I think the only thing that helped this defense with the change to Butler was that it was simplified and the players played faster. Da foot would be a disaster.Well it worked in NY, and it worked in Baltimore. Maybe the Bills players are stupid?
I think his problem was that he can't handle the HC limelight, he gets too caught up in trying to be clever at press conferences. If he concentrates sole on defense, I think he'd be a great coordinator. Look at Wade Phillips.
we need brady to retire
Good enough to get embarrassed in the afc championship. This Scheme has been **** for 10 years. We don't have the talent to make it work.
This was the same scheme employed when Cowher was here....so it goes back beyond 10 years. These Brady asswhippings are from the antiquity
It's 100% the type of defense we run as to why NE eats our lunch nearly everytime we play them... remember the last AFCCG we played in 2004? Tremendous talent on defense.... Polamalu, Farrior, Porter,Chris Hope, Hampton, Aaron Smith,Taylor.... and Brady torched them. The regular season games in the years after that... those guys minus Porter and Hope but their replacements were Ryan Clark and James Harrison.... Woodley too when he was good.... same result more times than not. How many of those years did Pittsburgh have the #1 ranked defense only to see them lit up against the Patriots. The blitzing with zone behind it worked great against most of the league, but it was never worth a **** against them. The only thing I've ever seen work against that offense is a defense that can get up the middle pressure with the front four without having to bring linebackers or DB's ... leaving them in coverage. Not only that, the coverage can't play off.... they must play tight man press coverage.... taking away the quick throws forcing him to hold the ball just a few moments longer and allowing the pressure the front four is creating to have an affect . It's not easy to do and thus the reason they win so many damn games and end up going to 11 conference championships and 7 Super Bowls in 15 years. Knowing the other teams plays don't hurt either.
end thread, correct answer.
We'd never win a Super Bowl win Rex Ryan!
Wait..
Tomlin ain't getting fired and Bell getting hurt had very little to do with this loss. It was 100% about the coaching. Poorly prepared, horrid execution terrible game plan. Bad tackling, guys running around all night wide open. No adjustments made to counter what they were doing. That's coaching.
If you flip flopped just the coaching staffs for these teams, who do you think would win? It would have been a blow out the other way.
We have WAY more talent than they do, but the difference is coaching.
yeah sure this is a guy I want running this D..took a D ranked 4th in the league the year before he took over and improved so much they went to 19th allowing I think 3 200 + rushing games...yeah great idea
