Sharky7337 Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) It was one game. But I think we are seeing the void left by the departures of Kyle and Lorenzo. Edmunds does not seem to be a leader of men type and is young. Milano has fire but im not sure he fits the bill either. I'm not saying there is no leadership at all - just maybe less of it. We are missing some playmakers up front and we don't seem to have that veteran guy pumping them up. They may turn out to be awesome and that opponent has a great offense. But I think next year the defense will be re-upped to a certain degree. Really I think we need to address our lines here or there and a linebacker/ tight end. Seeing KC who got better on defense and has a dynamic offense makes this a tough sledding this year. Not to mention New England Edited September 29, 2020 by Sharky7337 3 1
Rigotz Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 I love how now that we’ve won some games everyone is shocked that we don’t have all-pro’s at every position and aren’t the greatest team in the NFL. Trust. The. Process. This is not a one season team. We don’t need to sign a bunch of expensive vets who don’t want to be in Buffalo. Draft and re-sign our guys. 3 1

What I'm saying is i do not think we will see the same defensive strength we saw last year out of this team. Edited September 29, 2020 by Sharky7337

You may be right about a lack of leadership. But we can only speculate. 1
ILBillsfan Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 first half they did a good job on gap responsibility thought they started playing a bit too aggressive in the third and stopped play 1/11th at some key spots. Gap integrity got the best of them and it was shocking to see so many plays with players out of position It's still early in the season plenty of time for the Defense to amend itself.
Thurman#1 Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Don't think so. Edmunds is the leader. He's not the fire and brimstone leader that fans love, but he's a young and emerging leader, as is Tre. No way to know from the outside but that is what the team is saying, and there's no reason to doubt them. We also don't know how the new guys are fitting in, guys like Addison, Norman and Butler. Milano and Edmunds are the two guys on this defense - outside Tre - who are most needed at 100%, though Oliver is headed in that direction. And they aren't at 100%, nor is Oliver. And as people said above, they were terrific till one of the better offensive schemers in the league got well into the third quarter. Way way too early to worry yet, and no reason to suppose leadership is the problem even if there indeed is a problem. Edited September 29, 2020 by Thurman#1 1

Its not hard to get a feeling for someone's personality from pressers and interviews and seeing them caught out of position in games. You cannot lead unless you also.do so by example. It is an opinion of course. Thats what most forum posts are. Go listen to the post game interview with Edmunds. You're telling me he sounds like a leader? Edited September 29, 2020 by Sharky7337 1 1

LABILLBACKER Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 Yeah Edmunds may pan out as a good LB but there's no way he develops as an emotional / vocal leader. That's not gonna happen. We don't have one now and hopefully that changes down the road.

And I mean I do think they play for each other so there is that and its early and one game that was kinda a tough match. However that is kinda what I think too.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 If y’all don’t think Poyer and Tre are emotional leaders on this defense, I think you need to re-examine your opinion. 5
