Dudes like this are dime a dozen players and vet minimum guys. MVS was interesting because of his size and speed, but you're still better off with young guys who cost nothing. Pay the elite players, everyone else is expendable. Give us your list of Elite Bills, "cost nothing" Bills and Bills which should be let go. Quote

I played DB in college so I have a really good read on secondary schemes McDermott has the most complicated secondary scheme bar none in the NFL, therefore the world His combination coverages... Late shifts from cover 2 to cover 3 shell... Palms coverage... Bracket coverages... Banjo coverage ... There's a reason why they had the opportunity to draft Marshawn lattimore 7 years ago... Traded down to take tre White... The heady football player with enough athleticism 6 2 3 Quote

Aside from Samuel who played well for Brady before, I'm fairly sure that if Beane had more cap space to work with, he would have signed better guys. 1 1 Quote

My observation is he is good when he single covers due to his speed but when defense does criss cross of receivers he cannot keep track of WRs. 1 Quote
NickelCity Posted November 14 Posted November 14 I expect him to get signed by the chiefs which I'm assuming he was angling for. Quote
Nephilim17 Posted November 14 Posted November 14 He asks his release from a team with playoff and maybe even Super Bowl aspirations. Gets signed by another team that might struggle to get 4 or 5 wins and is cut. Something smells off. I would bet his attitude is an issue. Maybe feels entitled and doesn't want to work or play backup. 4 1 Quote

But it also feels like something where his agent heard from a much better team that is now interested in him and asked the titans for a favor. Idk Quote

My observation is he is good when he single covers due to his speed but when defense does criss cross of receivers he cannot keep track of WRs. I think it has to start in the preparation, meeting rooms, film rooms and practice Especially coming from college for him some defensive playbooks aren't as exotic as others for secondaries... Some are my man is better than yours and we're going to man up on the outside the majority of the day Sean's coverages in the back end even one play call... Can have 3 4 5 different variations that could happen depending on the offensive personnel or alignment and route combination The boundary corners are working with the safeties and the slot with on the action coverages... It could be quarters that turns man... But only on an outbreaking route from a boundary receiver or slot... In breaking means nothing It could be cover three that turns into cover one... If all the receivers go vertical The boundary corner might pick up the slot receiver based on the release I don't want to say he's under preparing cuz I don't know the kid and I want him to be the best he could be.. and I certainly don't think he's horrible... In a game that's as fast as the NFL and Sean's defense could mold on the fly to plays.. you either learn to react really good to it or you dont... It's as much a mental position for McDermott's defense as it is physical And that's not how it is everywhere... Even before Buffalo.. McDermott's corner protege was Josh Norman another smart heady corner not super fast It's about the brain Edited November 15 by Buffalo716 1 Quote
CSBill Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Maybe he just sucks, and the TBD GM's who wanted him in over Rapp and Hamlin really don't know as much as the Bills and Titans coaches. Hard to believe, but "Maybe"? 🤷♂️ Quote
