The problem is not the man, Sean McDermott. The problem is Sean McDermott’s defensive scheme. The undersized front and tweener linebackers are subject to injuries. I find it ironic that we understand controlling the line of scrimmage on the offensive side of the ball but still don’t draft and scheme to control it on the defensive side. We have a great regular season defense but it all changes in the playoffs. The term “fool’s gold” is a good term to describe this defense. Additionally, the line of scrimmage issues come to light when we play physical, run-focused teams. I think this coupled with the lack of experience on the back end with our safety play will result in an early playoff exit. The strength of the defense is the ability to disguise coverages and bait turnovers. I don’t see us doing that against an equally good team, especially one that can run the rock and control the line of scrimmage. I think we’re getting set up for a Bill Parcell’s type lesson in the playoffs. Run the ball, eat clock, keep Josh off the field. I hope I’m wrong.

Anyone have any advice on what time to show up at the stadium? Drove up from PA last night, first night game. Was thinking of heading to Big Tree around 3?

@Shaw66 well written and absolutely spot on. I was at the game as well. Was surprised by the light traffic upon arrival the same as you, everyone was already there! Our tailgating experience was grabbing a couple free Labatts lights from Canadians who had to get rid of the Zubaz striped 12 packs they were carrying around before entering the gate. Amazing time!

Yeah, felt the same. But, I get it, sorta…

I was waiting for the first foot fetish shot! I love this place!

Game plan: Run the ball!!!

Frick! Get well soon my friend. Stay healthy!!

Saw the same thing. He was getting blown off the line multiple times.

For me: -Chicago has a pre-season game under their belt already -Very vanilla pre-season -D-line still not generating a pass rush -O-line not great at run blocking -Not happy about Big Ed getting nicked up on first play -Oh, and I’m not a fan of the new kickoff. -Go Bills

Couldn’t the kick off rule change free up some special teams spots in order to carry extra D-line?

Fantastic interview. Thanks for posting. For those wondering whether to listen or not, just hit the play button and enjoy!

@GASabresIUFan good job! It will be interesting to see what the Big Baller does to start Day 2. Personally, I stand pat and make my pick.
