A little background on Joe Brady

Weird how sometimes the littlest things can wind up having a big impact. Take the story of how Joe Brady wound up at LSU, for example (from Albert Breer at the MMQB)

Quote

In 2018, LSU asked if Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael or quarterbacks coach Joe Lombardi could come talk at a camp. The two were tied up, but because the programs are close, the Saints sent Brady, then a quality-control assistant, over instead. And he was so impressive in giving a speech there that the Tigers hired him a year later.

Now, for their troubles, the Saints get to deal with him in the NFC South.

Nice decision, Saints folks.

Breer also included this brief analysis of Brady as a coach:

Quote

Brady wasn’t the primary play-caller at LSU, but he did import Saints concepts to Baton Rouge, helped make the offense work for Heisman winner Joe Burrow and, after asking around, I can tell you that Brady’s very well-respected by on-the-road scouts who’s job is to know the college ranks.

“He just does a good job of mixing it up, RPOs, play action, it’s a good, versatile offense,” one AFC exec said. “He knows how to flood zones and give his quarterback multiple layers to throw to. And he understands the passing game really well and knows how to marry the run game to it. He gives you a lot of looks and gives the quarterback options.”

One of the best aspects of Sean Payton's game is his play design. Sounds like that'll be true of Brady as well.

Sucks we will be rebuilding for his tenure with us, doubt he lasts more than 2 years here. 

Hopefully he's here long enough to have an internal successor who can keep continuity with his system. I'll be fine with him moving on after a couple years if that happens, since it means he would've been a successful OC.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
