This stunning public admission came from our Stanford-educated QB:
“The hardest thing that is happening to me — this happened early in the season, and it’s happened the past couple of games — is that I’m preparing for defenses that we’re not really getting on Sundays or Monday night and they didn’t really bring the defense that we thought the Browns played against the Broncos,” Edwards said. “That’s what we’re practicing out here on the practice field all week and then we’re facing an entirely different defense...."
Translation (what opposing defensive coordinators heard): "I have neither the experience nor the preparation from my coaches during the week to overcome unexpected wrinkles thrown at me from opposing defenses. If you play a defense that's against the tendencies you've shown on film, you will likely beat us."
In stating this, Trent has inadvertently handed 31 other teams the key to beating the Bills - all you have to do is self-scout your defense, and gameplan against type. Throw something different at the Bills' offense, and you greatly increase your chances of winning.
Thanks Trent - your honesty (naivete?) will keep getting us beat. And you may have just sabotaged your own career.
