They discussed the defensive scheme he could install, the fits already on the Buffalo roster, and the type of players they could seek this offseason. Steve is quizzed on Super Bowl history in The Numbers Game.

Go Bills
6 – 11 next year. This team will be AWFUL! Sell off those Highmark / Bedpan season tickets!
Ed Oliver is not worth a roster spot and always hurt trade him, get rid of most of the recycled players they've let us down
Steve's Ted Washington 3 4 defense is not Leonhards 3 4.
Ed Oliver may be a guy that can get you a 2 pick or a player.
Trade Oliver
Sounds like we could use Tremaine Edmunds lol
That is amazing how the NFC has won only one more Super Bowl than the AFC, considering the NFC won 13 straight Super Bowls at one point (and yes the Bills 0-4 record was during that stretch)
Even though the Bills ran 4-3 like defense I feel the results were more like a 3/4. Minimal sacks, lots of action w LB/Sft/CB blitz schemes….the way contracts are there will be lots of changes w this staff, would have been the same Amt of changes w the old staff.
This may or may not be a dumb question, but could we see Ed Oliver playing inside linebacker as a run thumper/inside pass rusher? I think he's athletic enough to fit that role. He might have to drop about 20 pounds though to make it workable.
These guys are making way too much out of this “3-4 vs 4-3” deal. No one runs base anymore and the difference in lining up is literally one foot over lol. Oliver is a great player and he’ll continue to do that. Just relax
This Ed Oliver panics is silly. He can absolutely play the 4i in a 3-4. He won’t be going straight up against tackles every play that is NOT how it works lol
Bring back the Buffalo bills Cheerleaders
Rousseau is number 50 that sounds like a LB number, DE's should be Oliver and Sanders.
What’s a POD?
I have an idea. Let's start with tackling. Let's not miss 5 tackles every drive. No matter the alignment, if we can't tackle, we get run over.
Think this team will be very different next year. Sad because a lot of my favorite players aren't fits in new scheme. Hope they are able to find a good trade partner for a elite receiver.
Oliver would be a good chip to trade possibly for a WR
GET THOSE MEDIOCRE DEFENSIVE PLAYERS TF OUT OF HERE 💯 I HOPE JIM CLEANS HOUSE
Ed Oliver isn’t going anywhere. Not with his talent and under contract for at least a couple more years
Send Deon Walker to Japan for Sumo wrestling school. And pack his lunch full of fried chicken. NT before you know it
Trade Oliver and Rousseau. Luckily Jones is a free agent.
So the two highest paid Bills defensive line players are not a good fit for this new scheme? That's a little nuts. Enen a trade would still leave bad cap ramificaions. They note two of the Bills weakest d-line players (Sanders-Solomon) are good fits? What could go wrong? Plenty.
Your "burning questions" are never a question!!! 😂
How attractive is Buffalo to free agents now that New coaches are in place?
They cooked next year, gettin run over😂😂😂
Bring Bosa back for a transitional year. He played in a 3-4 system for most of his NFL career.
Javon Solomon might surprise in this defense
Landon is going to need to muscle up to 295
The defense will be at the bottom of the league no doubt, they don't have the kind of players to run it. I don't think those kinds of players even exist anymore, who's the nose tackle😅. Shameful but Josh Allen won't ever get there with a huge reset on defense that will take at least 3 years to see it through fully. Then be stuck with players too big😢 to play in the most prevalent defense known to the damn sport 4-3.
Oliver should be traded. Doesn't fit and oft injured
Bryce Boetcher for MLB
Hopefully this new defensive approach can finally stop the run!
Can’t be worse than McD’s D has been for last 6 years …
Milano , white , T Johnson , Phillips , Poyer and Oliver all must go … they all were part of the bad D Since the 2019 Texan playoff loss …and continued to this day … bring in fresh new hungrier players
I’m not trading Oliver unless it’s for a #1WR or DE
Deon Walker a beast. Sanders is 🗑️
Just slow the run down make tackles
Seriously ed is staying thats just crazy . The fact is ed would be actually good his power .
