I had an intriguing thought run through my mind.

Ben Johnson and Luke Kuechly are acquainted from their Boston College days. I wonder if Johnson would ask Kuechly to help him scout for offensive weaknesses or tendencies.

Could be useful...

Defensive names around the league he could recruit to his staff that he's worked with:

CIN: Mark Duffner (part of Taylor's CIN crew stemming back to their days in Miami with Dan Campbell), he's old but could advise.  Jordan Kovacs (LB Coach) is the young gun, who was a player that followed Zac Taylor and became a coach.  Been VERY impressed with the Bengals LBs (Logan Wilson is awesome)  

TB: Kacy Rodgers - DL Coach/Run Game Coordinator

MIN/LSU: Daronte Jones - DB Coach

DAL: George Edwards - Senior Assistant

MIA: Steve Gregory - Safeies Coach (Former player, up and comer)

College: Al Golden (ND's DC), Luke Kuechly

Offense wise, I love what Randle El has done with St Brown, Raymond, Reynolds, Chark, etc.  Would be fun to see if he could follow or who else on offense would like Brunell.  Did have some overlap with Bevell in reverse with MIA and DET.

This is the style of offense I want. Aggressive, using scheme and motion to keep DCs baffled and not afraid to keep his foot on the gas. They traded Hockenson and their TE2/TE3 put up 8TDs and this is the best Goff has looked in the NFL.

What it's going to come down to, IMO, is how much of the LIons' offensive success is Johnson vs. Campbell and can Johnson be a HC vs. an OC.

 

Dude, thanks for sharing this channel. I love this X's and O's stuff.

This is awesome... Would love to get a chance with him as our HC...

He’s also a UNC grad which I didn’t realize. Bonus for being a local guy. 

Eh.....I think we need to be careful about fixating too heavily on the "local guy" aspect. We have gotten ourselves in trouble a lot of times banking too heavily on that in players and coaches.

Those are always cool stories but the reality is that rarely matters on the field. In the community it is usually fantastic.

Looking into this some more for a separate post on DC candidates for the young OCs, but couple of other names:

  • Vance Joseph - was DC in Miami in 2016 when Johnson was TE coach. Joseph has prior HC experience (Broncos 2017-2018) and may not be retained in Arizona after Kingsbury firing; would be an ideal pairing IMO
  • Matt Burke - was LB coach (2016) and then DC (2017-2018) in Miami when Johnson was on staff. Was then a defensive assistant (2019) and later DL coach and run game coordinator (2020) in Philly under Doug Pederson. Currently DL coach in Arizona and unlikely to be retained after the Kingsbury firing

Joseph Is a pretty solid DC.

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
