 |
|
|
| Quote: | Pettine talked about his new job with the Bills’ official website, and he was asked whether he’ll be using a 3-4 or a 4-3.
"The answer is really yes to both," Pettine said. "We’ll be a multiple front, multiple coverage defense. The trademark of our defense is we’re going to be smart, tough and relentless". |
3-4 and 4-3 for Bills
I am excited to see what he does with the defense. We really need to add some more pieces to the defense in both FA and Draft.
IMO, we could use:
#2 CB.
LBs
DE Depth (Williams, Moore, Anderson) We need to add more though.
Safety (either SS or FS, I would like to see what Aaron Williams could at the safety spot)

It will be so refreshing to see our defense actually blitz for once...

The bills need to make sure Byrd is back
The bills can use some 3-4 players like Devito from the Jets and also I like the idea of bringing in Landry to play SS as well as playing searcy.
CB #2 is a must but not 1st rd pick i think signing a decent FA cb like Jenkins would be a good idea or talib

He's my 1st choice for a FA solution. I think we have to find a quality CB to pair with Gilmore or our D will get shredded.

I didnt watch enough of Cox, but if we were going the FA route for CB I would look at Sean Smith or Brent Grimes to physical corners that can press at the line of scrimage.

Good options as well.

We can all speculate who is and isn't going to be available in free agency and whether or not our teams should or will make a push for a need... However, you have to rely on the draft to build the core of your team. We need another corner and it has to be through the draft that we get one.

I agree but with that comes some awesome plays and some plays where they get smoked. I guess better than teams walking up and down the field on us.

I'm sure the idea of drafting another CB in round 1 makes everyone cringe, but Pettine's defense with the Jets was based around the secondary. They were able to bring pressure successfully because Revis and Cromartie could hold down the back end. If we want to follow that model in Buffalo, Dee Milliner could be a potential target with the #8 pick. Putting Milliner across from Gilmore would give our front 7 a lot of freedom and flexibility.
If Pettine brings a LB or two with him from New York, CB would be the only major need on defense. I dont think there will be value at the QB position when we pick in the 1st round. Milliner at #8, then trade back into the 1st round for our QB is a path I could definately see us taking.

First sentence is true. Second sentence is ridiculous. Every good team is built through good drafting. No certain position is included/excluded from getting a good piece to the puzzle via free agency.

You may have misunderstood where I was going. I am not saying cornerback is excluded nor any other position for that matter. I am saying that where we stand right now, free agency is not what we need to be worried about. We don't know what the pool looks like at corner, so we have to prepare for it as though we will not be signing a corner in free agency. If a guy that fits what Mike Pettine is trying to do is available for a bargain, then I'm all for it. But we can't sit here and depend on that. I am a firm believer in building through the draft, and I always will be. It's going to be hard to get me to believe that free agency is the answer, because 9 times out of 10, it is not.

Ah...I hadn't responded to your earlier post, but this clears things up quite a bit. I also agree wholeheartedly with this. Not only is it the most cost effective way to solve personnel problems, it also increases our chances of having long-term relationships with key players.

Ok, so we all agree on the basics. Your wording confused me some. You did write that the CB HAS to be addressed through the draft. Your second post cleared that up though.
