Williams: "I've Seen a Lot in the Young Guys"
The Buffalo Bills' 41-9 loss to the Chicago Bears was not enough to deter veteran Kyle Williams from joining WGR Sports Radio 550 for his weekly Monday interview.
Here is some of the best from Williams' conversation with Mike Schopp:
11-5: Kyle Williams on WGR (11:48)
Williams - Seen a lot in the young guys. These guys have gone through some tough situations and have done a good job. I pray they'll only be that much better for going through it.
Williams on next year - This is so hard, it takes so much mentally. It's not something you can be halfway in or halfway out. Don't let my mind wander.
Williams - It's a testament to what turnovers do in the NFL. When they create turnovers and we can't match that.
Williams on fans behind bench - It's an outside voice, outside opinion. Whether they're being positive or negative you have to put it out of your mind.
Williams on Nick Saban (his college coach) - It's been a while. He's off winning national championships. So much respect for him, thankful I had an opportunity to play and learn under him.
Williams on TD celebration - Never thought about it or came up with a plan. What we did last year was totally spur of the moment.
Williams on the Jets - They do a good job getting the running game going and protecting their rookie quarterback.
11-5: Sean McDermott with Schopp & the Bulldog on WGR (12:28)
McDermott on QB in general - It's a big area that needs to play well, regardless of what happens at the other positions, you need your quarterback to play well and play well on a consistent basis.
McDermott - You look at the scores every week, the game last night, Saints-Rams. That's what you gotta do, you have to score to give yourself a chance to win football games.
McDermott - I steal some time with Josh throughout the week. It's an important relationship, the coach and the young 1st round quarterback.
McDermott on Allen - When you combine the scripted plays and the warmups, we count them up and it's about 100. Maybe a little north of that. Trying to mimic what he would throw in a normal practice.
McDermott - Have to make sure our QB has enough time to get the ball down the field.
McDermott - I go to bed thinking about it, wake up thinking about it. Trying to find ways to improve. From amount of reps in practice, to the way we practice, researching things.
McDermott on QB coach - David (Culley) knows the passing game, which really is what embodies the quarterback position. Our offensive coordinator spends a lot of time with our quarterbacks as well.
