BigBuff423 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 One poster said that the Patriots defense has not been stellar over the last few years and that it was their defense that has led to their demise. While I don't claim to be an expert I'll try to give my opinion based on what I've read/heard. As I remember the Patriots Defense didn't LOSE the Super Bowl against the Giants, but that the Giants Defense WON the Super Bowl for them and of course a magical catch by Tyree....let's not forget the Pats only gave up 17 points and this last year they were 8th (I think) in the league in fewest points allowed, and that was after Vrabel and Seymour were ousted from New England...as for previous Defenses, he was the D Coordinator beginning in 2006 and the linebackers coach for two years before that, all in all, given his expertise with the 3-4 Defense and being under the guidance and direction of Belllicheck, I believe this would be a solid hire....not the second coming of Dick LeBeau, but I believe would lead to eventually being a great hire and a very good chance of getting Buffalo's Defense into the top 10........so long as Nix and company are committed to drafting smart and spending Free Agency money in the right places....but hey, we'll see...
The Big Cat Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Wow, incredible how quickly we shift to a "players-make the coach" board. (EDIT) While simultaneously ignoring how Pees might have been benefited from the personel on BOTH sides of the ball for NE as opposed to what he'd be handed in Buffalo. Don't take my word for it, talk to any number of Pats fans.
Pygskin36 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 It would definitely help us land guys like Wilfork, Seymour and Banta-Cain in FA... good call
BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Don't take my word for it, talk to any number of Pats fans. I would but most have them have become Saints fans now.
The Big Cat Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I would but most have them have become Saints fans now. Point taken.
