apuszczalowski Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Its a good thing the Bills switched to the invinsible 3-4 like everyone wanted and got rid of the horrible "Tampa 2"
akm0404 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Almost 1000 yards rushing allowed 5 games in, (180/game) a distant 32nd run defense, I mean absolutely abysmal and people want to whine about the safeties... Perfect. We were bottom of the barrel last year in rushing yards allowed, and had a dismal pass rush. It was one of the true weaknesses of the team (behind QB play and offensive line play). The defense lacked talent last year too. The personnel is completely the same. The only difference is that Byrd isn't getting as lucky.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 We were bottom of the barrel last year in rushing yards allowed, and had a dismal pass rush. It was one of the true weaknesses of the team (behind QB play and offensive line play). The defense lacked talent last year too. The personnel is completely the same. The only difference is that Byrd isn't getting as lucky. The run defense was 3rd or 4th worst. This D is allowing 30 more YPG than last year and 40 more YPG than the second worst this year. In fact they are almost allowing as many rushing YPG as Passing YPG, which means poeple are not throwing the ball against them as they need not. This seems pretty basic, if you can't stop the run, never lead a game late or establish a sizable lead, don't have a pass rush and can't cover underneath with LB's there is no need for an opponent to throw an intercpetable ball anywhere in the FS neighborhood, none... Again, gripe all you want about Byrd not being legit or Whitner being worthless (actually too busy playing MLB to play SS), let's harp on McKelvin and how he gets beaten sometimes by Probowl WR's... or McGee for I dunno.. If The Bills had Ed Reed, Bob Sanders, Revis and Nnamdi Asomugha back there, the situation you see now would look about the same, good pass D, horrible run D.
