I know of a couple that don’t trust him at all. Tyrod’s benching last year was Rico. McDermott actually apologized to the team about it. Are you talking about Whaley when you say you know a couple that don’t trust him? Interesting about the Rico thing. That is what I suspected all along.

ALLEN1QB Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I have no problem benching him to not risk injury. If I'm paying the check of a guy I'm going to cut anyway I would wrap him in bubble wrap and sit his ass on the bench 100%!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting about the Rico thing. That is what I suspected all along. No, not Whaley. It is a few players, some that are there and some that are gone. McDermott doesn’t have buy in from everyone. There are some guys that HATE him. 3 hours ago, aceman_16 said: Okay... I will bite. What proof do you have of this? You can choose to believe me or not. I really don’t care.

I think those that have been here a while will vouch that my information has always been credible. Huh. Interesting. I find that surprising when you hear guys like Kyle say that they always know where they stand with McD and he always shoots them straight. Seems like he usually plays the guys that earn it, too. But I definitely do believe you. I know you have good, legit sources. I’d love to hear more details sometime (if you ever wanted to pm me, I can keep a secret.... ? lol). You cant please everyone, I guess. I’m sure there are guys who hate Belichick (understandably so...lol) and same probably goes for every other coach around the NFL. I can’t imagine any are universally loved by every player. Ultimately, as long as they are good coaches and they win, that’s what matters most. Still, I have to wonder why they hate him? Personality? Coaching style? Shipping friends out of town? Edited September 8, 2018 by BillsFan4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of a couple that don’t trust him at all. Tyrod’s benching last year was Rico. McDermott actually apologized to the team about it. It's not surprising that all the players are not enamored with McDermott and his style of coaching. And it's not surprising that all head coaches have players on their teams who don't embrace what the coach is preaching. It's probable that Belicheck has a number of players on his roster who thinks that he is an insufferable tyrant. It really doesn't matter. What counts is how hard the players play for the team. Football is not only a brutal sport but it is a cutthroat business. Players come and go. And much of the player movement has less to do with talent as it does with salary. In that type of environment it's not surprising that a faction of the players recognize that the mantra of family and loyalty are hollow concepts where rosters turn over by more than 24% every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the constant refrain of 'process' and 'culture' coming out of OBD, if there were really guys in that locker room who hated McD they'd be out. I don't imagine him being the kind of HC who would tolerate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one that I have heard too doesn't get on with McDermott and doesn't get on with Frazier. Not sure it needs a brain surgeon to work out who and I am guessing he is on your list Kirbs. 1 minute ago, BringBackOrton said: Tell us the ones who are gone at least. I see no harm there. Darby. That one is obvious. Sammy and Marcell are pretty safe bets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Tyrod talking about 2016, really? You would think he was he would be focused on the season opener. He is on a team that won 1 out of the last 32, How many can he loose before they go with Mayfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 That benching had Whaley written all over it. Just so he could get one last look at his project QB EJ Manuel. Get one last look at all the progress he made in his 4 years. Sammy Watkins with a standard no impact Sammy day, 4 catches for 31 yards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dayman Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 He wasn't told the truth? He was owed guaranteed money if he got hurt and not if didn't...was Tyrod the only one in the world that didn't understand his contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those that have been here a while will vouch that my information has always been credible. Fair. I don't choose to believe the extent you are making it sound like. I am sure there are people that hate him (like those Tyrod lovers when he was benched) and hopefully they get weeded out. IF he was a tyrant (like you are implying) there is NO way (in my opinion) that Kyle Williams would stick his neck out for him. BTW, you can choose to believe me or not I don't care.... but I have a close contact in the Bills' organization and he is more than professional to not air dirty laundry (or any information of note for that matter) out. It keeps our relationship healthy when we don't talk about work. PS I have been here a while - don't let my new account join date fool ya.
