tf is 'running out of frustration'? Like 'oh my line can't block, that's pretty frustrating?'

Has anyone come up w an answer for why McDermott, defensive mind non pareil, allowed Frazier to mismanage his side of the ball for 5 years until finally stepping in?

This. No reason he shouldn't be at or very the top of the QB salary heap. NFL economics101

Fine me one single book that doesn't have the Bills as favorites to win the division

We had a couple wild ones around the house I grew up in Insufferable screeching for sure

Yes it's a decent comparison But Bene Benwikere wasn't so much around the LOS as Taron Johnson iirc, he was more of a cover nickel thus his nickname big play Bene

No I wouldn't call them the same at all, couldn't tell you whether that was due to scheme preference or personnel (likely both) My brother is a panthers fan and we used to watch bills and panthers games together every weekend

I watched the McDermott defense in Carolina and my impressions: -dline was similarly constructed (lot of combo 1T/3T, in those days Kwaan Short and Lotulelei) and utilized edge guys who could set much like we do - LBs played more downhill w eyes in backfield a lot more but to be fair they had one of the best of all time in Kuechly and Davis in a similar role to Milano who was excellent and way underrated as an NFL player imo. Still saw a fair amount of deep Tampa2 drops from MLB slot -Norman in his prime was probably a better man guy than White but they'd mix his coverages up like they do here -Safeties played more vanilla w fewer rotations pre and post snap because they were playing guys like Tre Boston, back end of McDermott's Bills iteration is far superior which should be no surprise due to much better talent overall the defenses looked similar but certainly not the same

Correct higher ADOT will correlate w lower catch% (or comp% from QB perspective) however concerns re: Davis' limited route tree, overall physicality, and untimely drops in the #2 role are valid imo

Allen averaged less than 1 rush attempt/game more w Dorsey, that's just noise imo

One time I forgot to do my chores my dad wrote an op ed in the local paper

Because everybody knows effective parenting is getting your point across to your kids through the media

This is the point I am trying to make, maybe I'm not making it well If McDermott wants to call a more aggressive defense then by definition Frazier was calling it inadequately

Sure Give him a POS oline and oh by the way you're going to be the majority of the run game too so basically the entire offense is on your back but you BETTER SLIDE give me a break w this

I tend to be optimistic too But I'm now leaning skeptical of McDermott and this does nothing to alleviate that

I wouldn't have minded promoting someone from inside and I wouldnt have minded him hiring on the open market. My preference has been that he continue focusing on head coach responsibilities.

You said it right here in the above lol Somehow McDermott allowed Frazier to run a defense he knew to be inadequate for 5 years. I'm not buying that sorry

So this whole time he actually wanted to be running a different defense? He should have said something😂😂😂we'd be swimming in SB trophies

You appear to have a lot more confidence in McDermott than I do, yet you're willing to admit that he left a guy who was calling his defense inadequately at the job for 5 years? That's a tough sell imo.

So Frazier, running McDermott's defense and being the perfect guy to call plays ultimately failed, yes? Washington in charge of DL has failed in your estimation. Now McDermott, despite being the architect of this entire operation, is suddenly putting his foot down and going to call the right plays that the guys before weren't?

I'd rather they hire a DC and let him call the defense

Focus on head coaching before you start trying to take DC responsibilities on as well This is not a good idea imo

Josh Allen>>>>>>>McNabb McDermott does less w more

Won't win a Super Bowl w McDermott

Big process guy unsure how much he has left
