Dave Wannstedt hired as Bills defensive coordinator

[dolpns13]

He's a good DC but the Bills' really don't have that many quality players on defense. Byrd, Dareus and Barnett are good and their other 2 rookies Sheppard and Williams might be good over time, but they don't have the personnel to have a top 10 defense.

I can agree with that.

We have 2 good coordinators, no head coach. lol.

People are just jaded because he ran our team into the ground. Like or hate the guy, the man knows defense. I'm curious as to how he does running a 3-4 though...

Wanny is a joke... the only reason he was successful as a coordinator was because he had premier talent.

Guy runs 4/3 press man concept which demands a MLB and shut down corners....

He is as vanilla as it gets and his D always caved when you needed it most in Miami.

Sorry that's pretty much ANY NFL defense facing a premier offense. I can think of more times of an offense gutting a defense for a win than a defensive stop to win a game. That's just how it is in this era.

Fault him for Fiedler and all the offensive issues we've had. But his defense was still scary good.

Strange is correct. Wanny's mind runs to the simple and overly conservative. His Dolphins defenses allowed too many last minute touchdown drives with the game on the line. I doubt he's going to have the same success with the new passing game rules that he had eons ago in Dallas. I don't see Wanny mixing in blitz packages or fooling offenses with stunts.
