Nice breakdown of Joe Brady’s attack


Mills

Recommended Posts

It's a good breakdown.

One other thing I notice looking at the route arrangements, there's a fair number of natural picks built in. That's a Sean Payton special. A lot of what the Saints do works off of that.

More importantly though, Brady understands that route arrangement matters. When you're playing flag football, you're typically just saying "you go here, you go there, you go long" etc. But at the pro level, there's a reason behind each route.

I was never really sure if Mike Shula truly understood that, honestly. The fact that we often had two guys running to the same area really makes me wonder. That made it easier on defenses, whereas Brady is trying to make their job as tough as he can.

One thing for certain: To run this kind of attack, you're going to need smart players. Not just a quarterback, but smart receivers, running backs, all of it.

That'll affect how we draft, as well as what free agents we look at.

Wouldn't picks involve running receivers in the same area?

That’s one thing that stood out to me about the players we drafted or signed in FA during the off-season: smart players who are serious and focused on football. You can tell there’s a different demeanor and mental toughness about this team - a quiet confidence that makes you believe they will come to play ever game.

It’s a refreshing change from the inconsistencies we were accustomed to seeing over the years.

Rhule Is smart enough to make sure we are grooming someone behind the scenes.  Our coaching staff is huge.  If Brady leaves we will still keep his system.  

This is dangerous. 

It takes more than simply knowing a scheme/system. 

Anyone can know anyone's system simply by reviewing tape. 

But the actual reasons and situational play calling is not something one can just always learn and copy. 

I'd rather Rhule go out and get who ever is the best proven play caller available. 

And even if we had someone we thought could replace Joe, Joe would likely take him with him to be is OC.

I don't get the hand wringing over losing Brady. That is a fact of life in the NFL, even with the best franchises. If you have a successful franchise, you can survive those losses. 

Additionally, he was never going to retire here. You cross that bridge when it comes.

People worry because we don't know how Rhule is gonna handle this. 

Is he gonna pull a Ron and hire within eg Shula?

Or is he gonna go out and get the best candidate possible?

TBD. If he goes out and hires a bum, we were doomed to failure from day one.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
