I can’t watch the videos for some reason, but my question is. How does his philosophy rank against Franks? It seems very different just hearing about motion, iso, getting your guys in space vs just sitting in shotgun and being stationary pre snap 

I think these videos will answer your questions for you.

Offensive Philosophy: 

Quote

Learning to evolve is the key to longevity and success. Coaches like Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, and Andy Reid have been around for a long time, but have learned what parts of their schemes they need to change and which parts stay the same.

“I think just the idea of putting people in space and isolation and getting as many matchups as you can get one on one or your better athletes against their worst athletes in space,” Callahan said. “I think that’s what you see in college a bunch. I do think that the precision of the passing game in the NFL has only gotten better and better as the years have gone on, both because the players have gotten better and also because people are doing a lot more of it all throughout the game.

“Passing almost used to be situational, drop back passing. And now you look at the analytics of throwing on the first down and doing all those things, the numbers support why it’s effective.”

With the explosion of passing in the NFL over the last few years (which has never been more evident than this year), ground-and-pound offenses are practically extinct. Very few teams, if any, are run-first anymore.

Even though Callahan will have a lot of input into the playbook, Taylor will be the one calling plays on Sundays. The relationship will be reminiscent of Sam Wyche and Bruce Coslett, back when Paul Brown was still the owner of the Bengals.

Coaching History:

Quote

In 2022, Callahan oversaw a dynamic offense that helped lead the team to its second consecutive division title and second straight AFC Championship Game appearance. The offense ranked seventh in the NFL in points per game (26.1), eighth in total yards (360.5 per game), and fifth in passing yards (265.0). He helped guide QB Joe Burrow to his first career Pro Bowl selection, as the third-year signal caller set single-season team records for completions (414) and TD passes (35), while also ranking fifth in the NFL in passing yards (4475). Callahan worked with a pair of 1000-yard WRs in Ja'Marr Chase (1046) and Tee Higgins (1029), who each reached the milestone despite missing time due to injuries. Up front, the Bengals featured a new-look line that continually improved in Callahan's system and allowed no more than two sacks in each of the final eight regular-season games.

In 2021, Callahan helped a talented young Bengals offense rank in the top 10 leaguewide in scoring (eighth, 27.1) and passing (seventh, 259.0) en route to an appearance in Super Bowl LVI. Burrow, returning from a knee injury suffered the previous season, led the NFL in completion percentage (70.4), while setting single-season team records for passing yards (4611) and passer rating (108.3). Chase was named the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year after posting a team-record 1455 receiving yards, while HB Joe Mixon was third in the NFL in rushing yards (1205) and fourth in rushing TDs (13) to earn his first Pro Bowl nod.

In 2020, Callahan helped transition Burrow, the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, to the pro level despite the absence of an in-person offseason program due to COVID-19. Before a knee injury ended his season in Week 11, Burrow's 264 completions were the most ever by an NFL QB through their first 10 career games, while his 2688 passing yards were fifth.

In 2019, his first Bengals season, Callahan helped Cincinnati's rushing average rise 70.6 yards in the first eight games (59.5) to the last eight (130.1). Leading the effort was Mixon, who totaled 1168 rushing yards and five TDs.

Prior to his arrival in Cincinnati, Callahan was quarterbacks coach for the Oakland Raiders in 2018. He helped QB Derek Carr to a then-career-high 4049 passing yards and an AFC-best 68.9 completion percentage.

Callahan served as QBs coach with the Detroit Lions from 2016-17. In 2017, he helped QB Matthew Stafford rank third in the NFL in passing yards (4446) and fourth in passing TDs (29). In 2016, Stafford had eight game-winning drives in fourth quarters (most by a QB in a season since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger).

Callahan began his NFL coaching career with the Denver Broncos, spending six years with the club in several offensive roles. He entered in 2010 as a coaching assistant, then moved to offensive quality control from '11-12, offensive assistant from '13-14, and offensive assistant/quarterbacks coach in '15. During his time with the Broncos, Callahan helped mold one of the NFL's most potent offenses, which led the Broncos to five consecutive AFC West titles from 2011-15, and a Super Bowl 50 victory.

Look at you still lingering

had to reply to some DMs and someone mentioned you were alluding to a levis supporter. So I figured i'd appreciate the acknowledgement.

58% of the passes directed at Mingo have been deemed “uncatchable”. Also Ridder is killing Pitts and London lol

That chart is a bit off according to Advanced Metrics.. Mingo has had a 48% catchable rate. His true catch rate is 88.9% and his contested catch rate is 33.3%.  3 of his uncatcheable targets came against the Seahawks, 2 against the Falcons and 3 against the Saints.

I think the one thing we don’t have enough information on is that Bryce seems to “kill” a lot of plays. Is he making the right calls or is he being fooled by the defense. 

I have counted 3 checks at the line that Bryce came away with his head down. The body language tells me that he knew he checked out wrong. The vikings brought a lot of exotic blitz schemes. There was one play they had 8 players in standing positions at the line... not a single down lineman....

You have no idea where it was designed to go only speculation but go on Mr. Know Everything 

It's not all speculation... especially after the play was run. As I just shared... you run routes to beat defensive schemes. The Thielen deep cross was a play designed for Thielen to be a cover 3. 

If your route concepts are designed to beat a specific type of defensive scheme.. then you know where the ball is supposed to go... it's literally how QBs are coached.... 

I am not going to go back and forth with you. Go post something about stroud or how Bryce has a noodle arm. This stuff... it's way over your head.

Will you quit with the play design crap...unless you have a playbook in that group chat

You don't need a team's playbook to understand route concepts and how they are designed to counter a defense. Man , Cover 3 , Cover 4 , Cover 2 and 0,1 are all countered by specific concepts like flood, mesh, sticks, screens, etc. 
 

You have clear outs by design to move safeties, you have out routes to hold cover 3 corners (See Dante Jackson blownn coverage against Seahawks), you have underneath routes to bring down the linebackers to free the medium mid. 

Just because you don't understand this stuff.. doesnt mean its crap.

1. the seam ball Young should’ve thrown for a TD to Theilen

if you are talking about the play toward the very end of the game, that was not a seam route. It was a deep crossing route. The play was designed to go to the back of the end zone.

20 minutes ago, *FreeFua* said:

2. the ball he threw just behind Theilen in the middle of the field, Chark was running deep down the middle. Had he waited a split second longer he would’ve seen Chark turn around 

that was a decoy to bring the safeties high so they couldnt sit on the crossing route. Look how Chark runs at about 75-80% speed and just moves left and right between both safeties as he goes up field. He even flips his head over his shoulder to see if the ball had been thrown yet... he was not an intended target on that play.

Trading away assets. 

ah okay - was thinking you refferring to him being told he wasnt allowed to do any trades, haha.

15 minutes ago, Leaky_Faucet said:

Yeah, he is over 30 and his best years are most likely behind him. I have zero idea who they are going after at this point. I was told a week ago that Fitterer is hand-cuffed on dealing picks, so unless this is another directive from the top, I don't know what to make of it. I imagine Adams and JJ are the two to watch but who knows anymore. 

handcuffed in what way?

18 minutes ago, Leaky_Faucet said:

Not saying I know anything about it or saying that would be the final trade. Just stating that would be a likely trade partner. Would have to be some money movement from Adams and the LV front office as well.

totally get it. Wasnt trying to be snarky.. Adams is in my top 3 of potential acquisitions but I would hope it wouldnt be as an extreme cost. His age and longevity is too risky imo.

You're being ridiculously sensitive about a difference of opinion on football.

you just cant help yourself can you? lol. 

The little guy has some bite.

I just disagree with you, that's all. You don't have to take it personally because I don't mean it personally. It's okay for people to have different takes. There would be no point in discussion if everyone agreed.

You are telling me not to take it personally.. when your comment was directed at my person? lol. 

I honestly think you're deluding yourself and desperately trying to find a play here and there and convince yourself that a pretty ordinary play is special instead of looking at the full picture and not grading on a curve trying to find something positive.

So the NFL network had former players questioning Youngs arm talent.  You believe them?

Was one player for it and one player against it? 

or was the entire panel saying something about his arm? 

if you have the link to the video we could probably be able to tell if it was actual opinion or just the writers having the panel use a topic to keep the show interesting. 

Like when Nick Wright said that Jalen Hurts wasnt good enough to be in the super bowl last year? haha. The dude is the Asmongold of Sports.

So it was Week 1 then?

yeah it was against the Falcons - on that dumb facemask call that the refs fuged up.

The question is if they are balking at the idea of paying two WRs or if it is paying overall, even if it is another position?

That's a good question. Maybe thy could make both Chase and Burns work in their cap. It would be tricky but not impossible.

Didn't see that one but yeah, have to be able to capitalize on those opportunities.

That’s not real…. He overthrew mingo by 3-4 yards 40 yards down the field….

And I've shared mine. I honestly think you're deluding yourself and desperately trying to find a play here and there and convince yourself that a pretty ordinary play is special instead of looking at the full picture and not grading on a curve trying to find something positive.

I think this is where your disconnect kicks in. Huddle isn’t the only community I’m actively involved in. In reality, that throw was heavily complimented by a lot of people and I just forwarded in here. 
 

im in a discord channel (NFT project) with a few ex-pros who were hyping that throw when I shared it. There are content creators on Twitter who share the same sentiment.

you think I’m doing this stuff on my own and driving an agenda. However, that’s where you are wrong.  I’m not finding a play, I am just trying to share useful information to people who try to survive the huddle. 
 

all I do is contribute panther content here bc of how fortunate I am to be connected to some awesome people and tools to share.
