Jerry Gray

[vegas55]

Certainly the play calling must improve in terms of putting the ball in Willis' hands much more often. Though it seemed Losman was passing on virtually every down yesterday, he officially only had 15 attempts. Reason - this defense could not keep the saints off the field! A real clue as to the horrible defensive calls being made by Jerry Gray is the defenses complete failure to stop teams when they are in a third and long situation. It is supposed to be an ideal situation for a defense, but the Bills are yielding a better than 50% conversion rate on third and long! Unbelievable. Predictably calling blitz after blitz on third and long, watching the other team pick it up and leave wide receivers wide open for easy conversions - or letting mobile qbs like vick and brooks stroll up the field while the "blitzers" go flying past the pocket ends up allowing teams to move the chains and dominate time of possesion. The blitz packages aren't fooling anyone anymore, in part due to the fact that this clown of a defensive coordinator had been blitzing the entire preseason, including the Packers scrimmage! Hey Jerry, these are not the Buffalo Bills offensive line, which rarely picks up a blitz. To top it all off, the one game Gray chose not to blitz much was against Tampa Bay, which had the immobile brian griese and three rookie O lineman. What a genius. He has a ton of talent and experience defensively, especially in the defensive backfield and he is getting the very least out of it.
