When Buffalo Bills assistant head coach/defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier announced he was taking a year off from coaching, it left a void on the team’s coaching staff. Who would call the defensive plays for a Bills defense that has been among the league’s best since head coach Sean McDermott came to Buffalo?

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by discussing the news that, rather than bringing in an external voice, McDermott will handle the defensive play-calling for Buffalo this year.
