Not at the table Karlos

We ran more 34 than most of you think. Mario and hughes were linebackers more often than not. Our 3 lineman were dareus, branch, and williams in what ever order the play call dictated. Yes mario and Hughes had their hands in the dirt a lot but look at the cowboys and Ware when they had phillips. We ran a 34 over/under/4-3 over/under... the last couple of games we ran a lot of straight up 3-4

Moving back to a 4-3 would make sense for the continuity factor that many people say leads to success. /sarcasm

You posted this before pettine was hired as the browns coach. Im curious as to why spikes would be a fit with the jets and not here when we run/ran the same scheme as them?

his defense was good enough to make the playoffs and prove you wrong that we dont have the players to run his scheme. We also have branch who enjoys taking on double teams who could play a 2 gap NT and dareus who also can do this but is more valuable as a pass rusher. But any way you look at it we are set up to run almost any defense known to man. Our players are all versatile

We already run a 3-4... wade would equal little change. Our roster would work very well with a wade phillips D. Look up any article on phillips D and it is almost tailor fitted for our team.

Position coaches can leave to become a coordinator it is a promotion We run more of a 3-4 than a 4-3 so why would we flip flop for the 4th time in 5 years. We also have been drafting for a 3-4. We have the perfect personell to run a wade phillips defense.http://www.battleredblog.com/2011/1/4/1913068/thats-so-crazy-it-just-might-work-examining-wade-phillips-3-4-scheme

Mario played a ton of olb this past season and wades NT in dallas was jay ratliff who is basically kyle williams.

Chan gailey is the un named coach lol

McDavid!!!

I agreed with every thing u said until todd haley

I There was talk of both spencer and oneil going with pettine...

Of course I don't want to lose this scheme. I just dont like henderson as the dc. I would prefer O'Neil or Spencer both of them also learned from rex.

If pettine leaves who are the candidates to replace him? Please dont say donnie henderson. He has been a dc twice and sucked horribly both times.

They started about week 9 I think, maybe even earlier.

I don't understand all the OLB talk. We run an aggressive 3-4 hybrid with a ton of blitzes from the OLB spot. The OLBs in our D are 4-3 DEs. Kiko would absolutely disappear as an OLB in this scheme, his size would hurt him even more on the outside. Mario is a better fit as an OLB than kiko is.

Actually he was with the packers before. I think he was a QB coach a few years before he became the head coach.

McCarthy was hired from the 49ers(OC) and Tomlin was hired from I want to say the Vikings(DC).

A dolphins fan was talking to me about his at the game. He said that the lg would tap the center to tell him to snap the ball. I have seen a lot of teams do this including the bills(not very much recently) I never understood why they would do this because it allows the d to know when you will snap the ball.

Win. 4-2 in the division and a 7-9 record with a beating on the patriots is a big step in the right direction. Plus the pats always destroy us in the second game. 31-0 would be nice

How long ago did they install the lamps? I don't remember seeing them before today. Our seats were supposed to be under them but we sat somewhere else. We were laughing because everyone was in t shirts. I agree this was probably the best event I have ever been to. It was like a big bills Christmas party. There were a few a holes in the crowd but overall it was one of the best crowds I have seen at a bills game in many years. Small, friendly, smart and loud and the fin fans weren't bad at all. Great day today.

so you would rather take a taller guy that isn't as talented just because he is tall? Russell Wilson says hi.

Lawson is a full time starter and Hughes plays the other OLB position on the opposite side. We don't play a straight up 3-4, 4-3 or any other combination so who starts and where all depends on the personnel group we use. But Lawson has been the starter at one OLB(I want to sayROLB)for a majority of the games.

2.5 seconds is a long time in the pocket. Also is more than enough time for receivers to get open. Only problem is EJ can't find them. I am also on the "we should have kept da'rick" train. I watched him in camp and knew he would get cut. Because of his attitude. However I believe he has talent and we shouldn't just let talent walk for nothing. Da'rick is another TO. Short slants and send him deep. EJ is obsessed with checking down and da'ricks a tackle breaking and run after catch WR. He may not become great but his floor is a solid possession WR. We should have kept him

What ever happened to streeter?

To add to this watch how Goodwin tracks the ball when going up for it. His eyes,hands and whole body adjust to where the ball is going. Graham just jumps and puts his hands out and the ball sails between them and bounce off his chest. I feel that Goodwin is gonna be a great one if we can get a QB to get him the ball
