Nick in RaChaCha Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I hate it when Marv starts talking about going smaller for the DL Does anyone remember Dallas' OL pushing our DL around. Marv get big men who can stay in shape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv get big men who can stay in shape! 611741[/snapback] Do you remember the size of Dallas' DL? It was rather small but the key is they had excellent depth and could rotate guys in and out keeping them fresh etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 The difference also is that the Bills' smaller DL back then was in a 3-4 alignment, which meant 3 DL at the LOS. The cover-2 will be a (I assume) 4-3 alignment with 4 DL at the LOS, making it harder to run against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 What happened to all our high motor white guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 What happened to all our high motor white guys? They're still there. Sounds like Marv wants to get more of them and get rid of the low motor black guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Norton Jr. (LB), who I think won SB rings with both Dallas and SF, was a very underated defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachChuckDickerson Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hey Marv! Smaller Quicker D Linemen, Is why we lost the first and last superb611741[/snapback] ....and Jimbo was hung over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauron and Levy will prune and plant, and hopefully by opening day, have the personnel required to run the TampaBay Cover-2. Another year, another system.
