Legendary head coach Bill Belichick was complimentary of Buffalo Bills sideline boss Sean McDermott's defense during a recent television appearance.
Bill Belichick made a habit out of defeating the Buffalo Bills throughout his decades-stretching tenure as an NFL head coach, constructing a 37-12 record against the team while at the helm of the division-rival New England Patriots for 24 years.
McDermott didn’t pick up his first win over Belichick until 2020, but he didn’t look back from that point forward, constructing a record of 7-2 against New England from the turn of the decade until the legendary coach’s departure from the Patriots after the 2023 season.
“There’s no way that we can predict what McDermott’s going to call, we just don’t know,” Belichick said. “They have a lot of variety in what they do. They’re going to do a great job of disguising with the linebackers, and the corners are going to move on and off the outside receivers. We’re just not going to know what it is until after the snap.”
We’d be remiss not to mention that Bills defensive coordinator Bobby Babich calls plays in Buffalo, but he came up under McDermott’s tutelage and very much runs a version of the head coach’s defense. Belichick summarized his thoughts with a later quote, again raving about the incalculability of McDermott’s scheme.“It’s just so hard to recognize this defense until after the snap,” Belichick said.
McDermott gets a lot of flak from the Buffalo faithful, often for good reason; that said, he’s undeniably a stellar defensive coach, so much so that one of the greatest defensive—and general—minds in the history of football dedicated an entire segment of a television show to glowing over his scheme.Why Bills’ Week 5 clash with Stefon Diggs, Texans is not a revenge game
