PATRIOTS NEWS Vrabel's Staff Discussion Thread (Discuss related news here)

Mccown with a vet passing game type coordinator or some other vet in a position on offense wouldn't be the worst decision

Josh McCown at OC with Ken Dorsey at QB Coach.

Well McD is a free agent right now, so why can't he go visit with Maye and see how it would gel? If that hasn't happened already, no rule against it because he isn't currently in an NFL coaching position.

I have thought about this also - the biggest beneficiary of Josh McDaniels being hired would be Pop Douglas.

Don't forget Henry or whoever we Draft at TE. We would control the middle of the Football Field again.

Stole my thunder ross... your Exactly right under McDaniels pop would have 90 catches if not more out the slot... also gibby would be a pro bowl level RB as a 3rd down back too!

Yeah I heard him say that. Took him a minutes to say Yeah. Who knows where this is going, McD's offense needs some modernization imo.

That and it needs good players.

Schefter just stated on the Pat McAfee show that Vrabel “is the man” with Eliot Wolf working under him and Cowden as the assistant to Wolf. Just what I needed to hear. Love it. Lets make this team nasty!

Having Drake will be the modernization that he needs. Josh has had a year off he's refreshed.. his last 2 QBs were statue Mac Jones and frail Jimmy G... imagine how he could utilize Drake and his athletic abilities.

I would be shocked.

I don't want it to happen, but with the talk of potentially being Tommy Rees because of the familiarity with Stefanski's offense. Just a thought I had and I now realize how bad a thought. If anyone needs me I will be in the corner thinking about what I have done

And Vrabel agrees to talk up the collaboration with Wolf to keep Kraft happy. Everyone wins.

Yeah, though he was fired as an OC. As a QB coach he was successful developing Josh Allen under Brian Daboll.

IMO a key difference is that Bill seemed to work parallel to his scouts and would end up having a different draft board than his front office, and there would be conflict. Whereas Vrabel seems to empower his front office and say "this is what I want, go find it" and he will check in on their work frequently, but at the end of the day they will be doing the scouting and he will use their work as the basis to make decisions.

Tommy Rees has been promoted to Cleveland's OC.

So he is out.

Something happened with Bill. He may have had his own board, but he'd get it in shape with Pioli and probably Caserio, so they were on the same page. I don't think Bill meshed with Groh as much as the previous guys. We talk about the brain drain on the coaching side, but it was even worse on the personnel side.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

Wolf is not a Corleone.....

Tom Hagen

 

[bakes781]

Rees has been named OC at Cleveland. Bummer.

McCown might be the best bet then.
