GoBills! Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Remember when coach McD said this " “It is hard to lead the players on the field when you are up that far away,” said McDermott. “He has to feel like he has good leadership down on the field, which he does with our position coaches.” McDermott said he’ll leave it up to Daboll to decide as to where he feels most comfortable in calling plays for the offense come the regular season." What leadership do we have on the side lines with a rookie QB and Peterman? Seems he needs to be down there on the field, I don't like when coordinators sit in the booth, feels too far removed.

Agreed. It's easier to see the game and call good plays in the booth. But you coach & motivate on the sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 You have these guys 8-10 hours per day 5-7 days per week. If they can’t produce for 3 hours without you by their side, you’re messing something up the rest of the week/year. Not to mention, isn’t that what positional coaches and contact with your HC is for? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFL Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Well being up in the booth apparently didnt work. Maybe get his butt on the sideline and be a coach and show some leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing from all the guys and getting the energy if the players is important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, how much? not enough, but sitting with Nate and Josh after a series can make a posiy impact. Also shady looked pissed why sit up there in your warm booth while these guys freeze their off ass only to get chewed out again by you later on.

fridge Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 We were so bad that the annual “coordinator in the booth” thread is no longer funny to me. I usually get a laugh or two out of these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a valid point that the coaches gain cred if they share the conditions the players are going through. I think the best situation is to have the OC on the sideline but to have a trusted assistant up there visualizing what the opponent's D is giving you and calling plays strategically. I don't think Daboll brought anyone with him he trusts in that role yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadonkadonk Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 McDaniels is on the sideline with Tommy. Must be the secret we are missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 There were a few series when the Bills were on D where I saw Nate on the sidelines talking with Billy Buffalo. Not sure how much that may have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Maybe we need to find a way to get Daboll into space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone was freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
