The Steelers operated that way forever(drafting and acquiring players to fit established systems) and never had it hurt them.

They haven't won in awhile though, and they've also made subtle changes over the years depending upon personnel. You have to do that. You can't use JuJu like AB for example. The big play offense is gone...for now. I expect they'll upgrade their receivers and we'll see a switch.

Ellis mentioned a connection I'd overlooked.

Pat Stewart was with the Eagles during Reich's time there as OC.

I looked for connections in the coaching staff and thought about the front office, but didn't really look too far beyond Fitterer and Morgan (my mistake) 😄

@Mr. Scot Awesome post, thanks for the time

Kevin Patullo for sure is a name to watch

Mike Groh is also a potential OC.  He was part of the highly curated Daboll staff that all came together without much history.  He was Reich's WR coach in Philly & then Indy but got plucked away.  And got that pedestrian NYG room playing really solidly this year (Slayton & Hodgins).  In checking him out, it sounds like he's not just a colleague but vry tight with Frank so could see him on the squad.

Tyler Boyles is another who's young and was Reich's handpicked assistant "to the" HC.  His young 30-ish Y/O assistant will likely follow him methinks.

I hadn't looked too hard at Groh as an OC but I'll probably take another look.

Based on what I'm reading about Reich having already interviewed people though, I'm starting to think the hires might be announced before I've had time to research anybody 😄

Groh is a classic NFL nepo-baby but could be good.  Hard to tell, didn't have the best cred when he was on Fisher's Rams but seems to have reworked his career a bit.

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
