CBD Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 He was an NFL LB coach for 11 years, defensive coordinator for the Redskins in 2003, and was hired by Florida to be their D coordinator before deciding to take the job with the Bills instead.
The Big Cat Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I'm not always the most observant man after a few beers to clear a Sunday morning hangover, but I don't think I've actually seen Dave W. once since he became a Buffalo Bill. Is he up in a press box or something? I'm beginning to think he's a ghost. Am I just blind? Has anyone else seen him on the sidelines? My own vantage point (and I'm guessing the vantage points for 80% of TSW posters) is limited to what's shown on television. So, considering I trust in the existence of the many things I've never seen on Sunday mid-day network programming, I'm not terribly alarmed.

mattsox Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 So we have to draft personnel to go back to the 4-3...the "rebuilding" never ends at OBD. Agreed. That's what happens when you fail at drafting for 10+ Seasons. This team's depth is as thin as $1 store napkins...
DDD Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 ..if you think that's thin you should try the "tp"
Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) What qualifications does Edwards have to be a defensive coordinator? Nothing he does seems to work. Last year the excuse was lack of personnel. So Darius et al arrive and still little works. In fact, some of his starters are playing worse than they did last year, such as Florence. And losers like McKelvin are still getting minutes when raw rookies with some upside wouldn't hurt you any more than he does and might develop; McKelvin certainly won't. Also, why can't we rush the passer under this guy? Maybin even improved once he escaped from under Edwards' wing. I posted on this last off season. Essentially, in common with the majority of Chan's coaching staff, Edwards has strong connections to Chan from previous jobs. It's not news that most head coaches bring in people they trust, and they trust people with whom they have connections. The problem with Chan is that because of his long stint in college and out of NFL, his connections were "slim pickins". Go to the Bills Team section on the Bills home page and look at the backround of the coaches. Giff Smith as DL coach? Daryl Daye as assistant ILB and ST coach? Bob Sanders, our OLB coach, has a strong NFL pedigree but had his ass fired as Green Bay DC for a product that was too "soft" and "inconsistent". The GB D improved markedly after he left, and we know the story now. It's not that good NFL coaches can't come out of college backgrounds or fail at different positions for other teams, but the product on the field tells the tale. The Party Line 2 years ago was "no talent" or "wrong personnel". Most of the top draft choices the last 2 years have been D, so now what's the story? Edited November 17, 2011 by Hopeful
