    Not every coach.

     

    The New England Patriots are the obvious and clear exception to the rule. Bill Belichick's ability to adapt scheme to player (and not vice versa) is the primary reason - possibly even more than having Tom Brady - that his teams have continued to have success for 15+ years straight. Mark my words. They will not miss Julian Edelman in the slightest. Because even if the team gets a drop-off in play from their backup slot receiver, they will simply shift to another focus on offense and keep on rolling.

     

    There are many reasons for the Buffalo Bills managing THIS MANY YEARS without even making the playoffs. But lack of continuity is absolutely near the top of the list. We have clearly had enough talent at various times during the drought to pull off a wild card slot. But the constant merry-go-round with head coaches, coordinators and schemes just keeps us stuck in the mud.

     

    It's only preseason, but the signs are already showing of this ridiculous cycle continuing. The offensive line, which has been solid for the last 2 years, is struggling badly with the new zone blocking. Tyrod Taylor looks very uncomfortable under center, and is regressing almost every snap he takes. Even the NFL's best running game is suddenly looking poor. As much as the defense looks improved (surprise, surprise after going back to 4-3), the offense clearly appears to be taking a step back. My guess is that our offense will cost us games early, Taylor will eventually get benched for the rookie, things still won't improve, and by years end Rick Dennison will be cast as the scapegoat. At which point, we will recycle offensive coordinators yet again.

  2. I was 20 min late for a meeting today. I had no good excuse. I have an important job, save lives, make a lot of money, and am a leader in my organization. I apologized to my team. We had a very productive day.

    I'm an adult and was treated like an adult.

    Sending home one of the most important players on your team is not discipline, it is not leadership and it certainly is not coaching. It is a publicity stunt.

    I am willing to give McDermott a grace period. But I think what he did was foolish and exactly opposite of how to coach a teammate or hold a team member accountable. In fact it is basic HR and he overreached.

    What happens when an assistant coach arrives late? What happens when McDermott makes a mistake?

    For those professionals in the community, what do you say? How would you expect to be treated?

    It is a given that you knew when you wrote this that it would instantly draw out the Dareus haters. However, I agree with you totally!

  4. There is no doubt in my mind that if Sammy is not under a fifth year option, he will have a monster year showing off for free agency in 2018. Where does all this Sammy doesn't want to be here stuff come from? The Bills were his favorite team growing up. Trade Sammy? Lunacy!

  5. IMO Doug did his job, the coach wants a position filled, Doug got the best he could to fill it. Rex did a horrible job of coaching.

    The Bills will be hard pressed to find a replacement with the upside Doug possessed.

     

    Best wishes to you and your family Doug!
