Cover 1 - Joe Brady 4 Strong Formation

I think Brady has done good work with this offense.  Every week I am getting closer to thinking Brady is IT.  A good week against the Cowboys and I am there.  This is some good stuff here.  Its only 4 plays but really good stuff and it shows Brady throwing a wrinkle to get a look you want after a defense adjusted to the same basic play earlier.

Brady has done alright. The four strong motion gimmick worked for almost an half and then KC adjusted and Brady had nothing. Similar thing in Philly, offense had early success and then folded when adjustments were made.

 

Buffalo was brutal in the 2nd half vs KC because Brady was predictable, just like Dorsey. The bubble screens were obvious, emptying the backfield and trying to run Josh at one point fooled nobody…just boring and easy to see coming.

The thing I would disagree on here is the bubble screen thing actually did work.  Josh just took too long to come off Diggs and didn't see Davis wide ass open streaking to the end zone.  If he came off Diggs a half second sooner then that was an easy TD instead of incomplete to Kincaid who was covered tight.  Also Buffalo scored 14 points in the second half of the Eagles game and it should have been 17 if not for the missed FG.

I honestly think that was an internal

pressure, or obligation if you will, that josh had to throw the ball to Diggs. Seems like that has been an issue all year for josh at times. Especially in the broncos game. 
 

This offense is way more successful when we spread the ball around

Jets Eagles KC —> Top D’s, couple good teams

 

Brady gets A-  

 

we forget Dorsey no score 1H’s!?!  coaching offense 1H is based on good O coach weekday plan; 2H adjustments 

 

Wait, I need my Little Orphan Annie Decoder pin to figure this out.

Brady does a lot of mixed personnel usage. We’ve seen everything from 13 BIG (two TEs and 6th OL) in condensed Jumbo looks to 11 in an empty formation.

 

A lot of the success we’ve seen has been Allen just taking good match ups.

 

We still sorely lack the ability to push the ball down the field, or have guys get open with pure skill alone. 
 

I am very far from simply wanting Brady to take the OC job permanently. Allen’s unreal ability continues to mask a lot of the issues we would passing game, and there are many layers of blame you could cast.

Or 21 if the horse collar had been called, or even intentional grounding not called.

Wasn't that what Payton Manning use to say all the time ? They only had really a handful of plays that they used over & over again because they worked & then throw in a wrinkle as far as a motion every now & again to throw the dog off the scent of what they were doing then go back to it .

   Can’t argue but this was Brady’s 3rd or 4th game as OC.

   Tome wasn’t built in a day and it will take time for him to hit his stride and even longer to excel.

    I have to say I pleasantly surprised by his second OC stint .

For 4 strong to really work, it is important which receiver remains on the weak side of the formation.  It is most effective when it is a guy that can beat one on one coverage and/or requires double coverage.  For the Bills, Diggs should be the weak side guy.  He wins often against single coverage and if he draws double coverage, someone on the strong side should be open easily.  Davis on the weak side is not as effective.
