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).

    • But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.
    • I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing. 
    • Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
