Joe Brady through 2 games

[Thrivefourfive]

It’s amateur hour in the coordinator’s nest yet again in Buffalo. I’m telling ya. All the other teams have experienced and proven offensive and defensive play callers. But not the Bills. We babysit those coordinators’ kids. But don’t question. Points points!! As if it’s not Josh Allen’s greatness doing all of that. 
 

I'm in a mood.

I personally love the way he uses everybody at his disposal. At some point, you will see every WR, RB, and TE out on the field, and I think this is a genius way of keeping everybody involved and feeling that they are a part of the Offense.

 

I'm sure Brady tells these guys like Hawes, Shavers, Elijah Moore, Ty Johnson:

 

These are the plays you are going to be in during the game, I want you to eat, sleep, and breathe these plays all week, and when they are called, I know you will execute your responsibilities on these plays flawlessly.

 

I think that aspect of Brady's Offensive Scheme is just great.

Being better than Daboll and Dorsey is a pretty low bar to set, particularly with an improved Josh Allen in 2024-25 versus 2020-23.  As an aside, Brady keeps designing runs for Josh which McD essentially ended for Dorsey in the first half of 2023.  Been back in their playbook since then, but I digress.

 

The philosophy is what it is and that calls for synching the offensive and defensive schemes closely together.  No one opposes the concept on offense of wanting to keep the ball, physically punish the opposing defense, having an offense which doesn't turn it over, keeps a run-pass balance, passes to max YAC/RAC, etc.  This paired with a defense which gets turnovers, can put pressure on the QB, and forces throws into that zone is all good....

 

But it's still a low margin for error philosophy no matter who the OC is and what he calls.  Particularly when the receivers are meh and struggle to get open.  Requires Josh to do more, put himself in the line of fire running it, and is so-so against better competition particularly in the playoffs, as we've seen the last 2 years. 

 

Brady has schemed the offense McD wants and Beane staffed.  It is what it is.   

 

I think Brady's balanced offense allows for a larger margin for error.  

 

As Dan Orlovsky says, this offense can do whatever it wants.  We can run, throw short, throw downfield...  Whatever the D is determined to stop, we can do something else.  

 

But only to an extent.  Because you're right that the receivers do sometimes struggle to get open, and when that happens, we rely on Josh to (1) thread needles, (2) scramble to give the receivers more time, and/or (3) transform a passing play into a positive QB run.  

 

I wish we had better separators and, at the same time, Brady schemed a better passing game.  Still, it's hard to argue with Brady's results: lots of points, few turnovers.

Well, I can't help but thinking we could have taken the kill shot earlier in the game if we opened things up near the back portion of the second half but we stuck to our run game and dink and dunk. We won! But against a sub-par Dolphins secondary I'm not sure that it needed to be that close. Love that we run it and control the ball so well but we can push the pedal to the metal and I think we aught to consider hitting it in high gear a little more often. We should pull away/close games earlier and I think we have opportunities if we adjust our playcalling--just a little bit!

Have Josh run the "k" gun
