The Kansas City Chiefs fired defensive coordinat - panxing18 - 03-08-2019 or Bob Sutton on Tuesday Youth Jordan Poyer Jersey , and with Chiefs coach Andy Reid’s past history with Sean McDermott, it is natural for Buffalo Bills fans to wonder if Sutton might be headed to Buffalo. Sutton and McDermott have never worked together that we can find, so that’s not likely. ESPN’s Adam Schefter broke the news of Sutton’s firing and followed it up with a very interesting tweet:Ryan coached the Bills in 2015 and 2016 before being fired for failing to live up to expectations. He took a great defense Jim Schwartz had assembled and turned it into a sub-par unit. The last time he was a defensive coordinator was in 2008, but he did play a heavy role in the defenses in Buffalo and in his stint as head coach of the New York Jets. In New York, his teams ranked 1, 3, 5, 8 Buffalo Bills Hats , 11, and 6 in yards allowed and had a similar downward trajectory in points allowed during his tenure. 2010 was the last time his defense finished in the top ten in both scoring and points. In Buffalo, they were in the middle of the pack both seasons.Like most NFL defenses, the Chiefs rely on nickel and dime more than their base defense, but they run a 3-4 similar to Ryan’s. He did draft Reggie Ragland, who currently stands in the middle of Kansas City’s defense.Ryan is currently under contract with ESPN and has been since leaving Buffalo.If Ryan signs with the Chiefs, it would save the Bills a portion of Ryan’s $5.5 million salary Buffalo is required to pay him in 2019. Whatever Ryan makes in a new job will be subtracted from the figure Buffalo owes him as an offset.Of course, it should be noted that Reid’s last defensive coordinator before Sutton was recently released Bills coach Juan Castillo Buffalo Bills Hoodie , though he coached the offensive line for the Bills. The Buffalo Bills hosted the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. Through three quarters the Bills managed to keep the game within striking distance. Inevitably, the Patriots broke through to the end zone. A Buffalo offense that had done nothing all game respondedby doing worse than nothing. Let’s dive into playing time. It has to be less depressing than the final score. Offense (64 snaps)OK, I was wrong. Right away the snap counts remind us that Derek Anderson was injured at the end of the game. (Marcus Murphy saw one snap, missed his block, and Anderson ended up injured.) We’ll be watching that situation closely as the quarterback room was already bare bones when it included Anderson. Keep an eye on Dion Dawkins as well, as he was looked at by trainers. He returned to the game without missing a snap, so hopefully there’s no bad news there. Patrick DiMarco hit the field twelve times, which is a higher than usual. In contrast Customized Buffalo Bills Jerseys , there were no extra linemen used for a jumbo package. Cam Phillips hit the field again, but did not see any change in playing time. In general the skill position players remained stable this week. Defense (76 snaps)Another injury to monitor will be the concussion sustained by Tremaine Edmunds. With a short week to prepare for the Chicago Bears, the Bills might be better served preparing backup Julian Stanford rather than rushing back Edmunds. Trent Murphy was out for this game and his usual 60-70% of playing time was distributed mainly between Lorenzo Alexander and Shaq Lawson. Lorenzo Alexander also continued to spend time as a defensive tackle and logged his highest snap total of the year in this game. Alexander used the extra time wisely with two sacks, a forced fumble, and six combined tackles. Jordan Phillips’s time has slowly crept up since joining the team on October 3rd.Special Teams (28 snaps)The list above includes players who saw 30% or more of special teams snaps. In total, 36 players took the field on special teams, which has been pretty typical this season. The group above has been mostly stable as well. Lorenzo Alexander continued to be a core player on this unit even with the extra time on defense. Micah Hyde has seen a little extra time with special teams in the last couple weeks. This is likely a result of his reliability as a punt returner being needed. |
