarterback, that doesn’t meekly surrender 10 - 20 yard chunks, and that takes away the other team’s best offensive threats. Frazier’s scheme is weak in all those areas. So, an upgrade at DC is #1 on my wish list. (Even though I know it’s unlikely to happen.) That said I wouldn’t mind adding a few players as well!

You know, I want Frazier replaced and it isn't just because of the game or the similar happenings this year. It is more because we have had the same scheme. I don't think it has evolved much. If you don't evolve you get predictable.

Can we hire the guy who coached these people to stop shop lifting?  They've gotten better instruction than Olanim on funneling/gap selection.

Talk to me when Best Buy faces a real offense, and not shoplifters or the Texans.
