From 2017- https://www.google.com/amp/s/buffalowdown.com/2017/05/18/buffalo-bills-sean-mcdermott-leadership-council/amp/ Quote McDermott will be looking at a wide range of qualities when selecting the players that fit the build, but made it known that age won’t be the only thing considered. Here’s what he said in the beginning of April: “I think you look for a range of characteristics. Age is one of them. Experience – but that doesn’t just limit it to the older crowd, so to speak. You want representation from, really, the cross-section of the team and really guys that represent the whole team, not just certain parts of the team. I’ve been around it at the two different spots that I’ve been at – both Philadelphia and Carolina – I’ve seen it work well. … Anybody [can step up]. Leadership is a big part of this football team and having the right type of chemistry on the team. Every ship needs a rudder and so obviously I’m one of the leaders, and the player-driven leadership component of it is big. There needs to be leadership in that locker room and on the field, whether it’s practice or during the games. Young or old, it’s time to step up and lead.” Edited August 27, 2019 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"When he began to reshape the Buffalo Bills‘ coaching staff, he wanted coaches that embodied great leadership. When he started to rebuild the roster, he stayed consistent with the leadership quality. Personally, looking at the personnel from top to bottom, it’s hands down the best looking staff this team has had in a long time" Since that article was written, McD fired a chunk of that "best looking staff that embodied great leadership": Gill Byrd, Juan Castillo, Crossman, Terry Robiskie.
