Is Joe Brady the main issue on offense?

joe Marino reviews all 22- he calls out Joe Brady.  Unprepared, and did not make adjustments.

JOE BRADY

 

 

Joe is PIS*ED off!

No. Not even close. 

 

The main issue is talent at the skill positions. 100%. 

 

The only real criticism I'd make of Brady is that I think the last two weeks he has taken the ball out of James Cook's hands way too much. The offense works when James cooks. It works much less well when it becomes reliant on receivers to get open. 

 

This actually looks a LOT like the Tom Brady offense his final year in New England. That was not on Josh McDaniels and this is not on Joe Brady. Can you nitpick at a play call here and there? Yep, you can. I didn't like the sweep vs New England because it was early and we were moving. I wasn't delighted they called it vs the Falcons either, but in that game it was desperation because we could not move the football. 

 

Allen didn't play very well in Atlanta (Jeff Ullbrich always seems to cause him issues) but it isn't on Josh either. 

 

The main problem with the offense is Brandon Beane.

yup

 

fyi this is the one i was talking about. Allen widens Cook presnap and it's there. it's blocked up well, Coleman doesn't get a perfect rub on the LB but this ball needs to go to Cook

 

 

Yea I called that one in the GDT. I don't know why Josh came off it. A combination of that defense (against a DC who has caused him issues before) and a lack of trust in almost everything going on around him. The OL didn't have a good day and I think Josh is fed up of his receivers at this point. Even when he is escaping and keeping plays alive STILL nobody is getting open. Time and time and time again that has happened over the last 3 or 4 weeks. Plays where the past couple of years Josh has got out and made something happen and he is getting out, has his eyes downfield, finding nothing and is just having to scamper out of bounds for 3 or 4 yards.

Joe has a pathetic short yardage playbook.  I’m sick of his “cute” offense.  Two weeks in a row we ran a complicated Jet Sweep with JAGs,both times fumbled.  We can’t scheme WR matchups, too little play action, abandons run.  

I am going to go out on a limb and suggest that having decent wideouts just might help.

Two things can be true.  
 

Yes Beane has woefully neglected the Wide Receiver position, besides the Diggs trade 5 years ago.  I’m far from the only one, that wants us to get Josh great WRs.  Watch the All 22, even through poor schemes, WRs got open.

 

Brady was unprepared for the Falcons.  We know the Falcons blitz more than any other team.  You think Joe would have planned for it.  
 

Defense got pummeled in the first half.  Then Bobby made adjustments, and our D shut down the Falcons in the second half.  Brady didn’t make any adjustments, besides taking Cook out of the game the last 9 minutes. Bills had 3 chances to tie the game.  The first play, James gained 4 yards.  And that was the end for Cook.  ***** inexcusable!  ***** Brady’s “cute” game plans!  Brady cannot scheme WRs open, like most every other Coordinator.

 

In short- Beane has neglected  the offense.

 

Brady is incompetent imo

Which is a huge problem to correct at this point in the year if Pegula is thinking about pulling the plug on Beane and McD. It would probably come in January, like he did before.

 

Realistically, we need two offseasons to correct this lack of talent and change schemes to something that works while also changing coaching staffs and all of that Noise. Josh would be like 33 if that happens so you (in theory) have another small Super Bowl window with Josh in his mid thirties before it slams shut.

He wasn't on the field for any 3rd downs.  Johnson is better at blitz pickup so we took our second biggest threat on offense off the table.

If only the coach was creative enough to use 2 RBs at the same time? Lol
