lacoy38 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 First obviously we fire Jauron and hire Billick, if Marvin Lewis is let go in Cincy he could be our D Coordinator, if not i'd be inclined to keep Fewell. As far as OCs go i like Mary Morniwheg in Philly or Mariucci if he cares to leave NFL network. Step 2 JP, Royal, Crowell, Greer, etc all are allowed to leave. In addition we should cut Dockery and Chris Kelsay, Dockery for obvious reasons, and Kelsay, who is OK, simply because he is obscenely overpaid for being average. Step 3 With all the money we save throw a little at Peters to shut him up, then sign Terell Suggs from Baltimore, and a vet cast off like Kittna or Griese as backup QB. Also with the addition of Suggs we will go to a 3-4. Step 4 Trade down to mid-late 1st round and draft George Selvie, a hybrid DE/OLB, in the 2nd draft Alex Mack C from Cal, and with the additional pick from the tade draft Chase Coffman TE. After the first 2 rounds i'd like to see us load up on O-linemen, especially at G. 2009 line-up QB Edwards Kittna Hamdan RB Lynch Jackson FB Mcyntire WR Evans Parrish Hardy WR Reed Johnson TE Coffman Fine Shouman LT Peters Chambers LG Preston/Whittle/draft pick (open competition) C Mack Preston RG Butler draft pick RT Walker Chambers DE Schobel Ellis NT Stroud Williams DE Denney/Spencer Johnson OLB Suggs Bowen ILB Poz Digiorgio ILB Mitchell Digiorgio OLB Selvie Bowen CB McGee Youboty CB McKelvin Corner FS Whitner Simpson SS Scott Wendling P Moorman K Lindell May not be realistic, but sort of, i hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickie do-right Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 go to a 3-4 I agree. It's much easier to draft the hybrid DE/LB than it is to draft a pure DE. I've always liked the idea of having quick - blitz type LB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostsOfTheRockpile Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Completely ridiculous and not realistic at all. Not sure how you figure the Bills "save" money to pay Peters and sign Suggs. First, there'd be a significant buy-out of Jauron and his staff. Second, the coaches you mentioned would require larger contracts than Ralph has ever paid for a coach or assistant(s). Third, there would be likely be serious cap implications for merely cutting Dockery and Kelsay. There is NO WAY we move to a 3-4. This obsession with it is ludicrous. We do NOT have a 3-4 NT. We do NOT have 3-4 DE's. And our linebackers are MEDIOCRE on their best days... not to mention NOBODY on the roster fits the 3-4 OLB mold at all. To switch would require a LOT of roster shuffling. 3-4, 4-3, 46, Tampa-Two... it doesn't matter what scheme you run. People need to stop obsessing over the 3-4, because switching with this roster plus a few tweaks would set the team back even further. We simply don't have the personnel for it, and we're not even close. TALENT is the key. Draft well. Make good free agent pick-ups. Coach well. Do that, and you can run any defense you want. Switching to the 3-4 solves ABSOLUTELY NOTHING if you don't fix our huge personnel deficiencies currently in place. And THAT'S going to take some time.

silvermike Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 A 3-4 defense starring Schobel-Stroud-Denney with absolutely no depth behind them would give up 6 yards per carry to backup fullbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
