Right now it's obviously Cook. Not even close.

 

That will likely change when the season starts. Probably Kincaid or Bishop.

 

Then the usual shift to McD after another of his playoff performances.

 

To the bolded, you should look at the poll results.

I have Marv Levy's proxy vote, and he would like to nominate Gugny.

Other:

 

Fans like me who really believe the team is top shelf, but our defensive scheme’s inability to make the correct adjustments is holding us back, 

 

I am and have been a fan of Sean McDermott since year one, he and Beane dragged this team out of being completely irrelevant to a constant contender, many here don’t fully appreciate the effort and heart it took to do that.

 

GO BILLS!!!

To me he's got 6-8 weeks to show what he's got. If it's still the same issues as last year, got to move on and go to Nielsen

Nielsen? The singer from the sixties? I thought he was dead.

Ryan Nielsen. The Bills assistant defensive coach

It was a joke. Nielsen track record isn’t exactly impressive.

But McDermott, one of the most successful coaches in the NFL, is the perpetual whipping boy, of course.

Yup, this right here, 👍

[H2o]

I went with McDermott. Always a safe bet. Still, if Cook comes back and is lackluster then fire up the TBD bus. 

[Walking Tall]

Cole Spector is on my radar.

Yeeah, I saw the results, the poll is not accurate if we're talking right now. That's why I asked what time frame we're talking.

Ah ok, sorry. Wasn't sure if you were joking or not as I'm sure some people don't know who Ryan Nielsen is.

 

But ya that's fair, he hasn't had a great track record.

 

Need to try something different though if Bills defence continue to rank bottom 5 on 3rd downs IMO

Cook.  Is there anyone else people here love to hate more than Cook?

Yeah. Damar Hamlin.

People will hate on Hamlin for simply making the team. 

That’s what I was thinking.   Without Hamlin in the poll this thread is null and void.

Babich probably pretty pleased about that.

It will always be McDermott until he wins it all or gets fired period

[Bad Things]

All of the above?

 

I hate to say it, but I have a bad feeling it'll be Tre' Day for his lack of tackling skills/injuries.

[TFBillsfan]

As #1 draft picks, Kincaid and Coleman will need to show progress or the noise will only grow louder around them. Same with Bishop. At some point, your top picks have to make an impact.

I've been pretty down on Jackson since yesterday. Here's why.

 

After a very quiet camp we saw in real time why we didn't hear much about him. He played weak. Slow. Couldn't get off blocks, guy escorted upfield and past the QB on rushes easily. Was shoved to the ground a few times. He completely lost contain on Winston's long scramble. All I all a horrible performance on the heels of a disappointingly quiet camp. And even in all that it would be somewhat understandable against a starting level OT. He played against the Giants 2nd and 3rd string RT. 

 

At this point he is far below AJE in my opinion. Most likely a game day inactive. He needs to get stronger and work on his technique. He's very raw. 

 

Does this mean this is who he will always be? Of course not, no. But I think he has a long way to go to even be considered serviceable. I'm rooting for him.
