Wayne Cubed Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Here is the summary of the 1st article:. • Cut down on turnovers and penalties The Bills had 34 turnovers a year ago, including 17 interceptions, and their inability to take care of the football and to protect their defense are big reasons Ryan Fitzpatrick is no longer the QB. A total of 104 penalties in 2012 is far too sloppy, and the team also must improve in that area. • Improve run defense There is a lot of talent on this defense, especially along the defensive line, yet the Bills were almost at the bottom of the NFL in this category. This new coaching staff will work hard to fix it. • Play better defense on third down and in the red zone Buffalo was 31st in the NFL on third down last season, which allowed opposing offenses to keep the ball and control time of possession. In the red zone, the Bills were especially poor, allowing 38 TDs in 55 trips (also 31st in the league). 2nd article is a bit long, don't want to copy the whole thing.

Nothing like being Capt obvious and putting it all down on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 To the articles' point about turnovers, it's a major ingredient for a turnaround of fortunes. Yes, it's subjective, but if we had just half the TO's last season we may have made the playoffs. Seriously. It's the one aspect of the game that CAN be fixed in a season and significantly alter the record- especially for a perennial loser. As Levy once said, it's simple, but it ain't easy..

DanInUticaTampa Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 The second article is basically making an argument that EJ might be able to take the bills offense into the top ten, if he starts. Reasons given: -There is lots of talent in the offense with an under rated oline and Spiller, with one of the better rushing attacks - Stevie averaged 22.2 yards per reception on throws 11 or more yards downfield, and he was the 16th best reciever at this stat - Offense Plays to EJ's strengths. If there is nothing open for him to throw the ball, he can just run with it or check it down - last year's offense averaged 5.58 yards per a play, and was 13th in the league, and that was with poor QB play. And Fitz's play was so poor, the bar isn't high for EJ to at least match it. - Woods and Goodwin are good additions for talent And last part was that if EJ was able to get the vertical passing up from poor to mediocre from what Fitz did, that would be a huge step and could make this a top ten offense. Nothing really all that interesting. same stuff that has been passed around the boards here. Though the first article was nice because it was basically a more organized description of the schemes we will run. But nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised there was a team worse than the Bills in the Red Zone, third down, and run defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
