Something along the lines of an injury settlement for Corey (Coleman) I'm guessing?

It was about an injury settlement for the punter they had in TC who tore his ACL. Not Corey Coleman.

You think the pegula told him to cut peterman or else and he is in a dark place about it? Lol

Didn't TB12 hang up on his weekly radio show not once, but twice? I remember once it was about his family and then his health whisperer Alex Guerrero--anyways, fail to see what the big deal is. If the questions asked are lacking in respect, professionalism or football substance, then I have zero issues with this (however, I don't have any idea what was actually asked or how).

HE always said alright thanks guys before banging on em

Gotcha.  Not exactly sure what the deal was with that question honestly.  Like why would he be sorry and why would he give him that look?

 

That's the reason I thought he was making the face since I thought it was a bout Coleman which would seem like a slap in the face kind of comment/question since he didn't work out.

Here is the link to McCoach getting salty with Sal:

 

https://www.buffalobills.com/video/sean-mcdermott-time-to-move-forward

 

It begins about the 52 second mark. 

 

1) Sal asked what appears to be a fairly standard question;

 

2) McCoach gave him a really dirty look;

 

3) Sal for some reason said that he is sorry;

 

4) McCoach said next question;

 

5) McCoach gave him another dirty look and shook his head while taking the next question.

 

McCoach does not like to be questioned and may be feeling that his seat is getting hot . . . or at least warming up . . . .

Looks like the last version of Shawn Michaels

the modern NFL is all about offense and having a great QB who can distribute the ball to playmakers...

 

this "great defense" will get lit up for 30+ vs NE on MNF, so what's the point?

 

Build a great offense that scores 30 a game, field a defense that can make the other team punt a few times and maybe get a turnover and you're going to win 11+ games.

 

Build a great defense and field an offense that can barely string together 2 first downs and you're going to win 5 games

There's name for what you are describing - the process.  Spring 2019 brings the young offense.  Prove me wrong. . .

Let's talk about the offensive guys they have brought in since McDermott was hired. We all know McD was pulling the strings in Whaley's last draft. No one was picked in 2016 without his blessing.

 

He was with the Panthers in '16 and the organization went public when they announced the '17 draft was a product of Whaley and his scouting staff.Just a FYI...scouting starts in the spring and lots and lots of travel and film are involved.

Which "organization" are you referring to?  The Bills or WGR-550?  Are you suggesting that McD called WGR and told them to get Schopp off the air?

 

I listend to the remainder of Hour 3 and indeed, Schopp never came back on air.

 

The kid who posts recorded content on the website seems to have screwed up Hour 4, as he often does.  The audio file won't load up properly, so I can't listen to it.

 

Did you happen to listen to Hour 4 live?  I am dying to know if Schopp came back, on-air, in the 4th hour at all.

 

I hope they address all this in their show tomorrow, but I fear they may not.

 

 

 

 

Schopp came back at beginning of hour 4 but made no mention of what happened (Bulldog either)

 

I don’t think McDermott would call back... some underlying would. But I’m not saying I think this happened, just speculation as to a possible explanation.

I just listened and all heard was a guy who sounded like he just lost a heartbreaker of a game and his starting QB to injury, and was being forced to talk to a know-nothing prick of a talk show host. 

 

The clip I heard cut off right after they said thanks, so didn’t hear him hang up, but thought he was polite albeit sounded like he needed a beer and a nap. 

I posted the link to hour 3.  You can listen to the whole thing if you want.

 

Your take isn't really accurate.

Thanks for this.

 

They have Hour 4 up now and I'm listening.

 

Schopp was indeed back.  He actually said to Bulldog: "So, where were we?" and Bulldog just laughed.

That was as much as they mentioned about him missing a half hour or so of on-air time.

 

They won't talk about this again I don't think.  Would love for a caller to ask them, as that would force them to say something, even if just "don't want to comment."

 

I think Schopp had it out with McDermott during the break, it got into a heated argument, and then Schopp didn't feel it approrpriate to end the conversation to go back to the show, so he continued the phone call and missed on-air time.   I don't know.  I think Schopp would have personal contact info. for McD.

Schopp tried to ask him if they were talking to Derek Anderson earlier in the spring, and McDermott gave a vague answer, similar to the one anderson gave last week when asked the same question. He specifically said there was a lot going on at that time that he didn’t want to get into. Schopp asked McD to elaborate and McD just kind of paused and Schopp dismissively said “fine I guess you just don’t want to say. Fine.”

 

im shocked that the head coach doesn’t want to broadcast the inner workings of their FA dealings on the piece of crap schopp and Bulldog radio show.  And schopp acted offended

If you didn't hear the very end, you missed almost everything that is important.

 

PS: Schopp didn't act offended at that point of the interview as you suggest; he specifically said "Well maybe you don't want to address that" and he then politely moved on to the next issue.

 

I guess you've decide Schopp is an idiot and does everything wrong, so you are going to see things only one way, as opposed to how they might actually be.

 

That's nothing new around here!

Just a theory based on my daze working in radio... Because they take live calls, WGR likely broadcasts Scope and Bullfrog on a seven-second delay, which is standard in radio. In case anyone curses or whatever, they can hit the “dump” button to lose the seven seconds of naughty audio. 

 

Maybe something was said either by McDermott or Shoop that was inappropriate and so they had to dump out of the delay. When you do that, it often sounds like silence and awkwardness on the broadcast while everyone silently freaks out in the studio. 

 

I wasnt listening, but given the strange disappearance of Schoop after the break, it seems like SOMEthing went down.

No, I don't think that is what it was at all.

 

I know just what you are talking about.  McD just hung up without saying "bye" or anything else once Schopp effectively made it clear the interview was over by saying "All right Sean, thanks."

I didn't hear the interview so I can't say whether or not they were valid questions.  I'm sure Schoop probably phrased a few of them in a way to get under McD's skin since he likes to do that.

 

 

Their demeanor is completely different when they have Bills or Sabres people on.   If anything, the questions were softball versions of the pitchfork mob.   They had to ask what's going on with the offense and the QBs, since anyone with an IQ over 30 knows are the team's biggest problems. 

 

McDermott was very short with his answers, because I'm guessing he has an IQ over 30.

[Roundybout]

This seems like an overreaction 

[The Wiz]

Just curious, doesn't he go on the show (in studio)for this segment?

 

The audio is crystal clear when normally when they call in you get that typical crappy talking in a wind tunnel audio.

it is my opinion that schopp acted offended. That is why i write “what i heard was...” It is ok for different people to listen to an interaction and come away with different interpretations and post them in a thread about said interaction.

Ok cool I'll edit it to 2017 then. I was just typing as I was thinking and said mentally "two drafts ago, 2018 - 2 = 2016" instead of getting caught up on the finer details. The point remains. No one was drafted without McD on board.

[MJS]

I'm surprised all interviews with Schopp don't end up with him getting hung up on.

No but he has a direct ISDN line to the studio for the best audio.  All of the coaches have since Marrone.  He broadcasts from the studio in One Bills Drive

Gotcha.  Just seems like a weird comment that schoop made about "that silence is me and bulldog looking at each other" like he was there in person talking to them then interview ended.  Which kind of sounds rushed also.  Like as soon as McD finished answering the last question schoop was like "ok thanks coach".  

[MJS]

I'm really surprised that everyone is making a big deal out of Sean McDermott not saying goodbye at the end of an interview.

 

McDermott, like all people involved in football who actually know something about the sport, probably doesn't like Schopp. So he didn't like interviewing with him and didn't say goodbye.

 

Case closed!

[Straight Hucklebuck]

McDermott has some Doug Marrone in him. 

 

He's got that, I've been there, done that, seen it all, this is how you do it, earning the right to win everyday mentality. 

 

He's seen it all, he's thought of everything. 

 

But his team has been bashed in 3 out of 6 games, and the guy he picked as starting QB has thrown up on himself 4 of the 5 times he's seen the field (Chargers, Jaguars, Ravens, Texans).

Does no one understand that he might not have a choice? Allen might be injured and Anderson might not be ready to play. Peterman could be  his only available QB.

For once I would love to hear one of the coaches or who ever ask them what they would do in their situation and see what kind of crap they came up with.  Probably something as bad as some of the callers they get.

Doesn't have a choice?  Going into the season with one QB and Peterman on the roster is a choice.  Prepping for week 2 with one QB on the roster and Peterman is a choice.  Prepping for week 3 with one QB on the roster and Peterman is a choice.  Prepping for week 4 with one QB on the roster and Peterman is a choice.  Waiting until week 5 to sign a second QB to the roster was a choice.

That's assuming that they weren't trying to sign someone sooner after cutting AJM.

[YoloinOhio]

I’m actually surprised that the Bills have his weekly segment during this show, vs the One Bills Live. I don’t know how it is in most markets, but in Columbus Urban Meyer’s weekly segment is carefully orchestrated with homer hosts and pillow soft questions. It’s a call-in show but of course the calls are all screened and vetted. He would never go on the drive time show that criticizes him and the team non-stop - Ohio State would never ask him to. Then you have John Tortorella who has a cushy weekly segment called “Hockey and Hounds” where they talk about dogs. And sometimes the Blue Jackets. And the hosts are good buddies with him and fellow dog lovers and never criticize or ask a tough question.

 

im not saying that’s how it *should* be with every head coach but seems like teams want it that way, and I get it.
