All the coaches are for everybody else. 😊 Quote
Cheektowaga Chad Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Are these recent hires defensively , outside the usual McDermott/zone coaching tree? If so that points to a positive sign that McDermott is embracing more of a CEO role and letting the staff do more the hands on coaching Which in my opinion is needed and beneficial Quote
Mark92 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 God I hope McDermott has finally learned his lesson. His defensive scheme just doesn't work against the elite teams. Time for a change. 2 1 Quote

It’s not like it will be wholesale change, but I think we will adapt. You have to keep adapting. 1 Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted February 6 Posted February 6 (edited) People probably won’t like this but the Bills bolstering their DL/pass rush coaching leads me to believe they’re bringing in some young talent that will need coaching. Bills are likely to draft an edge and DT very high in the draft. Edited February 6 by Buffalo_Stampede 2 1 Quote
Saint Doug Posted February 6 Posted February 6 The most important question hasn’t been asked yet: how did this guy’s defenses do against the Chiefs? 1 Quote
MikePJ76 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 side note to the discussion here but. I wonder if Nielsen will have a positive report on Jaguars Safety Andre Cisco. He is an undrafted free agent and played at SU. A 3 some of Rapp, Bishop, Cisco could be a good one. I mean its not a 3 some as good as like one with Tiffani Thiessen and Cindy Crawford...but it could be pretty good. Plus I guess add in Cam Lewis. He is a veteran that will have some idea of playing in buffalo and living in the climate, also a NY guy from Long Island. Getting a vet in that wont break the bank to go with Rapp and Bishop could maybe give them more options on draft day. Not that he or bishop or rapp should ever stop them from drafting a true difference maker if one is there when they pick in the top 100. just putting it out there. 1 1 Quote
DaVinci Posted February 6 Posted February 6 I don't think this is optimal. You're current DC has lost a vote of confidence. Now you bring in someone with more experience. Who's in charge? Is the new guy going to step all over the current one. This doesn't seem like a great working dynamic. Quote

Little updates, like that. Maybe, I dunno, wait for the season to end before whining about not bringing in players. Little details, like free agency not even beginning for more than a month yet.

eball Posted February 6 Posted February 6 I like moves like this…always trying to bring in new voices and get better. Quote
Jerome007 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 DL sure needs better coaching Kromer has been outstanding as OL coach, but if the DLine keeps underperforming, time to also look at the coaching And why would this hire signify Rasul Douglas is gone? I don't think getting rid of your best CB will help any coaches Quote

Jerome007 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Just now, Draconator said: Douglas is far from our best CB. Yes, Benford is better. I messed up. But he is the 2nd best. And... we need 2 starters. Quote

We can do better in Free Agency for not that much more than what it would cost to keep Douglas. Quote

No. It's adding assets to the room. As they should be doing. and it makes me right as well. I had suggested this. An NFL Veteran for Defensive senior Assistant. Love it 4 hours ago, JP51 said: Let us pray.. Outside of bringing in a new DC... I dont care... I think getting a new set of eyes on the Defense is absolutely in order... have no idea if he is the one... I dont really know him... but I am with you on your premise.. at least they know they have a problem... that is the first step... so color me encouraged. Problem ? or continuous improvement mindset. One thing I do appreciate about McD is he is always moving forward with his Coaches. I call this a good thing , and the Dline assistant as well. Thanks Terry P for supporting this Quote
