Ehhh. In the five games immediately before his firing, our offense averaged barely over 17 ppg... We were on a hard course downward and while Nixon was not better, Brady at the end wasn't good either.  After Minnesota the wheels came completely off save for a brief reprieve from Cam's energetic return. Excluding Cam's ARZ game, the offense averaged 11.8 ppg after Minnesota under Brady...

Rhule interfered and wanted a more run focused offense. Brady was no longer running his offense. He was trying to call the offense as Rhule wanted it.

Don't be shocked if he lands somewhere with a good young QB and has wildly different results.

Meanwhile, the painful reality is that as soon as he was gone the offense turned into something that is usually seen on Friday nights. Calling it a college offense would be an insult to college offense. We were straight up running a HS offense.

Well we did go to a “Baylor buddy” who should never even sniff an OC role, and he was using the exact same playbook. Don’t get me wrong I know we were terrible but that doesn’t mean Brady was ever good.

Oh for sure, although I think that Brady was in over his head and didn't have a true NFL mentor here, which fuged him too imo.  Last year we saw consistent problems with getting plays in on time, same problem in 2020. And while Cam (and tbh to an extent early Darnold) did improve on red zone effexiency he still has vexing situational playcalls.

Time and time again, Rhule failed to respect how much actual NFL experience matters... I think Brady can be good with a good mentor.

So Nixon was worse than Brady…

Nixon wasn't going to change a whole lot of the offense.  You can't install a new offense during the season.  He lost a lot of players and had to play some stronger teams too.  It's hard to say if he was better or worse than Brady with what he had to work with.

Did he, though?

I ask because it sure as heck didn't become more run focused when Jeff Nixon was running it, but I don't remember Rhule complaining.

Part of me thinks Rhule was just using that as an excuse to scapegoat Brady.

He did. Then he let his buddy run the offense how he wanted and we all saw how that worked out.

That's kinda what I'm getting at.

It mattered when Brady was running it. Then Jeff Nixon takes over and gets a free pass.

I suppose either way ultimately just points to Rhule being a douchebag.

Joe Brady had great concepts but that's it. His play calling was sub par and his red zone offense was terrible. Not to mention he hand picked two QBs and he couldn't make either one work in his system. I'm not saying it was all his fault because it never is but a bunch of our troubles were his fault.

Brady might have success in Cincinnati given his LSU connections with Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase.  Not because Brady has gotten any better as an OC but because the players there are so good they don't really need him.  The Bengals offense will succeed in spite of Brady.  And who knows, maybe Brady gets better with more practice.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
