Interesting.  Did he not do it in Indy?  

I'm not sure to be honest.  I stopped following him after he signed with the Colts.  It appears he did at times so who knows? He did say that is one of the things he would change is focusing more on other aspects of the team and not just the offense.

If he hires an experienced OC, then I could see him giving up playcalling.

If he hires a young guy, I'd be more likely to expect he'll do it himself.

Pretty sure he hasn't said.

He's "open" to not calling them but I'm not certain that decision has been made yet.

He did call plays for the Colts.

He mentioned that he wasn't going to micromanage the offense and let his OC take care of that. He said he wasn't planning on calling the plays. Sounds like he doesn't want to anyway.

Good news on Campen and Tabor. It sounds like Reich was told to keep them on staff rather than just “encouraged.”  Smart move by Tepp/Fitt. 
 

Also, it seems clear our owner is willing to spend what it takes. Being that’s the main purpose of a sports team owner, I’m in the minority that’s happy with Tepper as our owner. We are forcing teams league wide to match what we are willing to pay. 

These are competitively natured guys. Money is not everything and it will not buy everything. We have seen this time and time again with players and coaches during Tepper’s tenure.

Countless players (with options) would never fathom going to the Browns in the past and this is no different -

You can’t be a dysfunctional, losing franchise and just expect to pay for wins/success. That mentality has been a big part of the issue all along.

Do you remember where you saw that?

I can't recall seeing anything definitive. Honestly, we've had little to no substantive discussion to this point.

(not that they're necessarily should be this early)

Honestly, he probably doesn't need to call plays. Once Indy began failing this past season, they scapegoated OC Marcus Brady when Reich was actually the play caller.

He said it in the first interview with the lady Balboni or whatever her name was. But he didn't go into much detail or give specifics. I would have to go back and listen again.

I really don't know what he will end up doing to be honest.  I'm just trying to figure out what they are doing just by going off what is actually said. This is misinformation season you know.

If we retain Tabor as STC, that's actually a under the radar coordinator that tends to get overlooked...and he's a good one!  Reich should sit down with him and just make sure they click on a personal level because we all know he can coach STs extremely well.  Then draw up the contract and check off that box for a coordinator.

Same with Campen, his influence on our OL can't be denied.  Another sit down and chat to make sure everything is kosher, agree to terms and get that contract signed too.

Can't remember where I saw it...someone did say that he wanted to take more of a CEO approach.

It was the interview on the official website.  It wasn't anything definitive, though.  It was more of a generalization about being a HC and having an OC calling plays.  It wasn't a firm statement like,  'I will not be calling plays as the HC.'  Reich wouldn't pigeon-hole himself like that.  Would he like an OC he's comfortable enough to call plays?  Absolutely.  However, if he can only land a green OC and not a experienced veteran play caller, I'm sure Frank will have some input.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
