The question is certainly valid, but after a little investigating, it’s overblown.Farwell never coached with McDermott in Carolina. He was hired after McDermott came to Buffalo. That certainly doesn’t mean that McDermott didn’t speak with Chase Blackburn, who was a player and coach while McDermott was in Carolina. It’s almost a certainty that he did. But does that matter?When you’re doing work on your home, do you go out and hire someone based on a general reputation or do you ask trusted family and friends who they might recommend? A lot of times those are the same people White Logan Thomas Jerseys , but leaning on folks you know is pretty common.The Bills certainly have their fair share of former Panthers, but I don’t think it’s to the detriment of the team. After a sub-par season, Buffalo let Mike Tolbert leave in free agency. They cut Kelvin Benjamin. They didn’t re-sign Leonard Johnson. They cut Kaelin Clay. The list of former Bills who are also former Panthers is pretty high, so while they might have an “in,” that doesn’t mean they have carte blanche. They still have to perform once they get here in order to stay.Look no further than offensive line coach Juan Castillo. He’s known and worked with McDermott for nearly 20 years. He was fired a couple days after the season because his squad under-performed in the eyes of the head coach. Rick Dennison had no experience with McDermott before. It’s not like it’s a prerequisite for it to be a good or bad hire. New o-line coach Bobby Johnson has no direct ties to McDermott or offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Does that make him a better or worse coach? No.It’s not something I’m worried about and will continue to be down my list of concerns if the team goes and signs Devin Funchess or any other former Panthers this off-season.Helpful linksBills fire offensive line coach Juan CastilloBills interested in interviewing Sean Kugler for o-line coachBills interview Joe Philbin Logan Thomas Jerseys 2019 , possibly for o-line positionKugler signs in Arizona, what next for Bills o-line?Buffalo hiring OL coach Bobby JohnsonGM Brandon Beane discusses “judicious” free agency planBuffalo hiring Heath Farwell to coach special teamsBills send survey to fans asking for stadium inputLeSean McCoy rooting for adding offensive linemenOnce again, you can call and leave your question at 716-508-0405 any time day or night, tweet us @RumblingsQandA, email us at BuffaloRumblings@SBNation.com Youth Zay Jones Jerseys , or leave a comment in the comments section below.

They ran the ball on 16 of those plays and Leonard Fournette capped both drives with touchdown runs that tied the score at 14-14.Jacksonville got the ball back with a chance to take the lead and moved the ball to midfield when they asked Blake Bortles to throw the ball. That didn’t go well for them as Bills linebacker Matt Milano picked off the pass.Bortles was 5-of-8 for 31 yards on the half, which is less yards than Fournette, Chris Ivory and wide receiver Dede Westbrook have run for individually. That interception may lead to even more work on the ground over the next 30 minutes and that would probably work well given the 173 yards they’ve already picked up on Sunday.The interception didn’t hurt the Jags on the scoreboard as the Bills couldn’t score. They hurt themselves with a penalty to start the drive and flags on offense have been an issue all day for Buffalo. They were bailed out by another penalty later in the drive when Jalen Ramsey was flagged for illegal contact on a pass he intercepted.It was Ramsey’s second penalty of the day as he faces Allen for the first time since calling him trash and Ramsey could be seen telling the Bills bench “you trash” after the penalty was called on him with three seconds to go in the half.
