McDermott’s Defense against #1 Offense? Discuss

[BringBackFergy]

Fire his ass!!!!

[boyst]

I Blame Dorsey

[GunnerBill]

I have been critical of some of the DC work Sean has put out there this year...  but the past 2 weeks he has done a really nice job, both in terms of scheme and playcalling.

Shouldn't have even let up that field goal of not for his horrible calls and terrible game management. The defense wins in spite of him, you can clearly see the utter frustration on their faces when he arrogantly claps at them.

[DaBillsFanSince1973]

Didn't he lose the locker room?

[Ray Stonada]

No one said he's not a good DC. Close games are when he has choked.

[BananaB]

Best game they played all year. 

[BaaadThingsMan]

Kicked that *****in ass!

[Lionel Hutz]

It’s a good win but this really isn’t unexpected for a McDermott team. When the offense is cooking his defense looks like the best in the league. It’s when the pressure is on that his defense folds. 
 

Also, the fact that we have this much talent and are still needing help to make the playoffs and are in this situation is on McDermott.

[Roundybout]

He lost the locker room and the wheels were coming off I thought 

[scuba guy]

He schooled him any other questions 

[Virgil]

All that without Milano, Jones, Hyde, Tre, and half alive Von.  
 

Absolutely crazy 

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

I Blame whoever forgot to tell Dorsey that Cook was on the roster.. seems like a spreadsheet copy paste thing?

For sure, all credit to the offense.

 

And we have amazing talent like Daquan Jones, Matt Milano, and Tre White. I mean, come on man!

[Magox]

He dialed up a great game, took away everything that they wanted to do.

I think the bye really helped even out the workload for him.

[strive_for_five_guy]

Must have made a great speech prior to the game 😬😝

Yup.  Again, if he’s an introspective person - and he seems to be that - Dunne did him a huge favor by mapping out for him exactly what he needs to work on.

 

McD’s main issue may just be that he’s a slow processor - we all know the type.  He can coach during the week but sometimes has trouble making quick adjustments and decisions in the heat of the moment, which seems to cause him to tighten up.  But if he can fix some of those issues and get better at relating to his players (there are plenty of professional development consultants who specialize in this kind of coaching), he can emerge a much better coach.
