Default Buffalo reverting back to a 4-3

Since I heard the Bills are bailing on the 3-4, I thought about OLB Courtney Upshaw who most "draft guru's" had slated to go to the Bills.

Well, Seattle, KC and AZ are all on the clock and I don't see any of them selecting Upshaw.

I don't think the Cowboys can pass on a pass rushing upgrade like him.

Wonder if Buffalo is considering making a play for Mario Williams?

I don't think he would go there, but maybe they are scheming


nvm it's the Bills.

What's their reasoning for switching schemes?
There's always more to the story.

They hired Dave Wannstedt, our old DC. he is a 4/3 guru. On a side note I heard that Miami was also going back to the 4/3.

Probably their personell. They have Dareus and Kyle Williams, both fit more in a 4-3 than 3-4 and both are tremendous players. They also have had a heck of a time trying to find a good pass rushing OLB.

With Kyle Williams becoming a 4-3 DT, we'll now officially have the lightest NT in the NFL by quite a bit. I really hope we finally move Rat.
We need wins, and that's all we need. I don't give a damn about anyone on this roster over wins. I'd trade Ware, Lee and Dez if it meant more wins.

Why wouldn't the Bills take Upshaw?

I think they will.

Upshaw is not a pass rushing upgrade.

He is definitely a better pass rusher than Ingram, that's for sure. Replacing Spencer with Ingram would be a step backwards for this defense. Replacing Spencer with Upshaw would be closer to a lateral move.

There is no one in this draft that is upgrade on Spencer.

Rather sign Spencer and use 14 to get a 10 year Pro Bowler like DeCastro or upgrade somewhere else.

I heard that about Miami also and if true getting their NT would be a huge part of my offseason plan.
