Matt Rhule on Joe Brady's progression

[Jeremy Igo]

Matt Rhule had some thoughts on the offensive play calling and what has been different as of late.

Quote

One of the things that has happen the first couple games, is we went out expecting one defense and
then getting another, something different. So, I think our whole staff, when I say Joe, that’s really the whole
offensive staff, has really tried to hone in on hey, what are really the things we do well and really do them well. I
think there was a really good run plan this week. We knew they were going to pressure us. I though Pat Meyer
and Marcus Satterfield and those guys did a great job. So, I think all of us are really growing. That’s game four,
that’s really kind of like the end of the preseason, what would have been the end of the preseason.

It is nice to see them focusing on the things they really do well. More meat, less bread. Pounding the ball with Davis with the occasional long throw to Robby or DJ is some fun football watchin.

We will probably lose Brady at the end of the season.

This is what smart coaching looks like. Joe Brady has done a great job with situational play calling after the failed 4th and 1 against the Raiders. We saw the Panthers run that sake play against the Cardinals to convert a 3rd and short to Alex Armah up the middle, and that seemed to energize the team. 

Really nice to see the team utilize what they have and scheme around player strengths and weaknesses. I think we all like what we see from the offense, especially not losing a beat after McCaffrey went down. The fact the Panthers are 2-0 without CMC is shocking and bodes very well for the future.

I could not imagine Joe Brady with a prime Cam. Lawd, that would’ve been deadly.

Not if Tepper has anything to say about it.

Nah I bet we have him for at least 2 maybe even 3 seasons. He’s so young and this is only his 2nd season coaching in the NFL. McDermott took awhile to get his first head coaching gig and we all knew he was talented.

Not sure with the way offenses are going this year.

you're telling me we open the second half with zylstra, roberts, and god knows who else on the field and get a first down on 1 play? wtf is happening here?   and there are a lot of players getting some time and experience that i don't think would ever see the field in past regimes w/out injury.  i just really like what's happening all the way around.  we're actually not stupid.  i'm really kinda in shock.

Mcvay was 30 when he got the rams gig and that was the youngest ever in the NFL and that was after he had almost a decade in the NFL.  Brady is 31 in his first real NFL gig.  I think we have him for at least 2-3 more years.  Plus with Teppers $ anything is possible.

Brady is a really young, smart coach.  I love what I've seen, but a HC has to be a leader of men.  I've heard lots of good things about Brady, but I just don't think he's ready.  A couple more years, then sure.  

If I were Brady, I'd be careful about jumping on the first team that throws Rhule money at him.  There are only 32 NFL HC positions, and we've seen countless times good coaches get bounced out, get in over their heads, and ruin their careers.

McDermott is a defensive coach, look at guys like Mcvay, Leflour, Taylor, Kingsbury all these guys have as much experience as Brady. It’s the new trend to go with a young offensive coach

[Jeremy Igo]

Brady is an offensive wiz but very new to being a coach. It takes so much more to being a successful head coach than just calling good plays. He is no where near ready to be a head coach.

I don't think he's been in the pros long enough to establish enough connections to put together a staff. Mcdermott had been in the league for over a decade, McVay was in the NFL for 7/8 years before getting a head coaching job so he had the connections. 

This is only Brady's second year in the NFL. I'm not sure he could put together a staff on his own just yet.

If he gets an opportunity then he needs to take it that’s just the way it goes. There is no rhyme or reason on how or when a coach gets a gig. It’s 1 of 32 positions in the NFL and when you get one you just take it because there may not be a second.
