This means no Garrett. Why do you need him when you have a pash rush specialist coach. He will coach the old boys up.

Came in with Doug Marrone, but stuck around through Rex Ryan's tenure. Local guy, somewhat interesting hire with a myriad of experiences. 

 

In some ways it's good that there is some Rex influence, some Jim Schwartz and some Mike Pettine. 

Does this mean that McDermott hired someone from outside the organization? Baby steps?

The only connection I could find is he would have worked with Joe Danna in Jacksonville under Marrone. 
 

He worked under Todd Wash and Dom Capers was there at the time as well.

I like the hire.

There were several times that I thought our d-line pass rush was unimaginative with the exodus of Eric Washington to the Bears last offseason. Not terrible, but far less stunts, and less creativity with odd fronts, and working to marry those up well with our simulated pressures and blitzes.

 

I do think our defensive staff did a much better job down the stretch defending the run which you still have to do with teams like Baltimore and the Eagles out there that want to establish that kind of game script and are very capable of doing so and making your team look silly. And kudos to them to have the flexibility to incorporate a 3 LB look from time to time - it is a great problem to have if you have 3 capable LBs and you are looking for creative ways to get them all on the field.

 

Always thought I would see more fire zone kind of concepts the way teams were gashing us underneath with screens, slants, and drags  (like blitzing a LB and dropping someone like Epenesa with his hands into those shallow vacated zones - the guy seems to have hands, and seems to be able to climb the ladder (for a DL guy), and has a proven knack for batting balls at the line where I think he has picked a few and come close on others). Not saying go nuts like Seattle did when they did things like dropping Poona Ford into coverage but sprinkling in those things teams don't expect from you.

 

They did manage to generate a boat-load of turnovers. That, coupled with an offense led by Allen that was downright stingy about turnovers was a very good recipe for our Bills this year and they went farther than many thought because of how complimentary they played.

Maybe Mr. West needed a bit more time to bake and acclimate to the DL coach role and having a bit more experience in his ear can do nothing but help, or it could be a succession plan. Regardless, getting a true game wrecker that can play inside or outside and drafting a stout NT for spelling Jones would probably help make many problems magically disappear.
