Captain Hindsight Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 I agree and I hate the reactionary position people tend to take sometimes. Unfortunately it's a premium on message boards. Having said that, I'm not liking what Edwards is trying to do on defense, to the point I sometimes don't understand what he's trying to accomplish. I know we don't have the ideal talent to be a shutdown defense, not even close, but this defensive roster is not 30+ ppg bad, even with a new system. Agreed... They held much better offensive teams to less with Perry Fewell and DJ here. Edwards either needs alot of help or he needs to go back to being a LB coach.
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 I say play a 4-3 just with bigger players than we had with Dickwad Jeron.
Fixxxer Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 The best thing for now is to be patient and hope that Edwards feels the normal heat of a guy not doing his job, maybe he reacts and starts pushing his players. Last year the Titans were in a similar position with Chuck Cecil. They lost the opener against the Steelers in a close game and then they dropped 6 games in a row looking down right inept.
Thurman#1 Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Edwards is in way over his head here...this defense doesn't have great players on it, but it certainly has better players than to be worst in the NFL, it is basically the same defense as last year and has gotten much worse both against the pass(it was excellent last year) and the run(worse than last year). How long are they gonna allow this crap DC to cost them games? 5 games allowing 30+ points in a row? That is a joke...no defense in the NFL in this league is that bad, and this one shouldn't be either. If Fewell was here as DC like last year, we would have at least 2 wins right now. Offense is putting up points, but the defense allows every possession to result in a TD or FG by the opposing team and barely even forces them into 3rd down situations, allowing 9-10 yards a run most times or receivers to be wide open all game. Give me break, I can't take having this guy turning our D from a slightly below average one into by far the worst in the NFL. They had a ballhawking secondary last year, now they can't even get in the TV screen when a receiver makes a catch... Dude is just horrible and needs to go ASAP...should leave him in Baltimore and tell him to find his own way home.. "Doesn't have great players"? Next thing you're going to tell me that excrement doesn't taste magnificent, or that "Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami" might possibly not be the best TV program of all time. Our front seven run from mostly awful to a few who reach mediocre but are playing out of position. The bright spots are mostly rookies. They had a balhawking secondary last year when they had Aaron Schobel and a fairly decent pass rush. Last year, 32 sacks. This year, 8 in 6 games, and you're surprised we're not getting INTs? That's the way it works. I'm not thrilled with George Edwards, but our players are awful. Edited October 25, 2010 by Thurman#1
Sisyphean Bills Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Unless something changes in a huge way, Edwards days as DC are numbered.
