Recommended Posts

Great inside look into the mentality of the team and the process thats got the Bills playing as a cohesive unit. On a side note he described people as "human beings" multiple times and I think it's funny check it out it's awesome interview!!

I think that was a great interview. Was never really a big fan of him until today. I could hear the passion in in his voice talking about his influences during his first stint here.  But, I thought what he had to say about Duke Williams was interesting and cool.

Like I said I like the guy I just thought him saying "human beings" 5 times was a bit odd, other than that it was a great interview and I guess that made it a bit more interesting lmao

I'd have some beers with him.

If you did you'd be a great "human being"

I do enjoy how he describes this team being close as being a bunch of guys you'd want on your side in a bar fight.?

I see that wolf pack mentality on this team, these guys go to war together on sundays it's great to watch!!

Billsblue... I'm not somebody with an ego thats going to pound you into the ground. Its just my opinion. I have love for everybody. I will say I watched the video several times. Lee Smith is a different guy but I think hes pretty cool. I enjoyed what he had to say about Duke.

All in all it was an awesome video great insight into the teams mentality and their brotherhood, I just found a little hidden entertainment in the "human being" description of his teammates is all and even Tasker seemed puzzled on the last time he said it was all, I'm glad he's on the team he's that gritty blocking tight end who can make a big catch when need be ?

Very impressive. I think we see now why the Bills signed him. He is a true professional that will mentor and invest in the younger guys around him. A family man that is not afraid to speak of his values. And if I got in a bar fight, I'd choose him for my side.

I got to talk to Lee for about 15 minutes at Bills training camp a few years ago (Marrone's first year as coach) and he impressed me then as a genuine, down to earth guy who loves to play footfall and loves his teammates.  I love the influence he seems to have on a young TE group and I think he's a great blocker in the run game, but watching him play sometimes drives me crazy.  Between the pre-snap penalties, the holding calls and all the pushing and shoving he does after the whistle (for which he is going to get called one of these days), he really needs to clean up his game.   All in all, glad he's a Bill this year!

This is the type of veteran you want around rookies like Knox, Sweeney, Oliver, even guys like duke and josh. These young guys have no clue what an nfl locker room is like and to instill this type of brotherhood mentality in an nfl locker room where egos are HUGE is important. I give McDermott and beane a lot of credit for bringing in guys like this

Iisten I love that the guy caught a TD and have nothing against him but watch this Bills Live episode. He says "Human beings" way too often lmao it's odd. It's worth a watch it made me laugh just figured I'd share....

 

I love the video.  Great find, OP.  (Agree with Chandler and Rob's House that the title needs fixin'.  It's not about Lee Smith weird, it's just a great interview)

 

He seems like a great addition to the team - solid pro dedicated to mentoring the young guy.  LOL when he said Knox and Sweeney are great guys: "That's important, I don't want Turds hanging out at my house getting to know my daughters".  He needs to dial back the penalties, but he acknowledged that.

 

He refers to Allen as a "big, strong, competitive man that refuses to get tackled".  He also referenced the "person that he is".  To refer to teammates, he used "dude" and "guy" a lot. 

 

I think at times, he used "human beings" as a PG-euphemism for what he likely actually calls them in the locker room - as when he was talking about Allen not "running head first into other human beings".    Other than a few instances like that, I didn't hear what you're hearing.
