Oh, and excuse me gentlemen, I have to go buy tickets for my wife to see Kristen Chenoweth, one of her favorites, playing with the BPO the following weekend. That's after we go to that place where we throw axes at targets, and then do curling downtown, but before we have fat stacks of steaks at Russell's, one of the top rated restaurants in the country. While I'm at it I better pick up something pretty for her at Lululemon's at the mall. Maybe something she can wear while we are at Niagara-on-the-Lake catching a show at the Shaw Festival, or watching Shakespeare in the park at Delaware, or water skiing on Lake Erie or riding Superman at Darien Lake... ...or eating tacos at Mighty.

Chandler#81 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Outstanding press conference. Easily his longest ever and pretty insightful. He’s growing well, into his Head Coaching career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMFB was awaiting this photo because McDermott wore the exact same blue green plaid shirt under that blue jacket in his first two NFLHC group photos.

He's a guy who KNOWS that he is doing it right. Very interesting. Now let's see if we can win some games! Been there, done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have a lot of confidence in these guys now. They'll win games, if not this season, definitely next. They are absolutely determined and focused on what they are doing. Their level of determination is through the roof. They're climbing Mount Everest, and nothing is going to stop them. One thing I found very interesting that gives us a sense of how dedicated they are. You know McDermott was a wrestler. He loves wrestling. I guess Penn State has a great wrestling program, and he took a day off to watch Penn State practice to try to figure out how they achieve and maintain excellence. The guy is absolutely driven to succeed. I think the winning starts this season. It's clear from the McD and Beane interviews that they were pissed off about the offense last season and that they are NOT going to let that happen again. Every guy on the offense, including the new comers, have already gotten that message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 My major takeaway watching that interview is expect us to draft a TE in the 1st or 2nd round of the draft. McDermott talked glowingly about the importance of TE to a young QB unprompted for awhile and you could tell that he has such an unbelievably high level of respect for Gronk as a TE that he even refuses to believe he's retired. Hockenson or Fant will be on our team in 2019. That's my takeaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don’t want to take a TE in the 1st but I definitely agree that they prioritize the position of TE, if you look at Carolina when they were there the passing offense went through Greg Olsen. They didn’t have a #1 WR. I’ve also noticed that McDermott seems to put a lot of effort into stopping the other team’s TE, often successfully. He really zeroes in on that so he must really respect offenses that use the TE. Then you have Daboll as OC, a former TE coach who coached Gronk. So I could see them taking one with one of the top 2 picks but hoping it’s 2Nd round. Edited March 27, 2019 by YoloinOhio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Oliver at #9, then trade back into the first to get Hockenson or Fant if T.J. is gone. I don't think they're going to just wait and see who is there at #40.

The Rams and Saints do it without a huge emphasis on the tight end position, so there's more than one way to skin a cat. Agree that Daboll would love a top flight tight end, but I won't be super upset if we don't find one. You do however, make a good case with Carolina considering our QB has a similar style to Newton. Beasley is a nice weapon underneath if the draft doesn't fall our way re; tight ends. Edited March 27, 2019 by LSHMEAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every guy on the offense, including the new comers, have already gotten that message. If it takes you 4 years to build a roster to win, you are most definitely NOT the right people for the job. most player's contracts will not last up to 4 years and it will be a rebuild all over again. 4 years should be enough time to become Super Bowl contenders. I respect your opinion above a lot on this board but I really hate the "next year I promise" attitude. Its 2019 and teams are winning/contending for Super Bowl's two years after a coaching change. Enough with if not next year. No, this year they must win AT LEAST 9 games or its an absolute and utter failure. I don't understand the "pissed off" about offense part. They neglected that side of the ball both in FA and draft, started the worst QB of all time week 1, and it was pretty damn obvious they were going to be awful. They have to look in the mirror and be pissed off at the two guys that allowed that to happen. We fielded, statistically, one of the worst units of all time in NFL history until they were saved by Josh Allen's heroics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
