BringBackFergy Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 McDermott always preaches how we need to play “complimentary football” and I agree...whether you are training your dog, teaching your kid how to catch a baseball, eating your wife’s “new recipe” dinner or building a football team, it’s 100 times better to compliment others than to yell at them or criticize them. Did you ever see McDermott on the sideline during a game or even at training camp? He’s always complimenting the players, clapping at them, saying “nice job” or “well done Nate/Josh/etc”. The old expression “You can catch a mouse with honey and not vinegar” rings true. If coaches compliment players, then players will compliment each other...it’s creates a positive environment. There’s no place for derogatory remarks in the NFL. Those coaches who are hard-***** rarely do well. Complimentary football all is superior to derogatory/critical football. Just my opinion. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Nice boundary pass Nate, you really found the open guy. But now we're going to try to do that pass to a guy with a buffalo on his helmet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transient Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) I thought the expression was “You can draw flies with honey, but if you really want to see a swarm trot Nate Peterman out on the field and let him poop his pants again.” Now if only you could catch more footballs with honey... or vinegar... or s***... the Bills could slather whichever worked best on Kelvin Benjamin before the game and at the half and he might actually function like a WR again. The honey might make it easier for the DB to stick to him, though. On the other hand, the s*** might help him get some separation from the DB, cuz, I mean, who’d want to cover Kelvin Benjamin when he’s covered in s***, right? I suspect s*** won’t help him catch balls, though. Everything about him has been s*** this season... his attitude, his effort, his understanding of the offense, and despite so much KB related s*** he can’t catch a cold, so I guess the evidence for covering him in s*** to help him catch balls is probably not there... I’d still like to do it though... you know, just to see... and because he deserves it. Edited October 21, 2018 by transient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 In a sport like football I’m thinking you need a healthy amount of both...or someone’s going to take your head off on the field!

atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 If you can be positive sending someone out the door, sure. Then stay positive. Sometimes you have to look someone in the eye and say ‘sorry it just didn’t work out’. I really hope McDermott has that conversation with Benjamin first thing tomorrow morning.

Just blend on it and it's free bagels for everyone. As far as complimentary football, it refers to players reading and reacting to the actions of one another in order to make plays. It's the type of nonsensical coach speak McDermott is famous for. But I like the OP's idea of the term better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Bong Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I prefer a player's coach myself personally, would take a Pete Carroll over John Harbaugh.. but the styles clearly can succeed equally. You just need to be a good coach at the end of the day, leadership is genuinely being yourself with a psycopathic passion for winning. Players respond to someone who wears his emotions on his sleeve, don't put on an act, and uh.. are smart X's and O's guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
