Coach Tuesday Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 So basically our worst nightmares about Rex come true. What will continue to separate fans like me from others is my refusal to just gloss over the latter part of Shady's statement. Yep. The nightmare will continue when he and Rob have their Fox Pregame show next year and use the opportunity to blast the Bills every chance they get.

MAJBobby Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 So basically our worst nightmares about Rex come true. What will continue to separate fans like me from others is my refusal to just gloss over the latter part of Shady's statement. Dont gloss it over. I think there was players that were not accountable (Shady Said it, Sammy said it unnamed players talking to Dunne have said it). Looking at you Marcel and Stephon.

I hate the idea that the HC has to babysit his players. But ours seem incapable of babysitting themselves/each other. Need a culture change.

Need a culture change. This is where I'd expect a veteran like Kyle to step in. Maybe the Bills need a vet or two from winning teams in addition a HC who's a disciplinarian to help implement a new mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry Turtle Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 It might be trivial, but Rex's preference to troll opponents with his weekly team captain selections, rather than establishing permanent captains plays into this accountability issue. I have a feeling that the players gave much more weight to the role of team captain than Rex did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I'm glad you said that, although I don't think that Sammy said his college program was more complex. He said Dabo was a disciplinarian and we need that. Lynn may actually be that. The real interesting thing though, is that Dareus flat out said that Alabama's defense was way, way more complicated than Rex's. Do you recall that Rex said he needed to simplify the D. And players said before the season he had. And they were playing much faster now. so which is it? Last year it was too complicated, this years it not so complicated as College. confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 You mean like when Freddy is cut? Love him but his presence for the many years he was on the team led to how many playoff appearances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Love him but his presence for the many years he was on the team led to how many playoff appearances? Playoff appearances don't necessarily make leaders. Kyle Williams is looked at as a leader by the lockeroom and he's never been there either.

LabattBlue Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 It is really aggravating when your teams best players are wasting their prime years wallowing in mediocrity. How many more seasons does Shady have left in him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Seeing McCoy's quotes on top of Sammy's from yesterday almost has me convinced Coughlin is exactly what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Maybe not Coughlin himself but perhaps a coach who worked for me. Hire Coughlin as a Senior coach adviser but do not sign him handle entire head coach role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
