YoloinOhio Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) https://buffalonews.com/2019/03/13/sean-mcdermott-weighs-in-on-the-bills-new-additions/ included some of the quotes as excerpts Quote I think it's obvious that we've been trying to build our offense,” coach Sean McDermott told The Buffalo News after a sponsor event at Highgate Heights Elementary School on Wednesday. “Look, we have good pieces in our locker room. Let's not forget that. That’s A. B is, how can we improve our football team by going out there and trying to add guys with our DNA – in this case veteran players that have experience? We're going to add them to what we already have and continue to try and put a team together for this season.” While the Bills have had an impressive haul thus far in free agency, one potential big fish got away when the team explored a trade with Pittsburgh for wide receiver Antonio Brown, but the deal never came to be. “You always look. It doesn't mean we pull the trigger,” McDermott said. “Somewhere in the process of looking, whether it's early or late in the process, when you come across things that tell you it's not going to work out for one reason or another, then you go on to the next one. But for us not to look would be, at times, ignorant. You hear things, but let's do our due diligence and our research and make sure. At the end of the day, you see the end result of that due diligence.” It was noteworthy that the Bills were in the running for Brown on two different fronts. No. 1, it shows that General Manager Brandon Beane is unafraid to pursue the bold move, and No. 2, the team will not always shy away from players with “character” concerns, of which there are many with Brown. “We have a lot of respect for him as a player. He's tough to go against,” McDermott said. “That's what leads you initially on the path to try and find out more about him. Going against him, I know how hard he is to defend. You watch him on TV – I watch him like you do, like the fans do – he's entertaining and fun to watch. That's what leads you down that path for a player with that type of name recognition.” Edited March 13, 2019 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt, he will be ready for OTAs and the regular season. He just has to go through the process. Edited March 13, 2019 by Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's fine, because he works hard and if he plays well the team does well. RB's can be selfish (unless they want to sit out an entire year).

The Senator Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 This board can be so enlightening and entertaining. Most folks have so much wit and wisdom, I nearly fall off my chair. My take on the AB situation is so different - I don’t think Beane persued him at all. My take is that Colbert, desperate to unload AB and knowing we needed a WR, made a call to Brandon. JMO .

VW82 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 One thing that continues to impress me about McD is type of person he goes after. He often refers to it as Bills DNA. He'll take a driven individual who works his tail off but also knows when to sacrifice over a talented guy who coasts, and he doesn't think twice about it. You can call it high character if you want, but he appears to be building an actual team where the pieces fit together and everything makes sense. Even the RB situation, which seems odd because they're all well past their primes, helps offset some of the inexperience with Josh. I have no doubt we'll whiff on some of these guys because football is hard, but this is the most confidence I've had in a Bills coach/gm situation since the golden era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
