On Saturday, Bills star defensive tackle Marcell Dareus got himself sent home prior to the team's preseason matchup against the Ravens for violating club rules.
On Sunday, head coach Sean McDermott addressed the situation with reporters, but did not get into specifics.
"We have certain things we do a certain way, and I expect everyone to be accountable and the rest is really between Marcell and myself," McDermott said, via The Buffalo News. "Really, we're moving forward. That's where I stand on it, we're moving forward, and I'm looking forward to getting out here on the practice field and getting better."
He added: "I'll say this, (Dareus and I) got off on the right foot. And then we decided last night to make the decision we did, I did. And every decision I make is going to be in the best interest of this football team, and that's the way it goes."
On Sunday, Dareus addressed the situation. "I take full responsibility," he said. "I talked with coach McDermott after practice and I'm zoning in wholeheartedly going forward."
While McDermott said he wasn't trying to send a message outside of "understand everyone needs to know what's expected and everyone's accountable," it's clear he's trying to start the season on a firm note. Coaches taking over teams formerly headed by Rex Ryan have had similar experiences in the recent past. Ryan's freewheeling style has been popular with players, but also difficult to reign in after a period of relative lawlessness.
Discipline was a key pillar of McDermott's introduction in Buffalo. It was a culture changing process that included locker room alterations and the elevation of certain players operating the right way. As ESPN.com pointed out in April: McDermott has since nixed the video games, pool table and air hockey. "This is a business," McDermott said March 9. "We have to make sure we stay focused on the task at hand, and that means earn the right to win on a daily basis."
It remains to be seen how the Dareus/McDermott relationship will progress. For the moment, McDermott said the two have not spoken following the infraction.

Jerry Jones donates $1 million to Harvey relief efforts

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ It only makes sense  Dez Bryant  would be the one to  receive  news of the  Dallas Cowboys ' generous donation for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. The  Cowboys  held a Salvation Army telethon Thursday at AT&T Stadium to raise money for people affected by the hurricane, and owner Jerry Jones called in to make his donation of $1 million. The person on the other side of the phone:  Dez Bryant . "I thought I was setting Dez up, but he set me up on the conversation, which he's pretty good at doing," Jones told NFL Network's Jane Slater. "Dez likes to get involved in his own business. We've had a couple negations over the years. It was a lot of fun. I'm so rewarded to see these players that understand how they're helping people with their interest and celebrity." The  Cowboys  and the Jon...

Steelers' Martavis Bryant cleared for regular season

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store  please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ Martavis Bryant  is officially back. The  Steelers  wide receiver has been cleared for regular-season practices and games, the NFL announced Friday in a statement. Bryant was conditionally reinstated in April after missing the entire 2016 campaign for a violation of the league's policy on substances of abuse. In August, the NFL announced that the third-year pass-catcher was permitted to participate in all preseason activities, including practices and games. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported last month that Bryant was required by the league to continue attending mandatory counseling sessions in order to gain full reinstatement for the regular season. Bryant clearly checked that box, leaving Pittsburgh with full use of a player who has emerged as one of football's most dangerous red-zone weapons. As fello...

Browns release quarterback Brock Osweiler

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store  please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ It's over for  Brock Osweiler  in Cleveland. In a move that comes as little surprise, the  Browns  have released the veteran quarterback they traded for in March as part of an unusual deal with the  Texans , a source informed of the move told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Going from a featured starter during the preseason to an exiled ghost, Osweiler didn't even see the field in Cleveland's final two preseason bouts as the team explored trade options until the end. Set to make a whopping $16 million guaranteed this season, Osweiler was rough-and-tumble trade bait from the start. After all, the cap-rich  Browns  only swapped for the signal-caller and his massive salary as a way to acquire Houston's 2018 second-round draft pick -- an ultra-rare NFL deal th...
