Nice breakdown of Joe Brady’s attack

It's a good breakdown.

One other thing I notice looking at the route arrangements, there's a fair number of natural picks built in. That's a Sean Payton special. A lot of what the Saints do works off of that.

More importantly though, Brady understands that route arrangement matters. When you're playing flag football, you're typically just saying "you go here, you go there, you go long" etc. But at the pro level, there's a reason behind each route.

I was never really sure if Mike Shula truly understood that, honestly. The fact that we often had two guys running to the same area really makes me wonder. That made it easier on defenses, whereas Brady is trying to make their job as tough as he can.

One thing for certain: To run this kind of attack, you're going to need smart players. Not just a quarterback, but smart receivers, running backs, all of it.

That'll affect how we draft, as well as what free agents we look at.

Wouldn't picks involve running receivers in the same area?

That’s one thing that stood out to me about the players we drafted or signed in FA during the off-season: smart players who are serious and focused on football. You can tell there’s a different demeanor and mental toughness about this team - a quiet confidence that makes you believe they will come to play ever game.

It’s a refreshing change from the inconsistencies we were accustomed to seeing over the years.

Rhule Is smart enough to make sure we are grooming someone behind the scenes.  Our coaching staff is huge.  If Brady leaves we will still keep his system.  

This is dangerous. 

It takes more than simply knowing a scheme/system. 

Anyone can know anyone's system simply by reviewing tape. 

But the actual reasons and situational play calling is not something one can just always learn and copy. 

I'd rather Rhule go out and get who ever is the best proven play caller available. 

And even if we had someone we thought could replace Joe, Joe would likely take him with him to be is OC.

I don't get the hand wringing over losing Brady. That is a fact of life in the NFL, even with the best franchises. If you have a successful franchise, you can survive those losses. 

Additionally, he was never going to retire here. You cross that bridge when it comes.

People worry because we don't know how Rhule is gonna handle this. 

Is he gonna pull a Ron and hire within eg Shula?

Or is he gonna go out and get the best candidate possible?

TBD. If he goes out and hires a bum, we were doomed to failure from day one.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      He has rarely been aggressive enough to be considered a gunslinger type player. The guy he is describing is Pat Mahomes-esque and I doubt any of us see that in Bryce.  When the play is breaking down or he bails on the play, how often are we really seeing him laser it into a tight window? How about scramble long enough to get someone breaking free and then hitting them? I remember that far less, although I am not sitting down to look at all 2.5 years of data, than I am checkdowns, throw aways, off target passes, scrambles, etc.

      Wow this is some crazy nonsense. First, he doesn't have problems picking up the ball on quick slants or screens, go back and watch the replays, you can clearly see him start to turn his head on those drops before the ball is in his hands, it's a concentration issue, not an issue of picking up the ball. Yes, it's 100% something he has to improve upon and it's still a knock on him, but you're making up a problem that isn't there, when the real problem that is there is a very correctable one and also one that is rather common for a player 6 games into his career and trying to do too much. After that, I genuinely don't understand what your point is in bringing up where he ranks in YPC, as if that's some indicator of his abilities.  Which, to begin with, he's not 31st, he's 26th (and that's before even factoring in the players above him with just a handful of catches, like Horn Jr with his 4 catches).  Then below him in that YPC ranks are guys like Chase, CeeDee, London, Tyreek, Waddle, Higgins, BTJ, Wilson etc, so I'm not sure what pointing out his ranking has anything to do with what kind of player he is or might become.  All of that before even looking how close he is to being much higher on the list because they're all so close together, he's 27 yards across 6 games shy from being in the Top 15. If you want to pick and choose stats, why not look at things like being 3rd in the NFL in catches of 20+ yards or 6th in the NFL in 1st down catches? And finally, no, just no.  He doesn't look far less pro ready than Egbuka, he's just in a significantly worse situation if you're just looking for a big statistical output.  Egbuka is playing with the current front runner for MVP, in a pass happy offense, where all their other pass catchers keep getting hurt, so of course he's going to be putting up big stats.  Swap those players and T-Mac might be leading the NFL in yards right now, not to mention would have just as many TD's as Egbuka does as well.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan.
