HalftimeAdjustment Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I think the fact that Mario Williams spoke up is really problematic. He doesn't tend to say a lot and really got going on this topic. It's got to be fixed.
White Linen Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) I'm actually glad this team is in London - it's good that they're not here being bombarded by local media. If Rex is anything he's a coach approachable and in touch with his players. I would imagine he'll have a good talk with at least the d line if not the entire front 7 - listen - and they'll work things out as professionals. If he doesn't take the opportunity to do that - and we'll hear - then I'll question him as a coach to another level. Edited October 21, 2015 by Triple Threat
3rdand12 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Amusing enough- the Tampa two is more in line with schwartzs Rush the front 4 with only limited responsibility in the run game. The coverage shells vary but the front 4 are getting up the field to disrupt the qb. You have summarized my intention rather nicely Dear Sir. Of course i was using humor about the tampa two concept as an extreme to make my point. Bend dont break was another i considered. I truly find what Rex and Thurman were were/are trying to do , is not so wrong as its too much too soon. I can only guess its cerebral and asks alot of each player pre snap and then again when the film starts rolling. I hate to say, dumb it down. But maybe that is exactly what i mean. The secondary has shown . at home, a great deal of communication issues on defense. continuous improvement of course but if they are overwhelmed, and they are. slow the roll ?

Not so much for the media snippets as the Team mindset. This is a critical juncture to me in his ability to Coach the Team. good point man! Edited October 21, 2015 by 3rdand12
BuffaninATL Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 this may have been mentioned elsewhere upthread, and if so, I apologize; but what concerns me other than a blatant misuse of the talent we have is the players' comments that they are "not on the same page" and "having communication problems". This is not TC, it's week 7 in the NFL. Maybe "exotic blitz packages" is a bad euphemism for square peg/round hole that Rex is so adamantly forcing on this team. This, along with the ST/penalties fiascoes, could easily make the Bills the most underachieving team of 2015.
BackInDaDay Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I think the fact that Mario Williams spoke up is really problematic. He doesn't tend to say a lot and really got going on this topic. It's got to be fixed. the frustration is climbing.. beside the instruction to drop into coverage, they're also lining him up inside (as a 3tech DT) on occasion - including the Bengals second TD (16 yard run) where Mario pinched down on OC with Dareus at NT, and Bengals pulled their left side past Mario's left to create an alley through Bradham and Lawson. before this play executed, Dareus and others checked more than once with Brown on their alignment. this D system is nothing like the D they played last season, and patience is thinning.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 @ChrisBrownBills Rex - agrees with Mario & Dareus that defense should've rushed passer more. Said I'm not perfect play caller. #Bills @AdamBenigni #Bills Rex Ryan agrees to a significant extent that his defensive scheme has not been aggressive enough amid comments from own players.@wgrz

Better late than never he listens to his players. We shall around 930 AM Sunday
Coach Tuesday Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I've decided that the best way to characterize this defense is "Chinese Firedrill." At the snap, all of the defenders run to different positions than where they had lined up. Defensive linemen run out to the cornerback spots. Cornerbacks attack the line of scrimmage. The safeties and linebackers switch places. It's a madcap romp!

The only person the team had trained to snap the ball got hurt, and the team ran it anyway.
Best Player Available Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Still think it comes back to the scheme. Our DBs are doing their job, but up front it's a mess. That will all change. Since Rex had the team watch a movie on the Navy Seals. What an inspirational coach! All is well.
Campy Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Haven't read all 11 pages so forgive me if someone's already bought here's the biggest difference between last year and this year IMO: Last year the D ran a 4-3 base, for which the personnel is perfectly suited, and this year they are in a 3-4 base.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Rex on Defensive Production: "We Just Want to Win" (1:02)The Bills head coach talks about getting the defensive production back to what is was last year.
BackInDaDay Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Rex on Defensive Production: "We Just Want to Win" (1:02) sorry Rex.. but there's no need to be deceptive when your front 4 is effective against 5 or 6 men. you're right.. it's not about sacks.. it's about having more capable personnel in coverage while your front 4 keeps at least 5 or 6 in the box. you can really throw a blanket out there with 7 men who can turn and run. get the league's most elite D line upfield!
Formerly Allan in MD Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Ryan has ruined this Defense. He`s turned out to be a big blow hard. I watched 200 million dollars on the left side get B word slapped by a Te and tackle all game. Rex D is horrible. No-Pressure at all. Next year. Oh let the fools blame it on E.J.Here or there. What this translates to is that Rex wants to change what works to his perception of what works. The round peg in the square hole approach. It exemplifies a poor sense of realism, ego mania, and poor coaching. Also, he continues to make light of problems. Rex, they're problems, fix them. Is he capable of doing so? If not, we shouldn't have him as head coach. The jury may not be out much longer if the question lingers. By the way, EJ is bad but the problems are much bigger than him.

John from Riverside Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 All I know....is if im a qb and I see Mario Williams and Marcel dropping into coverage......I breath a sigh of relief and get comfortable really fast That should be one of those waaaaay out of the ordinary plays that you throw out there just to keep it on tape. Our secondary is pretty good sans safety....... DO WHAT WE ARE GOOD AT.....DONT OVERTHINK THINGS
