DrDawkinstein Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Real question: Coaches on the sideline celebrate and fist pump and jump around, and also yell and throw headsets and slam their playcards, and no one says anything and it all looks perfectly normal. How much does being trapped and contained in that small booth, with a camera right in his face, make this look "worse" than it truly is? Sideline coaches react big all the time. No one calls them not emotionally controlled enough to be a coach. I put "worse" in quotes because none of this is a big deal IMO, nor is he even getting any criticism for it outside of this board, and the players like it.

You've got a great point about coaches on the sidelines, and that it probably does look "bigger" in the contained environment of the booth vs on the sideline. I think you're not quite right and for young coordinators wanting to be hired as head coaches, it probably is still looked at carefully - like is this guy controlled enough, or is he going to lose it as a head coach enough to be thrown out of games or draw penalties on the team? whereas Bill Belicheck can break a Microsoft Surface or slam around a phone on occasion and NBD. But to be clear, I'm not criticizing Dorsey for it or at least that was not my intent, just sharing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastport bills Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Ken, just keep calling plays that focus on what the defense is giving us, with the emphasis on quick release passing and running to be multidimensional. If you do that, we’ll have success consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you have to do is only copy the portion of the tweet url that is before the "?", if on a desktop. So just copy the highlighted portion in the pic below. The stuff after the mouse pointer arrow omit (i.e., omit the stuff from the question mark on). Try it!!

Jerome007 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 This reaction was so mild and "normal" I don't get it. Yes, last year it was funny. This one? Meh BTW, this last game was his best game plan as OC. And one of the best we've seen in years. He can smash all the laptops he wants if he keeps doing that! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 He did look a little strange. Couldn't quite tell if he was happy or mad. My other question was what happened to the guy who use to be sitting next to him with the somewhat longer scraggly hair and beard? Did Dorsey scare him off? He refused to sit next to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it on Firefox just now too, and your method works there as well. Probably Chrome too, since it is from the same platform as Edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're speaking of Ryan Wendell, who was our assistant offensive line coach in 2022 (promoted from offensive assistant in 2020) The Rams hired him as their offensive OL coach this season, and he was replaced by Austin Gund Pretty fast rise for Wendell, but he played center and guard for the Patriots 2008-2015 under the legendary Coach Scar, so he might know something.

Beck Water Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 7 hours ago, Fan in Chicago said: The OP titled the thread that Dorsey is being "posterized" which implies it is not being made out to be a non-issue. This culture of micro observations, wide distribution and then the mocking by many people is not good. To be honest, I don't watch enough football shows to know how widely it's being distributed and whether it's being smiled at or mocked. I swing through "X" and Instagram only to collect Bills content to bring back. I tend to agree with you about the impact of wide distribution of little moments (which can be pulled out of context), but nothing I can do about that. 7 hours ago, Fan in Chicago said: It is only a reputation because the video of a single incident was widely distributed . If it is recurrent behavior, then I would agree with the analogy but given the singular nature of the evidence, it's not fair to make it his reputation That's a beautiful sentiment, but long before the advent of social media, we had village pubs and village gossips. It literally only took one incident to make or break a reputation then, and it literally only takes one now. Actually I think the world's attention span is much shorter so incidents fade from view faster now than before. But returning to the topic, if Dorsey wants a HC gig, it's not the world's attention span that matters, it's decision makers hiring for the handful of available jobs. And it may not be fair if that incident does linger with them but lots of things aren't fair. Though winning cures everything, so if the Bills win a Championship carried by a strong offense, All will be Well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhit34 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Back a bunch of years ago, many wanted the Bills to hire Cowher as HC because of his fiery temperament. Others get on McDermott for clapping (cheerleading?) too much. Now this? Much ado about nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
