Sean McDermott embraces hitting during first padded practice
Leading up to Buffalo’s first padded practice at training camp, Bills head coach Sean McDermott said he wanted “to see nasty, physical football, but I don’t want to see disrespect for a man’s career and dirty football. ... That’s not how we play in Buffalo. So, we painted a pretty clear picture this morning of what that looks like for the new players in particular. So that nastiness has to be developed here, but it can’t be at the expense of someone’s career. So clean, but physical.”
