Joe Brady Nuggets from Penn St Insider

[Mat68]

 

Penn State insider published story.  Brady’s name has been floated around the last few weeks for the Penn State opening.  Rumor is that Brady was getting pushed by Terry Pegula.  As a board of trustees member Pegula has some say.  I thought this is interesting with respect to the Bills.  Mcdermott doesn’t seem as bullet proof.  Without Ben Johnson Brady is likely the next hot OC in football.  He is getting mixed reviews currently, but if Buffalo moved on from Mcdermott it seems Brady would be Pegula’s preferred choice.  I haven’t given much thought about that scenario but it doesn’t seem far fetched.

Regardless if we keep Brady or McDermott or not, our next HC has to be an innovative offensive mind to be paired with Josh for the rest of his career

Agreed but before now wasn’t thinking about that being Brady.

Joe Brady is killing the Bills offense.  I can’t wait until he leaves, and when/if we sign an intelligent offensive coordinator who doesn’t design cute plays, but a real pro offense.

[The Cincinnati Kid]

Mike McDaniel should be looking for an OC job with an actual QB. He isn’t afraid of the Buffalo winters. If Brady leaves, I would welcome McDaniel as OC. He can run the O and McD and Babich (or whoever) can handle the Defense.

I’ve been thinking McDaniel would a great addition.  Miami says he’s lasting the season.  I was hoping he’d get canned quick, and Bills could add.  He has a great offensive mind.

Well designed plays. Not cute.

I think mean and mc derm would be a good combo

 

Guy is a wizard getting backs, tight ends, and crazy formations to work.

 

They would be the exciting but also ball control hero o we need but don't deserve

Scoring a franchise-record in points last season wasn’t good enough for you?

His offense has been toast since they changed how they call presnap motion and he hasn't been smart enough to adjust. He frequently abandons the run for extremely long stretches of the game even though Achane is their best weapon and players just don't seem to respect him. Why would we want that here?

Do OCs have to speak at pressers?  I certainly hope not, if the Bills decide on OC Eggbert. 🤨

Who cares what he did last year?

 

Do we get to carry over those points to this year?

 

Im not out on Brady, but this Offense has been meh this year and doesn’t scare anyone .. even with the best player in football as his QB. 
 

The reason I’m not completely out is because of the WR situation he’s been given.  
 

Id want to see him with a legit outside WR before I’m ready to think of him in any long term capacity.

Dalton Kincaid dropping the ball- season over is my takeaway.  
 

I don’t want an offense that has failed multiple times in playoffs.  The past two playoffs Bills D made stops late in the 4th, giving the Offense a chance to win the game and advance.  The Offense failed again and again.  I want a better Bills  playoff offense, don’t you?

 

Bills - Josh and Cook especially, set a franchise scoring record, despite Joe Brady and his overly simple schemes.

 

Fun Fact- Joe Brady never called the plays at LSU.  I’m not even sure he called plays in Carolina

Wishful thinking.  IMO McD will still be here after Josh retires…Pegula thinks he walks on water.

Yea, I do give him credit for a full 17 game season versus all the sudden saying we need an OC change because we’ve had two games in a row where we haven’t scored 30 points.  Talk about a short leash.

[JimBob2232]

Frankly, I dont see Brady at PSU.  He does have connections there - and is a hot coordinator.   But he really hasn't been a college guy - save one year as a GA in state college, and a dream year with Burrow/Chase at LSU.  Old adage - surround yourself with great people. He has.  Burrow, Chase, Josh Allen...who wouldn't be successful???  I dont think PSU is looking for a guy like him.   Matt Rhule, Brohm, even Deboer or Drinkwitz is far more likely.  

 

The oddball here is how Pegula plays it.  He is a HUGE donor for Penn State.  So if he is pushing him...things get more interesting.

Of course I’d love if the offense was never stopped and got a TD on every series.  I don’t know what the fun fact of the play calling at LSU or Carolina has to do with anything.  He’s calling plays here now and the offense has actually scored a lot of points under his direction, with a lot fewer turnovers than when Dorsey was running the offense.  Yea, the last two games haven’t been pretty, but otherwise this offense has scored as many points as any Bills offense ever.

[BigAl2526]

For me, the question at this point is, whether Brady is completely his own man, or does his play calling reflect Sean McDermotts philosophical biases?

I give him credit too, but I also need to see more because he’s running the same concepts as last year and this is the first time, as an OC, that he needs to counter what’s being done to him.

 

So far, he has time to adjust, but he hasn’t shown that ability to do so yet.

Greg Cosell is one of the great football minds.  He is a master of breaking tape, studying players, and offenses.  Go to 5:40 of this, and Cosell breaks down what’s wrong with Brady’s cute system.  Bills D is ultra easy to defend, no one is scared

 

 

 

[Pete]

The Fun Fact is I don’t think Brady ever called plays in college or the pros.  He has zero experience calling plays before becoming Bills Offensive Coordinator.
