Quote:So why not Poz as a 3-4 ILB?


 

I just still don't get it. Every time I hear a description of what we need for a 3-4 ILB, it's like I'm hearing a description of Poz.

Jacksonville plays a 4-3 defensive scheme, and that was the big factor in the decision, said Michael McCartney, Posluszny's Chicago-based agent.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:16px;font-family:Lora, georgia, serif;">"He got excited to play in a 4-3 defense in the middle," McCartney said. "He's leaving Buffalo with a heavy heart."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:16px;font-family:Lora, georgia, serif;">"I have so much respect for the Buffalo organization," McCartney said. "They did everything they could to try to sign him. But he felt more comfortable in a 4-3 defense. I want to emphasize how much respect I have for Jim Overdorf (Bills senior vice president of football administration) and the Bills. It was a tough decision."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:16px;font-family:Lora, georgia, serif;">Posluszny was drafted into the league as a 4-3 middle linebacker when the Bills took him in the second round in 2007. The Bills now use a 3-4 defense as their base scheme under coach Chan Gailey.
