hootie1 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Since the bye week, the Bills have been sporadically using 4 LB on running downs, with the 4th LB being Ellison. Ellison was inactive in Houston. Did any of you sharp eyed folks see if the Bills ever went to 4 LB in his absence? I am wondering if this could account for the drop off in run "D" this past week- though, of course, they were better in the second half. Did anyone note detectable half-time adjustments (beyond Whitner getting his head in the game)? I'd liek ot think Fewell did something they can build on, with Taylor and Tomlinson on the menu...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I read on another board that they DID use the 4-4 in the 2nd half, with Wire in in place of Ellison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solution is to get LBers who can shed blocks in on running downs and those that are better served in Nickle and Dime defenses staying on the bench in running situations ( can you say Crowell).
