TPS Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Good stuff. Was thinking that Shobel reminded me of Paup, but maybe quicker. I think he'd excel in this defense.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Thanks for posting Dave. Good read. I always felt one of Veek's strengths was blitzing. On top of that, I always considered him stronger as a run player than as a coverage player. The author, Jeff Winter, sees this differently than do I. Either way, the article predicts that Mitchell will be the odd man out of the starting lineup.
Magox Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Interesting, I would of thought that Schobel would be playing the pass rushing LB and that Maybin would sub in for him.
Gabe Northern Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Truly amazing to think that Bruce Smith recorded 200 NFL sacks playing as a 2-gap DE in this system. If they adjusted sack statistics for level of difficulty, he'd be thousands ahead of Reggie White.

I know he had some high sack years, but that was when we had a really good D overall.

Actually, the rumblings piece that's linked to at the beginning of the article - on the 3-4 v. 4-3 more generally - is excellent too: http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2010/1/26/...scheme-will-the

If they adjusted sack statistics for level of difficulty, he'd be thousands ahead of Reggie White. This is being consistently overrated by everyone. The Bills rushed 4 guys on EVERY down. There was almost never a three man rush. Sometimes we sent 5 or 6. It wasn't like the current 3-4's.
