Wrestling with the Buffalo Bills
By Daniel Hahn
Ronald Darby/TreDavious White – The Revival
Perhaps the key to the Bills season will be the jelling and productivity that they get from the cornerback position. The Bills will feature two young cornerbacks whom they hope will be the cornerstones of their defense for years to come.
By drafting TreDavious White in the first round, all eyes will be on him to eventually become a starting CB this year. He is a rookie and a key piece to the success of the McDermott era.
In WWE there is a movement quietly taking place, and that is the revival of tag team wrestling. Funny enough, the WWE group I am comparing the Bills starting CBs to is The Revival.
The Bills are going to be a throwback style of DB play. They will feature heavy zone principles and are a far cry from the Ryan style of man-to-man. The style will be simple and hopefully highly effective due to that simplicity.
The Revival is a new tag team within WWE, and their style is a throwback to a simple and basic form of tag team wrestling. They hope that simple equates to success. It has in NXT, and being simple in today’s wrestling is different, which will make them standout.
In the NFL all defenses strive to be fast. For the Bills, under Ryan, we thought that complexity meant confusion, and offenses would slow down. In retrospect, the inverse happened and the Bills defensive complexity caused us to slow down. Now under McDermott, they are hoping a throwback to simple, means successful and fast.
