Bills Switch to 4-3

Makes sense ... I bet we still use a variation of the 3-4 in some situations. But I like the move back to the 4-3. Williams and Dareus in the middle looks very nice!

Kelsay always did better in 4-3
cut Merriman, Dwan Edwards, Spencer Johnson cuz they were all 3-4 guys
spend money on Mario Williams and you are set

M Williams, K Williams, Dareus, Kelsay
Barnett WLB, Sheppard ILB, ? SLB

Alex Carrington and Troup backups at DT/DE

Either they really are going back to the 4-3 or they are blowing smoke. I think they are dumb for being to open about stuff. Keep other teams guessing when it comes to FA and Draft. As for Kuelchy no thank you. That would be a huge reach at #10. Upshaw would still be a beast at Strong side LB. I think if coples is available at 10 you have to take him. I also think its a joke to still mess with this defensive scheme your just slowing the growing process of a team.

I would have assumed Barnett would have been MLB and Sheppard would have been the OLB. What is the deciding factor here? Speed, size/weight poportions, combination of both? I felt like Sheppard offered a bit more as a blitzer. Although Sheppard does have a little more girth which Poz had so that makes sense to put him there, a little more durable, run stuffer.

if we land Mario (long shot but...) i would not mind drafting Kuechly. it would be no more of a reach than drafting Upshaw IMO. even if we don't get Mario i think Kueckly would still be a good option at 10. then we could take Curry in the second.

even if we dont land Mario i like idea of a 4-3
Dareus and K Williams are really our only 2 "studs" in the front 7
and i see them paired much better as 2 4-3 DTs then 1 at DE and other at NT in a 3-4

If the bills go 4-3 and stick with it why not go after Mathias and williams draft some other position and be set with the front 4 for another 4-5 years. Cut the guys I was talking about and throw that money and any other extra money we have the defense should have no problem getting to the qb if you throw those guys in there

Sorry about rehashing, but I've been away for a while. I've been dreaming this, and now fruition, but Dareus/Williams in a 4/3 is boss. Both will command double teams and will be nightmares to match up against.

Now excuse the Homer in me, but am I the only one salivating at a pipe dream of us signing Mario Williams.?? We have the cap space, so PLEASE, PLEASE pay Mario, because there is not a DLine that trumps Mario/Dareus/Williams/Kelsay with Carrington/Troup rotating.

Mario/Dareus/Kyle all command double teams IMO
