Joe Brady Nuggets from Penn St Insider

Before the draft, some of us commented on regression towards the mean on turnovers as one reason the WR room needed to be augmented in order to increase the likelihood of explosive plays. Folks weren't interested, and Beane chastised radio hosts and played the Josh Allen card like a permanent get out of jail license against any criticism. It was the defense that needed fixing. Well, what if the scheme is tired and broken? 

 

It doesn't help that the GM has a spotty record at best on day 1 and 2 picks.

Ya this is exactly it. Unless Myles Garrett and an all pro corner walk through this door, the scheme is the thing that needs fixing.

 

Instead they ignored the offence like you said and tied up 90 percent of resources on the defence.

 

The result? Defence still sucks and offence has regressed because they are actually getting a normal amount of negative plays

Last year I was pretty frustrated with Brady. More towards the playoffs in particular. I just kept my mouth shut of course as I can't argue with the success that the offence was having.

 

Every single thing went right for the offence last year though. Josh had the least amount of negative plays by a QB in NFL history last season, and it is just a very tough formula to replicate.

 

We are now seeing what this offence can look like when there are a normal amount of negative plays that happens for a team, with not many explosive plays in the passing game.

So then the ridiculous amount of penalties 30 in the last 3 games, dropped passes, missed tackles & lack of urgency in their play which I might add is ALL on the players has absolutely nothing to do with this it's all just Brady ?

 

And I would bet your probably one that isn't opposed and haas spoken out to get rid of McD also correct ?

I can't answer for that fella, but is it really ALL on the players? Doesn't lack of discipline ultimately end up a coaching responsibility as well? 

Regardless, when McD brought in some coaches with experience that seemed capable of providing critique and perhaps innovation and change to his system, it was plausibly part of the Process where weaknesses were continually addressed. Not too much evidence that has happened.

 

Brady is middle of the road, with some exasperating tendencies. Whether he stays or goes, the WR room needs to be better.

 

I like McDermott as a person, and hoped he would have success. Maybe it will still happen, but right now, there ought to be questions. There sure should not be complacency and the thought that no matter what, the present regime is immune to substantial criticism or the possibility of being replaced if the team flames out or has another disappointing post-season.

The way he handled the Baker Mayfield situation, he screwed himself.

Yeah, I follow the Browns and at this point have no confidence he knows how to develop ANY quarterback, let alone Mayfield.  Definitely feels jaded against Shadeur for whatever reason and has limited Gabriel to half field reads and shorter throws.  We'll see, open to changing my mind.

I know, the drop to 4th overall in both points and yards is totally unacceptable!!!!

I want him to be great.  I hope he’s amazing today. 
 

But right now he runs a Brock Purdy game manager Offense that is extremely predictable. 
 

That won’t cut it when it matters unless our Defense gets a lot better.

im really not confident that McDermott isn’t clipping Brady’s wings some 

 

and we know factually that beane has handcuffed him at wr. 
 

At this crossroads, I’m confident that Brady has concepts like deep digs. Are you confident we have the talent and desire to play more vertically?

Chris Brown mentioned that in the discussion about maybe the Bills are purposefully playing ball control offense to take pressure off the D and I totally agree.  I still wonder if that's why we played so bad against Atlanta; the offensive players are getting tired of it.  Cosell made a point that willfully always playing ball control close games gets mentally exhausting.

 

At this point I feel like not playing more vertically is emboldening defenses.  As Cosell mentioned, even if you don't have the receiver talent, you still have to show it.  Plus Allen is so good at placing a ball that alone may allow some vertical success.

Absolutely.  It’s very clear that Brady is not good enough.  

Would you have not hired him as OC to

begin with then?  Or fired him at some

point?  If the latter, when would you have fired him?

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. 

 

 

I really don’t think this is such a good move. Brady has not been good so far this year and this hardly represents a change.

I'm not sure how the missed tackles has anything to do with the Joe Brady conversation lol.

 

No it's not all Brady. But he's been a problem this year. I would suggest listening to the last two all 22 breakdowns by Joe Marino on the falcons and patriots game and you'll see how stubborn he is with game planning and play calling.

 

I would have gotten rid of McDermott, yes. Would I RIGHT now? No cause it's in the middle of the season and I don't just base my opinions on emotions cause they've lost two in a row. But yes I would have fired him after 13 seconds or the 2022 bengals loss.

When in mixed company you can also substitute chicken scratch.

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

 

Right? And the "real pro offense" he's looking for probably looked a lot like what Ken Dorsey was doing. Longer developing routes and the mindset of, "hey we just line up and do our thing and see if they can stop us and if they stop us then, uh, I will throw my headset!"

 

Brady has gotten a little ahead of himself at times but generally has been better at making adjustments.

Baker has actually said that Stefanski was pushing him to play when he probably shouldn't have. Then when they finally shut him down it's been reported that Stefanski wanted to move on to Watson.
