Sherman Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 1) Learn how to beat the 3-4 defense. 6-1 vs a base 4-3 defense and 1-8 vs the 3-4 base defense. Our entire division runs the 3-4 defense. 2) I believe the Bills need a new attitude heading into next year. When Lovie Smith took over the Bears he came right out and said their first priority is beating the Packers. That is the approach we need to take with the Patriots! 3) Upgrade talent at C, DE, DT, OLB, OT - Our center was the weak point of our O Line and it showed against the big NTs. Our D Line puts no pressure on the opposing QBs and gets run over when it counts. When we lose we lose in the trenches. 4) Make some bold moves. Parcells first moves in transforming the Dolphins were to release Zach Thomas and trade Jason Taylor. The two faces of the Dolphins franchise. Jason Peters is a great talent but will be a problem and I question his motivation. Trade him for at least a 1st round draft pick this year. Roscoe Parrish is not a good WR but is an elite Punt Returner. Trade him for something. He has value and the offense can stop trying to get the ball in his hands for a 7 yard gain. Fred Jackson. Tender an offer to the RFA. Listen to offers. If something great comes up take it otherwise keep him next year and longer if possible. Trade/Cut Defense Captain and popular (inside the locker room)DE Chris Kelsey. He may be a workout warrior but it doesn't show on the field. 5) Extend the field. Make defenses guard the entire football field and not just 10 yards from the line of scrimmage. Any other suggestions?
