My god, he's got the same "Jauron" before and after each game expression..........i hope it's not an omen. 2 Quote
MrEpsYtown Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Two thinks I like about this. First he's been a lot of places under a bunch of different inluences. Two, he was a backup QB at Tennessee, I like the idea of having a guy who played the position. That's all. He wont be calling plays or anything, but hopefully he helps Josh with his mechanics. Quote

That didn't seem to be the way he framed them. I enjoyed him in the closing moments discussing how they are also to study how the defense reacts, what coverages and if they show something they hadn't put on film. Quote
Jimmy Harris 69 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 (edited) Josh Allen: 6 interceptions, 5 fumbles and was sacked 14 times in 2024. QB rating 101.8 10 interceptions, 12 fumbles and was sacked 40 times in 2025. QB Rating 102.2 The Bills in general need to stop limiting their own possessions. The pressure on Allen to generate long slow drives to help a bad defense, led to him holding the ball too long. Some saw it as hero ball, to me it was Allen being put in a bad situation. Brady called offense preferred by Coach McDermott. I believe this new tandem of Brady, Carmichael and Hardegree will give the Bills a much better passing offense, especially in terms of routes and concepts. They will also provide the new coaching voices Allen clearly needs. Hardegree also called plays which makes him a better QB coach, that skill may come in handy down the line should Carmichael move on. Good hire, again.

But I've got to say, the hires they've made to fill out multiple vital assistant roles have been nothing short of outstanding, imo. I agree with you and felt the same, but man he’s landed some talent on the staff. I will be more than happy to have been wrong once this starts to succeed. go Bills 1 1 Quote

Maybe I'm wrong but not all QB coaches work much on mechanics. Instead, they break down film, help develop and install the game plan, discuss offensive philosophy, and maybe act as the QB's therapist and leadership mentor. The reasons for not getting involved in mechanics are varied. Some QB coaches just aren't expert in QB mechanics. Some don't want to eff with mechanics midseason. And some don't want to interfere with the biomechanic work QBs do with gurus like Jordan Poyer Palmer in the offseason. I've never played in the NFL so my head might be up my butt. But that's my understanding. Edited February 5 by hondo in seattle 3 Quote

But that's my understanding. Yeah that makes sense. I feel like Josh needs some of that because his mechanics get all out of whack at times. I feel like he shortarmed some stuff, not using his lower half, but he had a broken foot, so it's understandable. But you may be right, and this is just an extension of the OC, which is fine. 1 2 Quote
RkFast Posted February 4 Posted February 4 I know nothing about this guy, his coaching style or anything so please allow me to go and spend five minutes googling him, seeing what teams he worked on, and then determining that he stinks as an NFL coach. 1 Quote
