Royale with Cheese Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 What if McDermott reads this thread and then withholds the information longer now? We won't know who the starter is until 12:59 on kickoff Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninSB Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 If he doesn’t know, he doesn’t know. I wish he would pick a starter soon though. Running out of time to figure out who’s number one and get that guy ready for the season. Nate or Josh need the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo03 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Look at Belicheat, that guy gives out the least info of any coach in the league. He gets asked about injured players but instead just says "I'm focused on this week". McDermott is basically doing the same thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 It sucks and SM seems like kinda of a boring game. But I don’t know how you criticize him for this. Obviously it would be nice to have a coach who shows personality and has funny press conferences. But the less you say as a coach, the better. Belichick just mumbles a bunch of nonsense.

Estro Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) I did notice he was super pissed off at Sal Capaccios question on if they'll do an injury settlement with the injured punter. He told him not gonna answer that....next question. Then gave him a state and a disgusted nod for even asking the question. Thought it was pretty harsh. He definitely has a disdain for the media to some degree IMO He also always pressed reporters if they ask stupid questions that don't really seem like questions at all. Case in point....Vic Carucci's long winded question about Kulyle Williams age and ability to recover. It was a dumb question that made little sense and McDermott kind of let him know it was pretty stupid. Edited August 20, 2018 by Estro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not annoying. Smart. I don't agree with the OP, but shouldn't we want them to gameplan for whoever we start? It's preseason, I'd rather get a clear evaluation of a QB against a defense that gameplans for that specific QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Apart from all the funny remarks, with which I agree, let me add something at least a tad serious: We've been watching and listening to McDermott for a year and a half, and we read a lot about him when he came. One thing we read and we've now seen is that this guy is WAY into the details. There isn't a detail he hasn't thought of. If he's not announcing his starter, it's because he has a reason. He isn't doing it to build suspense, to tease us, or to keep us listening. He has a reason. Maybe it's the Ravens. Maybe he hasn't made up his mind yet. Maybe he likes his QBs not knowing. Maybe, as someone said, there's no reason to do it now, so he's waiting. He's doing what he's doing because it's all part of his process, and I'm fine with letting this coach, any coach, run with his process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
