Coach Tuesday Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 It strikes me that what we're seeing is almost exactly the template that Parcells brought to Miami, with success. Step one, hire smart, experienced, and creative coaches on offense, to mask your deficiencies with scheme. Second, rebuild the o line. This was started last year, and it will continue. In fact Parcells is now rebuilding his line for the second time. The obvious difference here is no Jake Long. It's a big difference, but there must be a plan here. Third, use a dynamic playmaker in the backfield. Spiller can do everything that Ronnie Brown can, and he's more explosive. Fourth, draft and sign big nasties to anchor the 3-4. Done, and it's about time. Fifth, generate pressure packages with athletic linebackers. I expect that this will be a focus of Day 3 and the rest of the offseason. Finally, take a patient approach to the QB issue. Parcells was willing to give the keys to Pennington for a couple of years. Folks, Trent Edwards is nobody'd first choice but he's really not too different from Pennington as a game manager. Personally, I find the new approach refreshing. Looking forward to Day 3 and the rest of the offseason.

They don't care about winning!! [/sarc]

BillsfaninSixburgh Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Count me among the "I like what I see so far crowd" I have a enough hard time p*ssin' in the morning!
KD in CA Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Good post. I'm very happy about adding some size on defense -- something sorely lacking that hasn't gotten near enough attention here. I never thought QB should be a priority in this draft. Let's fix the glaring holes and then see what Edwards can do.
Griswold Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 ..Second, rebuild the o line. This was started last year, and it will continue... Ya, rebuild the O-Line is job key. Probably why they aren't spending a high draft pick on a QB. Why draft a high round $ QB, just to see their career end behind a swiss cheese line we have now? Fix the line one year.. then the next year put a fancy new QB behind it. Besides... maybe Trent will make a come back. That concussion really screwed him up.. like Cougar in Top Gun. Maybe an off season will fix that.
tecmobowlbills Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Top Gun reference...nice Correct me if I am wrong though, Cougar quit so there was no comeback
KD in CA Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Top Gun reference...nice Correct me if I am wrong though, Cougar quit so there was no comeback Correct. He didn't want to orphan his kid.
Griswold Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Top Gun reference...nice Correct me if I am wrong though, Cougar quit so there was no comeback Crud. You're right. I have to re-think this one. Maybe Cougar came back in Top Gun II? Or Days of Thunder?
RealityCheck Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 My upgrade date for my season tickets is 5/11/10. Please, if any of you habitual crybabies has tickets also, please don't renew so I can get a better view. C'mon people, do the right thing for the real fans.

Logical Reasoning Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 A big part of his rebuilding is getting rid of old baggage which hasn't really happened yet, but there is still time.

Looking forward to Day 3 and the rest of the offseason. There is no doubt that a different approach is being taken at OBD. It seems to be taking on a tone of more "old school" football where the basics are focused upon first. You compared the rebuild to Parcells which is fair. I also think it has similiar tones to the Steelers. Thanks for your insights and positive tone. My hope for the season is renewing again.

There is one major difference between Trent and Chad. Chad has balls, apparently Trent has mailed his to Dakota Fanning. Personally, I find the new approach refreshing. Looking forward to Day 3 and the rest of the offseason.
