In Buffalo, the Bills are gearing up for the upcoming football season with some changes in their coaching staff. Head coach Sean McDermott has announced that defensive coordinator Bobby Babich will now be the one calling the team’s defensive plays.
McDermott had previously held that responsibility but left it open after promoting Babich earlier this year. With the season opener just around the corner, McDermott felt it was time to solidify this decision.
Speaking to Ryan O’Halloran of the Buffalo News, McDermott praised Babich’s experience and wisdom, saying, “What I like about Bobby is our experience together and the wisdom he has, both as a secondary coach and a linebacker coach. I just feel like he’s a growth-minded individual and coach, and that’s the right approach.”
With the departure of key players from last season’s division championship team, the Bills are looking to Babich and their revamped roster to continue their success. The upcoming matchup against the Cardinals in Week One will be the first test for this new defensive play-calling arrangement.
Fans will be eagerly waiting to see how Babich’s leadership on the defensive side of the ball will impact the team’s performance on the field. As the Bills aim for another successful season, all eyes will be on the new coordinator and his ability to guide the defense to victory.
