nuklz2594 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Who put us in our defensive scheme-Dick or Perry? With Dick gone do we begin the switch to a 3-4?
Britbillsfan Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Who put us in our defensive scheme-Dick or Perry? With Dick gone do we begin the switch to a 3-4? It won't be this season. We no longer have enough uninjured LBs to put three on the field, let alone four...
DC Tom Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 It won't be this season. We no longer have enough uninjured LBs to put three on the field, let alone four... Sure we do, with Whitner back soon...
bills_red Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Dick knew Perry from CHI where they ran the Tampa 2 together, they both brought it here. But the D needs the O to do something, the D plays well untill the 4th.
apuszczalowski Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Who put us in our defensive scheme-Dick or Perry? With Dick gone do we begin the switch to a 3-4? Enough with the 3-4, changing now would set this team back about another 2-3 years, and its one of the only units that has been decent the last few years. This defence has almost no players that could work in a 3-4, it would be a complete overhaul at this point
Brandon Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 This defence has almost no players that could work in a 3-4, it would be a complete overhaul at this point I'm not really sure that's a negative. The defensive line is in major need of an overhaul, anyway, with three starters on the wrong side of 30. At linebacker, Mitchell will be 31 and is coming off major injury, Posluszny has never been able to stay healthy and guys like Ellison are a dime a dozen. They have big problems, anyway, so if they think that its in their best long-term interests to switch back to the 3-4, this would seem as good a time as any, IMO.
silvermike Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Yeah, right now we don't have a front 7 that's well adapted to any defensive scheme. The talent worth preserving is Posluzny, Stroud, Williams, and Schobel, with at least an attempt made at playing Maybin. Stroud and Williams could be two ends in a 3-4, if they could add a big NT in the first round, I think that puts us in reasonable shape, with Maybin, Posluzny, Mitchell, and Ellison at LB. Schobel would likely play situationally as a pure pass rusher in this scheme, and we could end up with a 4-2-5 nickel.
