I wouldn't say he can't have success. Lots of guys take a step back. Sean Payton did. As far as the playbook though, per Browns own words, he wrote it himself. It includes influences and philosophies from both McVay and Reich, but the play designs are his own.
-
-
Is take Jim Caldwell over Bill O'Brien
-
Reich stated when he came aboard that the idea was to scheme around the players rather than try to force them into something they don't fit. That hasn't happened at all. The question is why.
-
Won't know till season's end.
-
To a degree... The skill players aren't great, but it's also true they're not being schemed well. Put that together with the OL mismatch and you have a mess.
-
On topic...
-
Yeah, that article doesn't back you up. It's just Irsay giving a post mortem on that season. Zac Keefer gave a full accounting in The Athletic article linked earlier.
-
Irsay didn't tell him to get rid of Wentz. Reich did that on his own. Irsay told him to bench Matt Ryan and play Ehringer over Nick Foles. (all reported by Zac Keefer)
-
He's part of the mess, though. He wrote the plays. I suspect next season he'll go back to being a runningback coach.
-
Reich had no problem moving on from Carson Wentz. He even apologized to Irsay for not being able to "fix" him. It was the following year when Irsay started trying to dictate the depth chart that things got testy.
-
-
It's not just that he's calling the plays. He wrote them.
-
More from Diana Russini... Bill O'Brien as a head coach isn't something I'd want to see, but he would be an OC option if things go as expected in New England. Personally I'd rather give Jim Caldwell a shot, but who knows what'll happen here?
-
No argument... I've said elsewhere that I could see Thomas Brown being relieved of his duties and replaced by Jim Caldwell. As much as Brown may be an up-and-coming coach, I don't know that he was ready to be an OC yet.
-
Also from today's presser...
-
Staying within a West Coast style offense, the left guard position gets solidified by Ickey moving into it. That probably wouldn't happen until next season though. If Christensen were available, he could be moved to left tackle. Sadly, he isn't and I don't know that we have anyone else up to the task.
-
It ought to be though. The guy writing our playbook came from Sean McVay's system where creativity is encouraged. Unfortunately, that's one of the other areas where I think we're lacking. The play designs we use don't look like anything special.
-
Now, if you wanted to use Thomas as a traditional blocking style fullback...
-
Yeah, I'd agree. One of the areas where I've had issues with like has been depth chart decisions. That'd be one I wouldn't like at all.
-
At the skill positions perhaps, but not on the line. Those guys didn't go from being good blockers to complete turnstiles in a year. They're being used in a way that doesn't suit them, especially Ekwonu.
-
Horn is good news, but I don't really see much reason to put Ian Thomas back in except as a blocker
-
Also... I could agree with that, but they also have to be used correctly.
-
This though...
-
So apparently someone asked a question...
