Part of the reason those OLs looked good was because Fitz was pretty good at getting rid of the ball quickly. I'm sure speeding up the snap to throw time will be a big focus for Josh and the coaching staff this season.

That’s where it get tricky McDermott had it out with Daboll with rhythm passing drills along with Josh Allen last season.  It was during a media day where he lost it with Allen for receivers dropping balls and telling receivers who he thought were tight-ends to go into three point stances.  Along with wanting the offensive playbook slowed down.  End of the season going back to the quick scoring we had chances.  The slowed down approach of Sean wasn’t a good fit.

How do you know he is the bottom of the barrel? What do you base your statement on?

 

In reading numerous posts I'm not so certain Oscar was commenting on the hiring... there's a good chance he was just looking around and commenting on his surroundings before heading off to pee in Grover's Wheaties.

I like this move - was surprised to learn that the Colts released their O-Line coach Dave DeGuglielmo after the turn around for that unit.

 

Seems like a good move to grab his assistant.

 

BTW the Bills rushing yards from 2010-2011 was 3,641.

 

If nothing else this guy has been around some successful coaches who have turned around poor units and deserves a shot at the spot.

If the rumors are true of how he treated Denzelle Good, he's a pos!

 

 

....agree.....yet at the same time, I think McDermott is firm yet fair with players.....if a similar situation arose, I could see him stepping to the forefront compassionately and calling the shots.....

I hope all the people who wanted daily progress reports of the hiring process have calmed down now. They didn’t forget!!! 

I wonder if we'll hear about the WR coach soon since it kind of feels like they're getting everything done/announced at once.

You just need to look at his posting history to not be surprised by trolling .  

The worst part about the resident trolls here is that they aren't even good trolls. They're very in your face about it to the point it's obvious.

I actually didn't know there was a position of ASSISTANT OLine coach. 

 

 

I thought too they would go for Dave DeGuglielmo, and maybe they did try. How come the Colts let him go after such good results? Just because he's not one of the coach's hires? Wow.

Maybe they let him go because he wasn’t the brains of the operation.

There is indeed. There is an asst to every position coach. Kurt Anderson, who was the Asst OL coach here with Kromer (and interim OL coach when Kromer was suspended 6 games) just was named OL coach at Wisconsin. Big time.

Did Castillo had an assistant? He was never mentioned if he does exist.

Indy’s Offensive Line was arguably the best unit on that team and the most improved from the beginning to end. This means in my mind that he was an integral part of measurable growth and development. Something the Bills will desperately need in the next few years.

I like many others could only be guessing as to how this coach is going to impact the team. I could say that while I would have taken a well-known safe name who had high performing Olines throughout their history as coaches, I like the move getting someone who has been around winning programs yet never been the guy. People like that have a high chance of doing well if they actually learned from their predecessors. So we have our coach now let us get the right players in here. I remember in 2007 we went out and spent a ton of money on the Oline (Langston Walker, & Derrick Dockery) and it was supposed to be great, and that turned into a line that was very underwhelming. I still believe that the game is won in the trenches. Look at the playoffs so far, the teams that won all dominated at the line of scrimmage.

So he was during the Gaily regime....wonder if the hire means we will be running a similar offense, or at least blocking scheme.

Obviously he's familiar with the blocking techniques  of d'Alesandris.  Actually, I like that he has been an assistant under several different O-line coaches.  It may have given him exposure to a variety of blocking techniques he wouldn't have received just working un der one guy for 20 years.

Why, aside from the fact he's not a big name?

My biggest issue with this hire, is the TE coach for so long.  If all that experience was with the O line, I would be fine. 

 

I really think these hires tell us how other NFL personnel feel about McBeane's job security outside of Buffalo.

 

FA could get ugly.

Oh brother!
