Not sure how much will be learned, but if you have a lame duck coach and out of the playoff race, then it can't hurt Yeah I’d be fine with this move. But there’s a chance Crossman is the one who got him hired, so would he really do anything different?

Cannot play with them, cannot win with them, cannot coach with them. Can't do it. There's been changes nearly every week and that's on McDermott.This week..Holmes gone..Foster in as the right side gunner.These "minor" transactions that have been happening every week...aren't so minor.

More evidence that Crossman is probably gone
oldmanfan Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 I expect that will be the first post-season decision. No more Crossman.

Sometimes it's more about motivation, discipline, etc vs what scheme is being deployed. At this point, nothing to lose
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Well no ***** Sean. It was obvious for about 11 weeks that the STs was a big issue. Give Crossman 8 or 9 more games and then get serious about making a change. These guys downfall is going to be not knowing when to cut bait on dead weight. Peterman got about 15 games more then he should and still somehow managed to lose us 3 this year. The STs have been terrible for a year and a half. Week 14 seems like a good time for the coach to notice. 1
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Please throw some shade at Castillo too.

They ended up at the 37 or so. Can't be that hard, at this point....To notice, right? I mean, a kid can see it. They need an immediate change with STs. Give someone else a chance.
LABILLBACKER Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 5 hours ago, Phil The Thrill said: He did all but bring up his name. McDermott was pissed As he should be. I've said all year Crossman and his special unit is the worst in the NFL. Penalties, players out of their lanes, poor tackling, 3 punters, muffs, fumbles on and on. As much as fans want to rag on the offense, it's not the weakest part of this team.
Big Gun Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 I think it's funny when a head coach seat starts getting warm others get blamed. Ultimately you are the one who kept and started Peterman, traded for Benjamin, hired Fraizer and kept Crossman, nobody else to blame for your poor personnel decisions but you McClown, own up to it!

Monty Green Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Nathan Peterman for Special Teams coach. Kelvin Benjamin for conditioning. Get 'er done, McBean! 1

Yup, I wish we could find future high caliber staters in the 5th round 2 years in a row or something or sign 2 safeties that a lot of other teams overlooked and have one of the best safety tandems in the league. How I wish that was the case. Imagine if we could just manage to find a UDFA that turned out to be a likely #1 WR or great #2 WR that would be something huh. Those would be some great talent evaluators. Sure wish that was us. Just imagine how excited we would all be if we had a crew that likely found our long awaited franchise QB and likely ProBowl caliber MLB in the same draft. Ofcoarse if that ever happened there would probably be some that were too blind and devoid of actual football knowledge to see it. Edited December 10, 2018 by formerlyofCtown 1
transplantbillsfan Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 No *****!!!! Special Teams is the primary reason we've lost multiple games this year! I think, though, in a lost season (playoff wise at least) like this, our Special Teams sucking and losing us multiple games in spite of our D and our QB might bode pretty well for the future.

Well, hopefully those orange slices come packed in a suitable syrup and say “mandarin” on the label? Those are the best and I think the ST players would appreciate your going the extra mile like that your first day on the job ?

I don't think it matters at all. It's the players. And laughably McBeane talk up STs all during the off-season and training camp. And they suck because the talent at LB, WR, and back-up safety sucks. That is the bulk of your ST guys that matter beyond the LS, P, and K.

My point was if they let Crossman go for whatever reasoning he could coach the remaining games. Crossman (or any ST coach) has to submit his input for the depth decisions. McD/Beane don't do it on their own.

It really seems like a screen name Rex Ryan would make.
