I never liked it but they were erasers back there. I think McDermotts defense is the only reason we haven’t and can’t win a superbowl. But for a bit, our Safeties were so incredible…that it made it look decent. It’s definitely been exposed and needs to be overhauled Quote

An NFL Veteran for Defensive senior Assistant. Love it Problem ? or continuous improvement mindset. One thing I do appreciate about McD is he is always moving forward with his Coaches. I call this a good thing , and the Dline assistant as well. Thanks Terry P for supporting this You can call it euphemistaclly what you like problem, continuous improvement, pre goal, opportunity to improve et al... defense isn't good enough and bringing a new set of eyes in in my opinion is very positive Quote
Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 7 Posted February 7 McD keeps saying the ball comes out too quick with these elite QBs to get any pass rush. A switch to tighter man coverage may be a way to get them to hold onto the ball longer. 1 Quote

He was defensive line coach with the Saints and they had top units during those years. He was DC for Atlanta for a year and they generated a lot of pressure. Also his man to man usage when he was DC the past two years is one of the higher ones in the league. He is known to play a lot of DB’s and LB’s crowded to the line with lots of disguising. Quote
GolfandBills Posted February 7 Posted February 7 He sounds pretty well regarded around the league. Looks like a good move adding him to our staff Quote
TBBills Fan Posted February 7 Posted February 7 I like it. I do admit, this is similar to what we did on offense. Dorsey finished up year one, we bring in Joe Brady to add to the room. Smart move. More knowledge, a bit of a message to the incumbent and a guy that can step in it it goes to ***** Quote
DJB Posted February 7 Posted February 7 (edited) The NFL is constantly evolving. Our 2 deep safety look while playing zone worked for a while. And teams moved to a more zone look Now offense basically just dump the ball out as fast as possible which severely negates a zone defense. Man coverage is less susceptible to quick throws . Im glad we are moving to a more man coverage it also helps with double coverage looks as well which will help focus our D in on key players on the opposing teams . It also helps stopping so many “why the hell is Kelce so uncovered” moments where we were all pulling our hair out. You know what else a zone defense is susceptible to? Screens. Playing man will help alleviate that as well and I’m glad because I’m really tired of getting killed like that Edited February 7 by DJB Quote
f0neguy Posted February 7 Posted February 7 If the Bills are possibly considering going to more man coverage does that mean Elam sticks around? That’s supposed to be one of his strengths. 1 Quote

So he was brought in as part of Dorsey's inaugural staff, in fact.

Big Turk Posted February 7 Posted February 7 That could be a great hire...and a lot of other teams wanted him and he chose to come here... Quote
MasterStrategist Posted February 7 Posted February 7 He and Babich are close, makes alot of sense and likely why Ryan chose to come here. More experience and ideas, from a trusted colleague, is going to help. But #1, we need more talent up front. And also improve our speed/coverage guys on back end. Bishop better come through, Beane has his work cut out for him this offseason and lots of decisions with Von/AJE/Daquon/etc Quote

All the above? In 2023, he doubled the previous years sack totals for the Falcons to 42. So I’d say scheme is a big part of it. But…need to have the guys you can mold into the new scheme. No doubt we have guys who can do it, just need the “something” to generate the sacks. Lost our assistant dline coach and with this guys resume, assume that will be part of his duties. edit: Hired Jason Rebrovich as a defensive line coach. Edited February 7 by davefan66 1 Quote

McDermott is probably helping him out more than a warning. Looks more like McD was told to stay away from defense and focus on the whole of the team. 1 Quote
