There was one thing Bills players didn’t like under Sean McDermott that they wanted changed and Joe Brady made the change happen

It’s a simple thing, but it was a big deal to Buffalo Bills players.

There are plenty of things that are staying the same in Buffalo under new Bills head coach Joe Brady.

Brady, after all, was in the building for the last four seasons as an assistant coach — he knows what works and what needs to be changed.

One thing that Brady changed from the Sean McDermott era, however, wasn’t something that was on his mind initially. Instead, it was something the players wanted changed.

According to a story from ESPN, the music during Buffalo’s practices now includes curse words.

McDermott, apparently, played the censored versions of songs.

“At an arbitrary Bills practice, the music blasting throughout the session stands out,” wrote ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg. “Not the fact that it’s playing itself, but that this music contains significantly more expletives. There’s no censoring this practice unlike what the previous coaching regime did. The change was something the players requested in which Brady obliged. It is one of many changes that he has brought to the team after coach Sean McDermott’s nine-year tenure ended on Jan. 19 when he was fired.”

“Right, wrong or indifferent. I want the guys, this is their safe space,” said Brady to ESPN. “… I don’t want them to have to think about the music.”

I mean, I don’t know how much impact playing the uncensored version of songs can make, but if it helps players prepare better during the week, then I guess it’s worth a shot.

Brady has a reputation as a players’ coach. It’ll certainly be interesting to see if that approach helps the Bills get over the hump and finally return to the Super Bowl.
