Dukes of Awesome — ... It is physically and nearly mathematically impossible to have a worse d-line then last year.   So he can’t be of much hurt. He was just fired, so maybe he can’t be of much help. His defense ranked near the bottom of the league, despite playing whatever QB scrub Minnesota started (twice); whatever QB scrub Detroit started (twice); and whatever QB scrub Chicago started (twice).  He went to Davidson, so it fits the profile of Bills coaches who are both book smart and lack personality. He coached at Duke, so he is well ...
