Merle Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Check out Lynn's bookshelves in the background of this vid cap from this week's "Hard Knocks - Los Angeles" episode. And if you look closely, it appears that the red binders on the top-left of that same shelf may have the Bills logo as well ... ??? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds are they were specific Buffalo Bills game plans relative to that team whose logo is on there. It makes sense since he's got the same QB and plays some of the same teams/coaches/schemes.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I can condense a lot of that data for him. TT passes incomplete, TT tries to throw a dump off incomplete, TT runs for 6 yards, Punt. Its like playing a song on the guitar, the notes never change and the song stays the same. Lynn has to know that his WR's will have a revolt at week 5. 3 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn has to know that his WR's will have a revolt at week 5. Honestly it's part of a pretty calculated plan. Put TT in there to take the pressure off of the rookie for the first 4-7 weeks. Then once the season looks lost you toss the rookie in there for the back 11-9 games. I think in this weird type of Covid season it is probably best you don't toss a rookie in there if you don't have to. I love TT and I think if you have a great team around him he can manage you to double digit wins easily. But the Chargers while they aren't a bad team they aren't going to be able to carry bad QB play that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Another shot from the same Hard Knocks episode shows he also has kept a bunch of information from his days with the NY Jets as well ..... I especially like the one titled "2012 Offensive Offseason Playbook"! 😉 Edited September 9, 2020 by Merle update 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Recycling. Perhaps intel, more than likely just binders. 🤔 Spanos is notoriously frugal. Edited September 9, 2020 by Ridgewaycynic2013 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornAgainBillsFan Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Coaching is all about looking like you're prepared...until they find out you're not. Then you move on to become the Jets' next head coach. 1 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If what I think will happen to the Jets and Chargers this year actually happens then both will be lucky to be RB position coaches. I see both teams starting out 1-4.

I don't see him winning more than 8 games, 9 with some lucky bounces If Tyrod was on the Jags in 2017 when they had that elite defense and decent pieces on offense I could have easily seen him guiding a team like that to 10+ wins consistently. He doesn't turn the ball over, makes plays with his legs and can do just enough to manage a game in the check down department. But the Chargers are far from an elite team, they are more of a middling team and mediocre QB play with that roster in a recipe for 5-6 wins.

cage Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Well he was interim coach after Rex was canned, so he was the last guy out the door before a whole new regime came in. So its unlikely any cares what he took with him. McDermott re-started from zero Edited September 9, 2020 by cage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 It's a bit surprising to me, but I'm going to suggest this is standard operating procedure in the NFL coaching community. If it wasn't, he would probably be smart enough to purchase some blank binders and keep that stuff on the low down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
