The Buffalo Bills have finished their recent “minicamp.” Well, actual minicamps were cancelled by the NFL this offseason due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. But the league still held weeks of “virtual”meetings over video chats.
The Bills just wrapped those up and following that, Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott wrapped up his media availability for this summer as he virtually chatted with members of the western New York media on Wednesday.
Here are 11 takeaways from McDermott’s final pre-summer press conference:
Virtual reflections
McDermott would’ve loved to be seeing his players in-person during minicamps, as would any coach. In fact, we’d all love to not have to change our lives due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Alas, we have. But McDermott gave his evaluation on how his team’s “virtual” offseason has gone. The coach thought things went well.
Here’s what McDermott had to say:
“To sit here now, if you would have asked me, ‘Would we be able to get this done?’ Back, four five months ago, to execute what we’ve been able to execute, and at the level we’ve been able to execute it at, I would have said that’s going to be a very heavy lift, and it has been. That said, it’s just been incredible to watch our team come together, not just our players, but the staff, the support that we get from our IT department, everyone in our building has had to do things, to make what used to be easy, become reality.”
