Senior Bowl: Doug Whaley and the scouting staff are in Mobile Alabama for the Senior Bowl as practices got underway yesterday. Sean McDermott and his partial coaching staff remain at One Bills Drive. McDermott is concentrating on finishing his staff and coming up with an offseason plan while beginning evaluating the current roster. He will watch videos of the practices. Doug Whaley spoke to the media yesterday and said he doesn't think the injury to Tyrod Taylor will effect the decision that the team needs to make on him. They feel he will be healthy enough to pass his physical. Whaley said when he gets back to Buffalo he will evaluate the current roster with the coaches and a determination will be made on Taylor's contract at that time.
Coaching Staff Update: Sean McDermott continues to fill out his Coaching Staff and there are rumors of two possible offensive coaching hires. Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports former Eagles WR Chad Hall has been hired as an offensive assistant by McDermott. He would be the first coach without extensive experience. In fact, he has no experience as a coach. He is 30 years old and was on the Jaguars practice squad two years ago. He played for Philadelphia when McDermott was there. Footballscoop.com reports the Bills are targeting former Titans DB coach Steve Brown as their new defensive backs coach. He has 22 years experience at the college and pro levels. He was with Tennessee since 2012 and coached with the Rams from 1995 to 2000. He also coached with University of Kentucky.
