Emily LeikerHOST
It's like, is this offense what we thought it was going to be? Is this sustainable? So these are almost like inverse situations to a degree, which makes this game interesting.
Emily LeikerHOST
Joe Brady was promoted from offensive coordinator head coach this offseason after Sean McDermott was let go.
Emily LeikerHOST
What was the reception to Brady as a head coach upon his hiring and how has it changed with seven games now under his belt?
Katherine FitzgeraldGUEST
It's been interesting.
Katherine FitzgeraldGUEST
I think Bill's fans were a little mixed thinking it was what was going to happen, but not necessarily being excited about it.
Katherine FitzgeraldGUEST
I think there was some push for what can he do with Josh Allen? Just can he further unlock a guy that he's been a quarterback's coach and offensive coordinator, now a head coach and just continue that relationship with um but again the defense is a big question just kind of they brought in Jim Leonard as defensive coordinator it's his first time as a DC in the NFL um and the big question kind of was what is Brady going to do with his coaching staff and also what all does this mean for the Bills keeping Brandon Bean as GM while letting go of Sean McDermott as head coach and how does that influence the franchise moving forward
Emily LeikerHOST
Am I correct that Josh Allen advocated for Joe Brady a little bit, right? Or he was at least amenable to Brady's hiring?
Katherine FitzgeraldGUEST
Yeah, he was in on the interviews.
Chris LongHOST
And if you don't know any better, watching the first two possessions, you'd think Chicago's defense is more physical, which is, I mean, it's wild.
Chris LongHOST
Shout out to Cam Lewis, one of my favorite Sean McDermott soldiers, and then obviously the Jeffrey Simmons thing.
Chris LongHOST
Seattle, not as good as they looked last week, not as bad as they looked last night.
Chris LongHOST
Okay, they're a 4-4 team.
Josh MoserGUEST
Field is a problem.
Michael LevaHOST
And then with all those weapons, they go out there and get a Mike Tomlin or Sean McDermott.
Michael LevaHOST
They get like a real head coach and they bring in Lamar with all those weapons and those pictures.
Michael LevaHOST
Yeah.
speaker_6AUDIENCE
Very similar rosters, but totally different results.
speaker_6AUDIENCE
Another thing, I just don't get why you keep beating the drums for Sean McDermott.
speaker_6AUDIENCE
Jets can draft a young quarterback.
speaker_6AUDIENCE
They need to get a good offensive mind.
John JastremskiHOST
They need a program built.
John JastremskiHOST
They don't have a program.
John JastremskiHOST
I know Sean McDermott can build a program.
John JastremskiHOST
I witnessed it before Josh Allen even walked into the building.
Errol MarksHOST
Well, here's the thing.
Errol MarksHOST
If it is Sean McDermott, if it is Sean McDermott, I could see Mika Fitzpatrick coming back.
Quinton CoplesHOST
And DeMario.
Errol MarksHOST
And DeMario Davis.
Errol MarksHOST
Because Sean McDermott, if there's anybody that can fix this, it's him.
Errol MarksHOST
He is a defensive mind.
Errol MarksHOST
He has fixed older players.
Errol MarksHOST
When he was over there in Carolina and he was calling the defensive plate calling, remember when Cam Newton was there? Who was the defensive coordinator over there? Sean McDermott.
Josh McCartyHOST
And that's just part of the process, right? The process of learning how to become a head coach.
Josh McCartyHOST
You can't replicate the, what is it? Eight years of experience Sean McDermott had.
Josh McCartyHOST
So that's something that Joe Brady is going to just have to learn on the job with a team with championship aspirations.
Josh McCartyHOST
He didn't get the two-year runway.

Josh McCartyHOST
James Davis with a good one here.
Josh McCartyHOST
Maybe this will be the last one we go to.
Josh McCartyHOST
Sean McDermott routinely coached the Bills into shitty performances, whether we either lost inexplicably to an inferior opponent or in the biggest moments with heartbreaking defeats.
Josh McCartyHOST
Joe Brady has managed to coach us into some absolutely boneheaded situations, but with the exception of the Patriots game, this team has managed to come out of all of them alive.
Tyson RauchHOST
Now he's going to make, what, $15 million next year with the fifth year option.
Tyson RauchHOST
Do you try to trade a guy like that? Or do you say, hey, you know what? If we give Will McDonald Brian Flores or Sean McDermott, he'll be a much better player.
Tyson RauchHOST
Like, do we even know what Will McDonald really is after dealing with Steve Wilkes and Aaron Glenn? Do we even know what kind of player he is?
BubbsGUEST
Yeah, that's the tough part is a lot of these guys you look at and say how much worse they've gotten.
BubbsGUEST
If the next head coach loves Braylon Allen and says, you know what, we don't want Brees, you can move him in the offseason.
BubbsGUEST
I could certainly see that being the case.
BubbsGUEST
where you wait and see, and then a Sean McDermott comes in here and says, I want Braylon Al as my lead back.
BubbsGUEST
I trust Isaiah Davis or maybe some other free agent or another trade that they can make as their number two.
Drew GierHOST
Yeah.
Drew GierHOST
I feel like Sean McDermott was willing to put Joe Brady in a position where he had to use Jackson Hawes.
Drew GierHOST
And I think now Joe Brady is kind of putting Jackson Hawes back, back to like, Hey, you're a blocker.
Drew GierHOST
Go be a blocker.
29 MINS LATER
Drew GierHOST
which tells me he's giving someone a pat on the back while also taking their job and being like, I know he's a good soldier.
Drew GierHOST
So he'll understand this isn't an indictment on him.
Drew GierHOST
It reminds me of the time that Sean McDermott took the clipboard away from Leslie Frazier during the chargers game.
Drew GierHOST
I think it was our home opener back in like 2018.
Anthony ProhaskaHOST
I said it for years with Hamlin.
Anthony ProhaskaHOST
He's the kind of the perfect Sean McDermott guy.
Anthony ProhaskaHOST
That's why he stayed around so long.
Anthony ProhaskaHOST
He was one of those guys where he's not making the splash play.
Todd ArcherGUEST
it's a legitimate question to ask.
Todd ArcherGUEST
Like, are they going to bring in some other offensive, young offensive guru type guy and maybe, and be filled with maybes? Are they going to go and get a retread dude like a Sean McDermott? Like, and I know everybody, Mike Tomlin, remind me of all the playoff wins.
Todd ArcherGUEST
I realize Steelers got to the playoffs, but show me all the playoff wins he had in his last five, whatever years in Pittsburgh.
Todd ArcherGUEST
Um, So you're kind of stuck in this deal of Neverland.
