Joe Brady almost overshadowed the injury bug

I’m trying to stay patient but he leaves me with some very head scratching calls no matter the personnel we have in.

Today was hard with our main dudes getting dinged, but I’ve gotta say, the short yardage play calling and poor protection scheming on misdirects just kills me.

Yeah. My weird thing is he makes me feel more comfortable on 3rd and longs than 3rd and shorts. He’s young and bright so I trust he can learn and adjust. Hence my patience but he’s got some short yardage head scratchers. We could’ve had some easy bootleg TE tds in the redzone this year that were 3 pt drives.

Notables for consideration:

-off tackle weak side on second and shorts

-a slack of early 1st and 2nd down in the gun

-lack of true spread (don’t know if it’s on Darnold’s progressions though)

This is the moment where Hubbatd, Arnold, Tremble, Marshall can step up and am looking at them. But there are questionable hiccups. Not consistent, like I said “almost” but he has these moments where it’s almost like he’s thinks he’s in 4D when the opposition is looking at it for what it is.

There were some questionable calls but some really good ones too. He’s not perfect but Christ, it’s like some of you guys don’t remember the Shula years. Brady could be twice as bad and he’d still be twice as good as Shula. 

I agree. Not trying to jump on him like a mob here, I just think his growth should be monitored this season. It’s important to our success and closing out games. As I said above, Rivera’s squads never had the close out mentality Brady has. But we have these weird stall outs where it’s like he gets too cute when he has sooo many weapons at his disposal. Highly optimistic he’s a top OC by years end but there were a few moments if slightly off could’ve been big momentum swings. B-

Thanks for the candid replies. I’ll remain optimistic. Trust he’s got the trajectory and acumen. He’s been highly touted for a reason. We never closed a close game like that ever with a Rivera (or very rarely)

 

We are going to go for a lot of these. The more we do, the better we should get. Hopefully anywho.

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.

      What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
