- I always placed the Super Bowl loss FAR more on McVay. They seemed utterly flustered and under-prepared when the Patriots- a team who played more man defense than anyone in 2018- mostly played zone. You don't have to be a 10-year NFL head coach to realize Belichick is very likely to do the opposite of what he's shown you or that you expect...
- "Sean is an amped-up guy; Jared was always calm and collected." That's fine. But, as a leader, you have to adapt to the communication and behavior styles of your people. And dressing down someone publicly will work on some. It won't on others. Leaders have to know the difference.
- 5 "direct managers" (QB coaches) in 5 years isn't helpful for any employee in any role.
- For better or worse, it's good to have a GM and Head Coach in sync. And Snead and McVay are. They trust each other. "We want to sign Jared now, Sean." "OK, I trust you." "This isn't working any more, Les. We need to move on from Jared." "Ok, Sean..."
- "Work ethic wasn't an issue; Goff put in the hours. It was a matter of understanding, diagnosing and applying what was coached." As we all thought...
- "As a quarterback, you can't lose games," a team source said. "We just needed him to manage it and do his part." This goes back to what was discussed last fall which was that Goff's issue was not about having more games like the 2018 TNF game vs. MIN or MNF game vs. KC. It was about having fewer clunkers. About elevating his
floor, not his ceiling.
- McVay and Wolford sync. And the kid works really hard. Not insignificant and great to have in your QB2...
- No way Goff was "blindside" by anything.
