Oh I agree.I don't even blame them. I'm not paying $750k for Tashard Choice either.
Yikes. NE's WR room was a train wreck last year.
So who is the actual WRs coach?
Allegedly he is a good recruiter.Not sure why he gets paid as much as he does already.
That would make sense. College football has this whole other recruiting dynamic to coaching that really doesn't matter at all in the NFL. Of course that's becoming less important with NIL money. Who needs to recruit when you can just offer a kid a bag of cash. But there is still a fair bit of recruiting going on since these are kids.Allegedly he is a good recruiter.
Well, I don't know about you, but I for one am outraged.Stephen Jones: “Anytime you’re gonna go down the road with a first-time head coach, you’ll always have the question marks, and it’s the McVays and the Shanahans vs. the first-time head coaches who don’t work. I would say this—Schotty has a lot more experience than some of these younger, quote-unquote wizards. He’s spent his whole life around coaching, with his father, then had 25 years of NFL experience. So we feel great. The reality is there are gonna be question marks until we change the narrative.”
Fucker loves his air quotes now.

Fat. Bloated. Grotesque.This fucker is aging horribly.
You can never go wrong there.I still blame Garrett.
Yeah, he supposedly has a legit photographic memory.Isn’t McVay some kinda savant. He never forgets anything or something like that?
Yea I have no notions of Adams being another McVay, my point is that many of these top offensive minds cut their teeth working more with the TE's/OL, with schemes predicated on the OL play, rather than just being some fancy QB passing game shit.Yeah, he supposedly has a legit photographic memory.
But I heard an interview recently with Andrew Whitworth where he said McVay was a unicorn in terms of being a natural leader and communicator and all those things beyond Xs and Os. Said he was like that from the very beginning. Just a real rarity that you can't duplicate.
Exactly, that's why for years I wanted the Shanahan/Kubiak style where basically every single play (save 3rd and 15 or something) looks like a run. That's why those simple-looking plays that hit a WR or a TE crossing back side seem to always be so open.The real secret to those types of offenses is having an exotic OL scheme that marries the run and pass, and muddies the ability of the defense to read run vs. pass.
Yea McCarthy talked about doing this for a year or two after Moore left but hiring a guy like Adams is the first tangible thing I've seen that indicates they're actually trying to move in that direction with an emphasis on the run game and OL play.Exactly, that's why for years I wanted the Shanahan/Kubiak style where basically every single play (save 3rd and 15 or something) looks like a run.

That was actually one of the very best things from that Schottenheimer PC, when he said we'll do a great job of marrying the run and pass and making every play look the same to the defense. Seems like when the Seahawks were rolling, Wilson did that where they stick the ball out like a handoff on almost every pass play.
Like you say, Adams may not be from that tree exactly, but that isn't the important part. The important part is making it harder for the defense to read. That will make things easier for everyone involved, receivers and Dak.
Edit, my slow ass was already typing this before you posted that last one...
Talking about running it more is one thing. Actually bringing in coaches who know how to do it is another. We will see if it all works out but at least it appears that there is an actual plan. Now they need to follow through with free agency and the draft on actually building it out. We all know Dak is a better QB when complimented by a strong run game. Hell all QBs are. But if the run game is strong, it could start to make some sense with Dak throwing the ball 20-30 times a game.Yea McCarthy talked about doing this for a year or two after Moore left but hiring a guy like Adams is the first tangible thing I've seen that indicates they're actually trying to move in that direction with an emphasis on the run game and OL play.
Who knows if it'll work but it's encouraging at least.
