jahbonas Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 I think we all knew we were building talent on the defensive side - but we saw it wasted by Wanny - then we saw it improved but still troublesome under Pettine - now with Schwartz we have the right mix of run & pass defense #1 in sacks #2 in run defense (71 yrds) ..... Pettine has Browns at 29th 152yrds #2 in 3rd down Pct (31%) Last year #2 in sacks #28 in run defense (128 yrds) #13 in 3rd down Pct ( 37%) Coaching means a lot in this league
TheBillsOrDie Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 I was very excited when Buffalo went after Schwartz when Pettine left.
The Wiz Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 If the pass defense can pick up it's play I think we will be very competitive for the rest of the season.

papazoid Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 and Detroit became the #1 defense after schwartz left. having said that, Schwartz is doing a terrific job in buffalo.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Love how we are playing against the run. Having a dominant defense against the run has always been a huge key to a teams overall success. Think San Francisco and Seattle. You have to make the other teams offense one dimensional. Keeps them in 3rd 8. Puts pressure on the QB and mistakes start to happen.
