Breakdown of McDaniels offense by Riot Report

The good news is he does adjust to what his players can do and what the other team does 

and bad news, not much new in what he does, , good plagiarism if anything, and good timing for when to use it 

That's been going on since the game was invented.  What separates the good from the bad is as you say knowing when to use it.

If he is hired, McDaniels is unlikely to come in with a core philosophy of how he wants to play and look to find the talent to fit that – but rather he’ll focus on the talent available to him and work out how to design his offense in order to maximize that talent. For the Panthers, that means I would expect to see an awful lot of McCaffrey as a receiver in particular – a turbocharged version of James White in effect – with Curtis Samuel being primarily deployed to add a vertical element to the offense while the likes of Ian Thomas and DJ Moore look to work the intermediate areas of the field with the plan being to get the ball out quickly to both take pressure off the offensive line and to maximize the impact of the Panthers’ receivers’ abilities after the catch.

sounds great sign me up

It would be awfully nice to have a coach that will adjust to the personnel he has around him instead of just running them out there thinking they'll work in any old way.

McDaniels and Phillips as DC are both proven to work with what they have and not try to fit a square peg in a round hole.

I'm more concerned with who the OC and DC are going to be.

Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is positioned well now, with interviews scheduled for tomorrow with the Panthers in Boston, Wednesday with the Giants in Jersey and Friday with the Browns in his native Northeast Ohio. The key word for McDaniels will be the same one you heard Browns owner Jimmy Haslam use over and over again: Alignment. I don’t think McDaniels will go to a place where the organization is splintered and set up in silos, and I don’t think that’s about it control. Moreso, it’s about what I think he believes works. That said, he’s very much ready to leave New England, having lined up key assistants like Redskins OC Kevin O’Connell and Colts DBs coach Jonathan Gannon to play major roles on his staff.

It kinda works both ways.

When a new coach first takes charge, he doesn't have a whole lot of choice but to work with and make the best of what he's got. Of course, as time goes on, he has more opportunity to acquire the kind of players he wants to fit his scheme.

This is a big reason why teams firing coaches that have only had a year or two to implement their scheme are generally making dumb moves.

Mind you, I'm, not gonna say that's never justified (Freddie Kitchens, for example).

    • I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.
    • The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24. 
    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
