Leadership without Lorenzo

Lorenzo Alexander has retired. But don’t look for the Bills to look for the “next man up” anywhere but their own locker room. Calling Allen and Edmunds.

Throughout his press conference, McDermott cited a huge desire to improve but also to keep his core together. It’s not always easy to do that, as he mentioned, but it’s a vital thing, per McDermott.

 

“On of the things that happened when we came off the Super Bowl in Carolina was, lessons that we learned… we let too many of the leaders out of the building. Some of that happens with retirement and other reasons that come with age. But overall, that’s part of what I meant with keeping as much of this team in-tact as possible. Each year and each team is different, but you give yourself a better chance with the more that you keep a team in-tact.”
