		<description><![CDATA[Some of you people crying about &quot;you don&#039;t go to a division rival&quot; sound like you&#039;re still in high school. This is the NFL. There are a limited amount of these jobs available. These coaches aren&#039;t beholden to some &quot;high school rivalry&quot;. These are grown men, who are getting paid for what they do. They go where they think they have the best opportunity, and where the work is. Some of you hurt &quot;little girls&quot; need to grow up!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Helps Bills, hurts Jets. Knows Pats, beat &#039;em in he playoffs. Knows Miami too. Smart move. Ryan took over D to try and take media pressure off him, like it wasn&#039;t his fault or something. They didn&#039;t get better when Ryan took over. He&#039;s free to succeed in Buffalo now]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before Mario was hurt running his position in Wade&#039;s 30 defense in Houston , Mario had 5.5 sacks... that was good for the limited time he spent before being injured! I am feeling good about this. I think it&#039;s a good hire and it also is a plus when you get a DC hire from the same division for the inside info. Looking good Bills... I&#039;m liking the hire even tho my wish list included Lovie, Horton and Raheem.... Good Hire! Let&#039;s see if it works out.]]></description>

I was thinking the same thing this morning when I heard about the hire (about the switch back to 3-4) and I didn&#039;t like the idea. However, I actually just talked myself into the idea, as long as they continue with a hybrid look. Kelvin Sheppered is not MLB on a 4-3 team. He is way to small to handle blockers. In a 3-4, however, he is a better ILB. In a 4-3 you have to scrape the line and find the hole and take on the lead blocker as a MLB. A 3-4 ILB (depending on scheme) usually fills and attacks upfield. Shep has the speed to do it and it allows him to take his phsicallity to the O-line without a whole lot of insticnt, instead of trying to handle the blocks coming to him. You would also be able to rotate in Arthur Moats, who has the tools to develop into a decent pass-rusher. Mario Williams has spent time in a 3-4 and they could adopt a scheme from the Colts and how they handled Freeney. Is all that really matters to me is that they hired a guy with legit experience, and that has been productive. As a Football fan, I would love to see him put some pull in for Landry to come and hook up with Byrd. We also get the Jets Assistant Secondary coach, his name escapes me, but maybe he can turn Gilmore and McKelvin into some decent play makers on the outside. I am truely excited now. This just has a diffrent feel to it. The Draft will go a long way to truely define this season.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pettine got salty when Rex took back the play calling from him this season. It doesn&#039;t matter what D scheme you play or teach if you don&#039;t have a feeling for calling the plays. If he can learn that he&#039;d be a good fit in Buffalo. Rex thought he was too passive with the blitz and wasn&#039;t aggressive enough. Don&#039;t get it twisted Bills fans, this was Rex defense not Pettine&#039;s so don&#039;t expect a top 10 D off the bat. He may take a lil bit to get it situated. Nothing but the best of luck Mike in your new job and keep the leaks to a minimum.]]></description>
