The defense comes down to the LINE IMO.  They need to dominate.  Gilmore is a definite upgrade, I am not sold on the other secondary additions yet.  I am still concerned with us getting beat over the top and in the alleys in a predominant C3 scheme.

 

We will definitely be more fun to watch though.  Should be some hard, aggressive hitting.  We have to limit the big running plays with our safeties in the 1 gapping.  The DLINE is the key with all the investment.  IF they don't improve in the pass rushing significantly, it's going to be pretty rough.  

 

Looking forward to the season. 

The safeties were horrible last year, in terms of on the field play that you would expect to see from the names on paper.  Cross is an upgrade immediately even though he will make rookie mistakes.  And Blackmon makes the tandem better no matter where he plays.  

 

The Corners look good on paper and neither Gilmore, Rogers, or Facyson are rookies.  We had two young players in Rock and Rogers last year.

 

Dayo will matter, and Paye will do his near-sack Sheard impressions.  Shedding AQM and replacing with Ngouke along the line will help.

 

I don't know about the defensive coaching, but the defense is much better on paper than last year, IMO.

Yeah I have no clue what they see in Murray. There is much better out there


6’9”, 325 and you don’t know what we see in Murray?  
 

It doesn’t matter what he is today.   He’ll be better tomorrow.    And he’ll still be 6’9” 325.    He’s on the PS, not the 53.    We hope to develop him……

I get that and I’m happy to eat crow if he even becomes a serviceable backup. Just with our OL depth right now, I would have preferred someone even slightly more seasoned.

Slightly more seasoned will likely get that player on the 53.   Murray is just a practice squad.    Honestly, while I hope he turns into something someday, I’m not expecting it.   I suspect his ceiling might be as a decent backup.   But he’s got physical tools that you can’t teach or improve upon so I hope it leads to something.

Looked up some of the writers’ final roster predictions for the Bills to see if I could get a bead on this Tunuta guy.  Those that mentioned him said that he really struggled in camp and in PS games.  One cryptic comment said that the team “really wanted Tunuta to work out, so they gave him extensive looks in the PS.”  Another noted that it’s rare for drafted Bills to be cut.  Everyone seemed to think he’d end up on the PS…

Blackmon graded out low v. the deep balls, so him being out of the line up probably didn't hurt us there.  In a C3 scheme he is going to be responsible for a lot more area out there, so whether we are better there is a question mark in my mind.  He is definitely better coming down in support and breaking on balls in front than we had last year. 

 

Gilmore is a stud. 

 

No doubt Facyson is not a rookie, but he has been playing at a replaceable level, so I am not sure we have gotten better there from what we had last year either.  Probably more of a push for him if anything. 

 

I hope Ngaukoue helps overall.  We should get more rush on occasion out of him, but his run play is as bad as it gets, and we are going to be playing a riskier type of line scheme, so we will see how she works out.

 

I have a lot more faith in a year older Paye and a year older Dayo making the line better overall than Yannick.  We needed Yannick, but man he's small.

That sucketh

 

My gut...... (Which chooses Pizza and Whiskey a bit too much) Thinks that in 2 years Sterling is a starter at LB

 

I hoped it was for us

I agree as well. One of my personal favorites this preseason. Thought he showed great range.

Who played that spot last year?  Cross will cover more meaningful ground by week 5 than any of those guys.  JMO.

 

Edit: Or even Blackmon if he switches to full time centerfielder.

      Next Defensive Coordinator

      By chad72 · Posted

      Packers fans can tell me about Joe Barry that was their DC from 2021-23. They were always in the Top 12-15 range in terms of points per game as opposed to the Colts.   But the year 2021, the Colts were on par because we ran the ball well and possessed it well. Not so much in 2022, and 2023 was a bit of defensive regression for decent possession of the ball from Bradley’s unit.   Brandon Staley is another name but I’d prefer Jon Barry for his units to generate pressure. Otherwise we’d have to look at college like Packers getting the Boston College HC.   I’m a fan of Jim Leonhard that was a heck of a defensive coach / DC at Wisconsin, and is now a DB coach with Broncos. Dave Merritt, the Chiefs DB coach has done an outstanding job there and was interviewed for DC by 49ers.   My pick would be Jim Leonhard or Dave Merritt.

      You can’t keep winning only scoring one TD A game. I think they have gotten some what lucky with who they have played. Colds dline beat up so we will see.

      What I meant is they are not going to come out and just throw 50 times. They are going to try and break your will and run out the clock. It’s  probably going to be a low scoring game. They have only scored 3 offensive TD. I am shocked they str 3-0. They don’t have many offensive weapons. Harris is not really a pass catching back who will break a long run. Now could that change. Off course. But their Oline id beat up. I was reading an article how they tried to open things up and Fields immediately got sacked. He they try to open things up till he revert back to Bears fields.

      I don’t know enough of the position coaches on other teams to say who is worthy of promotion. Best to keep an eye out on head coaches on the hot seat and their staffs.
