Necessity is the mother of invention

[Don]

Any opinions on why the Bills aren't toying with the 3-4 that they are running? After all, the current system hasn't appeared to take off yet, so why not try to create a 'Bills" defense. Perhaps blitz 7 on 1st down to put teams on their heels since everyone is so in love with our secondary...Or put 8 in the box and drop 5-6 into coverage based on reads because we have the speed.

 

Just seems we are running the milk toast version of the 3-4 with the wrong group of guys. Chan has the opportunity Gruden had in Tampa as far as carte blanch to install a unique scheme without fear of getting canned after 1 season. The Bills have shown a propensity of keeping bad coaches 2 or 3 seasons before realizing they don't belong so this is a prime spot to do something truly innovative.

So, you want them to invent some sort of new defense? Or do you want them to just blitz sometimes?

we are barely running a 34 at all. Most downs we have 4 down lineman. When I say most downs ai mean 80+% of the time.
