Brad Idzik

if Nick Sirianni gets the boot.

Brad Idzik from Carolina.

He's the OC calling plays with Canales when Canales gave it up.

If Bryce looks as good as he is right now all season, and the offense keeps putting up numbers, why not? Seems like a good sleeper candidate.

And I would be on the optimistic side.

Uh, and, and here's why I would be on the optimistic side, okay? Um, we have seen that, number one, Brad Idzik as the play caller has made a massive difference leaning into Bryce Young as a deep passer, as a vertical passing game quarterback.

Mm.

And we saw that was how they had success against the Rams, uh, even on fourth down.

Uh, and I think putting Brad Idzik in as the play caller this year, th- we're seeing a meshing there of Bryce Young's strengths and Idzik's tendencies.

And we also have only seen Coker and McMillan on the field together, uh, just briefly.

Coker had that big start to the season, and they said, "Oh, Tedd Rick McMillan's still the number one receiver in this offense.

I keep hearing these mailbags about the Eagles' best candidate for the new head coach in, if Nick Sirianni gets the boot.

And Panther fans have known that for a very long time, right? And so when I watch them, um, I see Bryce Young being as comfortable as he ever has been in his professional career.

I see a strong rapport, uh, between Bryce and Brad Idzik, where Idzik is calling what Bryce wants a- and what works for him.

He's getting him outside the pocket sometimes.

Like, you know, uh, he's 5'10", right Scott? He's always been a shorter quarterback, so he-

I understand you can make the connection to Tua and Russell Wilson, and maybe there is truth to it, but I, I don't know.

I feel like the play calling, if you're gonna give somebody credit for it, it has to go to Brad Idzik at this point.

Yeah.

He's the man who was calling plays.

We gotta go to the chat

... maybe I'm underplaying it.

May- maybe Daryl Bevell is an oversized role in what the Panthers are doing offensively, but if I don't have any way to know it, I'm giving the credit where I feel the credit is due, and that's Brad Idzik, man.

I don't have a problem with that.

They're not necessarily following with Quinion, though.

It is really about alignment and how you want to move these guys around, and I think that Brad Idzik has done a pretty decent job of mixing some of that up, especially in these last couple of games.

So I'm looking forward to it.

I just need Jalen Coker to be 100%, though, because that urgency that we talked about, firing off the line and getting up on the defender's toes, that is something that he has to have, and he has to be able to hit that second gear.

Maybe it's Jalen Coker on a couple of those plays that really attack that intermediate.

And then you have to account for TMAC getting one-on-one.

I think that those are all really cool wrinkles that you can see Brad Idzik unravel here in this football game.

And then the one negative that I want to point out here, this was the biggest negative for the entire analytics here, is heavy personnel.

You let professionals do their thing with the same people in the same place and the same terminology, and you improve the personnel around them, and things get better? What? What? I mean, I think that stability has been key for Bryce.

I mean, even though they're changing play callers from Dave Canales to Brad Idzik this year, that's gone smoothly because it ain't like Brad Idzik just parachuted in.

He's been in his ear all the time for the last three seasons.

So I think that continuity of people, that continuity of language, that continuity of the framework of the offense and what they want to do has all helped.
