Hoping it's just some contract details that need to be worked out.

 

Yeah, between the weather and the Senior Bowl, I'm hoping it's just a delay getting the contract and the bodies together.

 

Most of our local media seem fully bought in that Joe Brady's our guy and we got him

Sal Capaccio and WGR:

 

New ESPN reporter Getzenberg:

 

Matt Parrino of NYUp:

 

So if it's not really a "done deal" there's gonna be a lot of egg to go around

At QB coach?  Easily made opening.

You don't know much about the Brown family (Bengal's owners) do you?  Also Brady didn't become available until the middle of the season and last I looked the Bengals are still playing.  So no,there was no way that Brady was going to the Bengals.

This off season.

 

What are the Browns up to anyway?

They don't hire QB coaches unless they need one and they're very patient with whoever is caching their team. They don't fire one guy just to hire another.

 

 

 

 

 

Owners hire position coaches?  If so, doesn't sound like they are very patient with a HC/GM.....

So to be clear, they are "very patient" with their coaches, as long as the coaches let them micro-manage their coaching staff?

What CincyBillsFan says about Mike Brown not firing coaches is very true. How else do you explain how much futility they endured before firing Marvin Lewis? But there is another thing. The Brown family has very little money, relatively speaking. For example, they have no facilities that the team owns of any kind.  The county owns the stadium and there is no training complex. They practice in the stadium and the weight room is in the basement. They don’t even have a practice bubble, something even D3 college teams have. They also don’t pay a premium for assistants. They have the smallest scouting staff in the NFL. For many years, they had no college scouts at all. The only reason that they are winning now is that their core players are all on rookie contracts. Everyone talks about their cap space. They always have cap space and they never spend it. They won’t pay Tee Higgins. They might not pay Mixon.  It’s not that he cheap, it’s that the team is his only asset of any value.

I didn't understand the concept of an owner who is very patient with the HC also micromanaging his staff.  That's the opposite of patience.

 

 

Also, the Brown family isn't paying these contracts out of their personal bank accounts.  The shared revenue amount (free money revenue) last season was 274 million against a cap of 183 million.

Your heart is in the right place but this guy is obviously a troll.  BTW you did a nice job laying out the situation with the Brown family.

The shallow cross is going to be a big part of our offense…YAC!

 

Also, Ian Thomas is going to be our #2 TE. You heard it here first.

Don't hate it.  I think we are certainly going to get a FA TE, it's a loaded class.  I want Mo Alie-Cox.

He checks the "Former Panther?  Yup!" box.  But his stats are paltry.  Is he a blocking TE?

 

Mo Alie-Cox is slightly better in terms of production but also no great shakes.

He’s a good blocker with some pass catching potential. He should be cheap and decent competition for Sweeney. 
 

With the limited money we have, I don’t expect us to spend a considerable amount on a #2 TE.

I'm not sure Brady qualifies as a young whiz kid, but I think he might...

 

And that's just the type of guy I would like to fill the coaching staff with.

 

I hope we go more passing, more offense, more attack, more Josh involvement....and try to get 40 on the board in every game we play.

He was their project behind olsen.  That team also used CMC for a ton of targets.  Then last year they had anderson, moore, samuel get the majority of targets.  This season anderson/moore had like 270 targets.  I'm not sure if he's good or bad, but its a position that had like no role in their offense.  

 

When he came out i know the knocks were that he was raw but i seem to remember him having upside as a blocker.

I remember a lot of pre-draft smoke around Thomas here. I thought they really liked him. He is pretty much the perfect #2. 
 

And the shallow cross is something I am happy to see more of.

So CMC only played like 7 games in 2021, Olsen's been gone for 2 years, and yet this guy's targets have not increased.

 

If Brady wasn't designing plays to target this guy in Carolina while he actually played 60-65% of the snaps, why do we think they want to bring him here?

Sweeney may get the chance to come into camp, but unless he has a fantastic off-season and comes into camp lighting it up, he's gone.

 

It's possible Beane induces the Giants to swap a low draft pick or a low-end of the roster player if Daboll considers him useful as a player-coach to teach the system

Read up about him. This will be our new OC in 2-3 years. 

can’t discern if you spelled (red) or (reed). Offer up some context please.

OL coach is it I believe. 

And a very important one. We’ve heard nothing on this and everything we do offensively is predicated on success up front. Diamond studded PGC’s & gurus mean nothing if it can’t be blocked effectively. I’m hopeful it’s the biggest coach splash yet.

Burrow said they watched a lot of Brees film, Brady having just come from 2 years in NO under Payton.

 

Chase said they did weird hand-eye coordination drills like opening and closing doors and wearing goggles. 
 

Both had only good things to say in the article.

Because of the recent NFL rules that favor both QBS & WR's, it's stupid for a team not to take full advantage of crossing routes. In the old days receivers going over the middle were destroyed.  Now if it's a zone read you can still go crossing route without the fear of targeting. Part of the reason our YAC is so pathetic is how few crosses & screens we call.
