The new strength and conditioning guy has done a hell of a job.

Indeed... like he has his team meeting at McDonalds... then they take naps... rest is important.

I get it but sometimes out of the coach’s control.  Ex. Matt Milano gets hurt this year and comes back for a half and misses more games for the same injury.  

Just going on record ... he comes back this week or next, plays 2 quarters and is out for the next 4

The Bills added 5 new coaches:

Chris Tabor (special teams coordinator)

Ryan Nielsen (senior defensive assistant)

Mike Pellegrino (nickels coach)

Jason Rebrovich (assistant defensive line)

Turner West (assistant special teams)

 

Will Greenberg head strength and conditioning coach

Barry Rubin senior strength and conditioning assistant

 

At this point in the season, I don’t think there is any improvement on special teams, defense or S&C.
Not heard any kudos from McDermott or Babbich that there was any big contributions.

 

too bad, thought we might see some improvements from new blood.

As long as the 2 common denominators are here nothing will change

given injuries, the dline and special teams have played great.

 

the secondary is pure dirty cheeks.  the linebackers might be worse, save shaq.  honestly, if this team had an average YPC given up in the run game, with the same distribution of stuffs and explosive runs, we have at least 1 more win -- which tells me the biggest hole is LB and Safety.

 

on the other side of the ball, injuries to palmer and kinkaid suck, but i put the two losses on brady more than anyone else.  if we had shanahan level offensive coaching we'd be 6-0, brady w his head removed from his coccyx we'd be at least 5-1.

Yeah I often wonder what McD even brings to the table from an x's and o's standpoint? Like does he even help us scheme to an opponent's weakness? 

 

With Frazier you could notice certain wrinkles here and there, even if the overall scheme was the same. Past few seasons I don't even notice that- we just kinda line up and do our thing and hope the offense doesn't execute efficiently 🤷‍♂️

I think this is a good question overall about McD what does he actually bring to the table for the Bills? He doesn't make decisions on Offense, His defense is bad but supposedly handled by someone else, His in game decisions are usually poor. His pre game rah rah speeches sometimes contain questionable motivational content.  I guess he brings a stable environment and is a nice guy? Maybe a man of faith for the religious players on the team?

That whole lesson on how to give up 335 yards in one half of football really seemed to hit home!
