Scouting department shuffling

And more...

Can't say this is shocking. Beathard is the grandson of Marty Hurney's mentor and benefactor, the great Bobby Beathard.

Bobby had a pretty good legacy in Washington. He helped build three Super Bowl teams there.

Sad, gotta love a name like Beathard

We kept an OC in place for years because Jerry Richardson loved the name "Shula".

From what I've heard though (which, granted, isn't much) Beathard was good at his job.

At least our scouts don't have to deal with the bullsh-t the ones in Philadelphia and Washington do where they work their asses off all year just to watch the owner come in and make the pick himself.

Mentioned it in another thread, but last year the Eagles scouts had a player teed up for their second round pick when Howie Roseman (likely at the request of Jeffrey Lurie) went off script and took Jalen Hurts instead.

The player that was next up on the scouts draft board?

Jeremy Chinn.

Found a little info on our new scout from the Patriots media guide...

Jonathan Howard is in his seventh season with the Patriots and his fifth as a scout. He joined the Patriots organization in May 2013 as a scouting assistant. Howard came to the Patriots from the University of Massachusetts where he spent the 2012 season as a volunteer defensive & recruiting assistant.

He played safety and linebacker at Washington University in St. Louis, where he graduated in 2012 with a degree in economics & strategy and marketing. He earned his master’s degree in sport management from the University of Massachusetts in August 2013.

A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Howard graduated from St. Xavier High School where he was a member of the 2007 Division I state title team.

If St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati sounds familiar to you, it should. That's where our old buddy Luke Kuechly went to school.

Kuechly and Howard were teammates on that 2007 state championship team.

    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
    • This thread is dumb. But I do think canales gets too cute with play calling and I don't think he's a good coach
