eball Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 One can't help but wonder if the Bills just "stole" this coach from the Colts? It's admittedly odd that Reich fired their OL coach this week -- was Johnson going to be promoted or had Reich already told him to look elsewhere? Did the Bills just jump on this early and wow him? From the outside looking in it's a curious decision to leave Indy for Buffalo unless there's something we don't know -- which could be a number of things.

elroy16 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 A different take on the TE coaching experience. Off the top of my head, I don't recall the TE's being adept blockers. I haven't had any co-workers tell me he's terrible (as I did with Castillo), so that's something. 1

jimmy10 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Looks like his time at Miami of Ohio would have overlapped with Roethlisberger. He doesn't come from Carolina, but I like it anyway. 1

I was wondering the same thing - though I don't know enough about the Colts to know if they plan on re-signing him, but my guess would be he'd want to stay on the playoff team trending up if he could.

Somebody somewhere posted the top FA OL options and how they came into the league. I’m too lazy to look it up, but there were as many 6th rounders as 1st or 2nd as I recall. I’m not AGAINST taking a quality guy high in the draft (within reason), but they are often developed over time with good coaching and hard work. 1
Marvlevydraftdaygenius Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Well I have to say Chris brown, knew what he was talking about when he said McDermott, was looking to get younger Coaches. I like the moves of special teams and offensive line you get a younger perspective on things, time will only tell if it works. I only wish Frazier would have left because I am starting not to like his out dated cover two.

He is a well respected Tony Dungy disciple. I think he just needs to be a bit more aggressive like they were in the Miami game.

Frazier seems to go into a shell when he plans against better QBs such as Rivers, Luck, Rogers, Flacco, and Brady. The Vikings game was interesting, he went after Cousins, with great results. I'm not sure why some of these DCs think you can still get away with rushing 3 or 4, not get pressure on the QB, and expect the defensive backfield to hold down the fort, so to speak. DB is a difficult position to play since the rules are skewed in favor of the WR. Just a bad strategy, IMO. 1

I wasn't able to view the Buffalo News piece, but the Buffalo Rumblings article gives a lot of insight into McD's scheme. Frazier seems to be more conservative than McD, though. So you're probably correct that McD generally OK with Frazier's planning, but interesting how different the D was the second half of the Charger game when McD took over the play calling.

Hardly seems like they are the best. At protecting the quarterback and giving him the time to throw they were. In 99” the bills had the best defensive in the league and where were we after the music city miracle debacle. At home!

If they are the best o-line in football why are they not still playing in this pass happy offensive league?
