ExiledInIllinois Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 McD is a disciplinarian... Why he probably sours on some. Yet, he knows how to handle it with humor. Of course it's always easier when it's gonna be "VictoryFriday!" AND of course, Josh knows how to tack around the tension. With some of the comments in this thread, I assume the lockerroom is no different, some not feeling the love. BUT McD has to pump up Allen more considering the Vikings game results fluke... It just comes natural Josh's leadership. JA17: "[hushed undertone]: Hey hey, I know what you're doing here. [more boisterous]: I THINK we have a VictoryFriday coming up!!! [points to McD in submission]" McD: "Hey, I make that call. Yeah you got it boy [LOUD APPLAUSE]! NICE! "Buffalo became the third NFL team to play two games in five or fewer days on the road in the same stadium, and the first to win both." "Allen had a passing and rushing touchdown in the first half, finishing 24 of 42 for 253 yards to more than make up for throwing his 11th interception of the season. He has accounted for 162 touchdowns, trailing only Hall of Famer Dan Marino's total of 171 for the most by an NFL player in his first five seasons."

He can get onboard like it or not. Since when should the newbs call the shots. Of course they need love to. But, let's not get too cerebral here with a lockerroom speech. The game still needs structure and hierarchy to be successful... And the rooks need to stay humble. 2 hours ago, I am the egg man said: Coach speak has gone downhill since Rockne's "lets win one for the gipper". Quick!

Donuts and Doritos Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 That's great for the locker room & the team. 2 wins in 5 days on the road isn't easy. I get they're weathering adversity & injuries. But the coaching & execution has to improve a lot, quickly (especially on offense). Right now they don't look like a team that gets passed their 1st round wild card game & no speech is fixing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing comes easy, we know where we want to be, stay humble and hungry” You’re missing the essence of it by focusing on the words rather than the emotion. In a text or any transcript it would sound pedestrian, but McDermott sounded like a man who had just been through battle, his voice cracking. The normally subdued McDermott was struggling to hold back tears of joy and relief following a week of physical and emotional rollercoasters. What shame for anyone not able to feel that moment. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much better would this team be w Creed Humphrey? A LOT. Beane has done a lot of good, but drafting isn’t his best suite. That’s not a fair assessment. Beane is a pretty good drafter, he just has blind spots, as does everyone. He hit on Rousseau, who looks better, with more potential, than other guys in the mid-late RD1 (Oweh and Phillips) Epenesa, I can’t really kill him for. The guy was the projected top pick entering his last college year. He didn’t have the season he wanted, but was still regarded as sliding when we took him. It was worth a shot, given his ability and our need to bring in a pass rusher with no RD1 pick. Epenesa, at least, flashes sometimes. Basham, I don’t get. I saw him at college. He was ok. Seemed destined to be a rotational DE. Furthermore, we had a deal in place to trade back unless Basham was there… ok. Reminds me of how high they were on Cody Ford… like they just secured an All-Pro. What I do think Beane needs to do religiously … mid-round WR and late-round DB every year. Davis was a hit for a 4th rounder. We’ll see what Shakir becomes. While not studs… Jackson, Hamlin, Benford etc are all fringe starters, good depth… Hamlin/Benford potentially more. Let someone else draft Day 2 pass rushers from now on … Edited November 25, 2022 by SCBills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First you ignore the multitude of injuries on defense. Second, you ignore the loss of Crowder. Third, Allen is not 100%. Fourth, the ripple effect on the line is huge. Van Roten is not a real guard. Van Roten instead of Bates plainly adversely impacts Brown's play. Quesseberry at LT is basically a joke. Bates at center is no Morse. Our OL is OK when healthy, but it sucks with the injuries. Very hard to have a great O with no line. And still they put up 26 points. People may think injuries are "no excuse" but if you don't think it impacts performance you are a fool. Let's see where we are in January. But the clip is awesome!!! Edited November 25, 2022 by Casey D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
