Joe Brady Offensive Philosophy

In another life you and I were Eskimo brothers.

He loves the middle of the field. Also like that there are quick hot reads. Wasn't what's the case with Lashlee.

I don’t even know if he wasn’t ready for the NFL. It’s tough to do anything when you have Darnold turning the ball over 2-4 times per game. Also, bum *** Cam Newton makes it worse
 
LSU’s 2019 passing offense was predicated on Joe Burrow being highly accurate & throwing the ball to an armory of elite caliber WR’s, most of the concepts were pretty simplistic, but simple is often good in college.

For a 1 year rental, it could definitely work, as long as Mario doesn’t try to force Joe to become a power run style play caller, just let him throw the ball all over the field & the run game will open up based on Defenses being scared to Death of the Air attack.

LSU also had Clyde Edwards-Helaire as a 1400+yd back that season off just 215 carries at 6.6 yards per carry. Obviously, LSU’s OL was/is much better than ours so even with a dynamic back like Knighton we shouldn’t expect that kind of productivity from him as a pure rusher, his impact will be both as a RB & Receiving Back out of the backfield.

The Carolina experiment & his supposed lack of propensity for recruiting is concerning, but if he’s just the short term guy for next season that won’t matter too much overall, but if by some off chance he’s here for longer than a season or two it could be a red flag.

Hopefully, it works out if he’s the guy, we have a loaded offense & there’s no reason why we shouldn’t go on a run with the weapons we have, the only way to fck it up is by trying to remake the offense into something it’s not at the core of their identity.

Miami’s 2022 passing offense was predicated on Tyler Van Dyke being highly accurate & throwing the ball to an armory of elite caliber WR’s, most of the concepts were pretty simplistic, but simple is often good in college…………

Brady:

"No, Brady didn’t break down the new LSU offense for the coaches, and no, he didn’t teach them about RPOs either. LSU wants to keep some things secret.

The first thing he spoke about was spacing.

“Everybody wants the ‘let’s push the ball down the field,’ but it wears on defenses when you space them out, when you get the ball out fast, when the d-line’s having to rush and now the ball’s out and they can’t get to the quarterback,” Brady said.

He spoke for an hour about the concept, using Drew Brees highlights to explain the ins and outs of how to put the ball in your playmakers’ hands in space.

Brady speaks quickly but not in a hurry. “Sharp” is the word everyone who works with him uses, and he has a skill for breaking things down in a way that both respects your intelligence but makes it simple.

While he didn’t tell trade secrets, one could still pick apart the principles he believes in. He likes sending all his receivers out, and he wants quick throws that neutralize the pass rush.

He believes in taking yards when you can get them and not being afraid to settle for a nice gain instead of always taking shots downfield. One of his favorite expressions time and time again was:

“I like checkdowns. Checkdowns lead to first downs. First downs lead to touchdowns.”

He also repeated “If they’re gonna give us a gift, take the gift,” in reference to taking free yardage when it’s there and not overthinking it.

As he ran through the Saints film, he made sure to consistently joke how Brees makes everything a coach does look smart. The videos showed Brees fitting balls in perfect spots even without that much space.

He explained some of the lessons learned from his time in New Orleans, like how Brees always practices by going through all his progressions even if he throws it to the first read. He still just goes through the rest to train his mind and feet for when the first read isn’t open.

Brady said one of the most important things he learned from Sean Payton and the Saints was that “It’s not about beating coverages. It’s about beating who you want to beat in the coverage.”

Then, Brady ended his time on the stage and was again grateful for the fact he’d be this much of a focus. It’s something new to Brady, who’s been behind the scenes for all of his quick six-year rise up the coaching ranks.

But as credit continues to flow toward Brady for all the ideas he’s bringing to LSU football, the focus on Brady doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. It’s just beginning.

“My door’s always open,” he told the coaches, letting them know he’s glad to help and he’s looking for all the help he can find too.

And after it was over, Brady hung out for a long while, talking to the coaches surrounding him to pick his brain."

I read that Matt Rhule fired Brady because Rhule wanted a stronger, more consistent running game. Brady insisted on throwing the ball.

Worries me a bit.
yea this has been my biggest criticism

I mean you have Cam and PJ walker and throwing ain't working as we're losing games badly, your HC tells you to run more and you keep throwing at a higher rate with inept QB's? yeah that's strange. It's also verified because Rhule went to the media and said they were gonna run it 30+ times a game then they ran it 10-15 times and looked like idiots the next few weeks
 
I was just told that Miami threw more money at Brady than any of his other offers.

Anybody else heard that?

About 3 weeks ago I heard a little bird say that when Mario was negotiating his contract he wanted $3.5 million for each coordinator. I dont know what that little bird's source was but that little bird has chirped correctly in the past.

All Im saying. :noidea:


Edit: Correct number is $3.5 million combined for both OC & DC.

if he's as good as he was at LSU in 2019 his offense will recruit itself. he doesn't even need to leave campus all week as far as i'm concerned.

Glad you brought up Helaire

He was a beast and gets overlooked a lot in this whole conversation

I have some LSU nerds as friends and their reaction is kinda like “we don’t really know” when it comes to his capabilities

But I think he’s an intriguing name for sure
