Some habits die hard
With the beginning of every football season there is always a renewed hope that fans will see their team win a Superbowl. However, there are somethings that do not change.
The Buffalo Bills have one problem. That being stubbornness on part of the coaches.
The past couple of seasons saw former offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild being the guilty party. This year it is defensive coordinator Perry Fewell.
Fewell for some reason in their last game decided to stick with the same things over again, and again. Which ultimately cost them the game.
The problem is that fewell along with the staff is so enamored with defensive ends Chris Kelsay, and Aaron Schoble. His scheme relies on usually just a four man rush to disrupte offensive plays.
However, that has been far from the case. The only linemen getting penetration at this point has been the defensive tackles. Who alos provided the only big plays the defensive line has made.
This past week in his weekly interview on 106.5 WYRK in Buffalo, Kelsay subtley blammed the coaches for the loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
“They did not do anything different from what we saw on film. The only difference is that they ran a lot more short passing plays than they usually do,” said Kelsay.
Kelsay is on the money. Yeah, both he and Schobel stink, but how can they even get a chance at the quarterback if their defensive coordinator is slow to adjust.
Simply put Fewell better get his head out of his rear, or he is going to cost the Bills a shot at the playoffs.
