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

What about Ryan Mallett or was he a BoB guy? We could always then turn him around for a first round pick.

Note: To avoid flaming, this whole post was written in jest.

Not sure if you realize he died recently… Unless that was also part of the joke… if so that’s messed up but also I can respect it

Patriots can't stop looking back into the past, this offense he runs has sucked everywhere without Brady.

Hired because he's familiar and being paid by the Raiders.

It wasn't bad with Matt Cassel.

Also, better than you might think with Cam Newton. Limited by bad QBing. True at the Raiders as well.

Cutler was a mean cuss and a big downer, so I don't blame McDaniels for that, and then he had Tebow? That was his own fault.

I love Jewels.
So glad he was a career Patriot.
Can we please get him on the staff in some capacity.

He had his best season with McD

McDaniels, Williams and Springer are a pretty solid trio of coordinators IMO

Are we still getting Pees as a senior defensive consultant?

No I didn't realise. That"s awful. What did he die of?

Drowned, wasn’t he saving someone?

 

[SlowGettingUp]

Great video. It's nuts how loose he is here talking to Edelman compared to what a jerk he was as head coach (at least the first time around).

2 thoughts:

1- I wonder if MacDaniels retools the system to be more like the one Ben Johnson ran in Detroit. A power run game with a more creative passing attack than it was under Belichick?

2-I wonder if Vrabel and the personnel department feel like it will be easier to get the OL they want with the vast majority of NFL teams using a zone run offense?

Cue the duck boats.

 

[Huckleberry1]

I agree

Both would immediately put us back in the playoffs.
Maybe McDaniels can fix Polk and Baker?

Baker couldn’t understand the West Coast offense, it’s hard to see him ever picking up EP.

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Mcdaniels had Edgar Bennett as his WR coach in Vegas. I’d like that hire.

Maybe we can do better but I hope Welker is a consideration for WR coach. Maybe he is the best available?

Edit: I haven't heard of him interviewing anywhere.

Quick look at that list and Godwin sticks out. Brady must have run some stuff we ran.

I read rumors months ago he was joining Bill in NC I would take him here over Any other coach WR coach at the moment.

Good point. Definitely crossover with Godwin… and he is the type of receiver who excels in this offense.
