DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum The Browns QB coach...

So he never mentioned the Browns or Stefanski in his Tweet but you came to that conclusion? You may have a future as a writer for TMZ. To connect the dots first you need some actual dots to connect.

So far, it appears that Watson has a "Personal QB Coach", Quincy Avery...

In addition to Avery, the Browns look to have named someone named Ashton Grant, who has ONLY 3 YRS OF NFL EXPERIENCE, doing something.

Then some of you wonder why Watson looks like crap...Watson does not have a QB coach.

My suggestion, make Jim Schwartz Watson's QB coach in addition to Schwartz's DC responsibilities.

What NFL Franchise pays 1/4 billion on a QB but forgets to name a qualified QB coach to teach the Browns QB how the franchise wants the QB to play the position...ONLY IN CLEVELAND where analytics is king.

Alex Van Pelt added QB coach to his OC responsibilities when Drew Petzing left to become Arizona's (IIRC) OC.

Exactly......

Kevin Stefanski is adding his former Vikings boss Bill Musgrave as a senior offensive assistant to help with the unit while offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt adds quarterbacks coach back to his repertoire.

Van Pelt has 18 years of coaching experience after nine years as an NFL quarterback. He spent four years as the QB coach for the Green Bay Packers coaching Aaron Rodgers. He then spent two seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals before joining Cleveland in 2020.

Oh the humanity!

So first you complained the team didn't have a competent QB coach and now you're saying he might have too many QB coaches? Maybe you should make up your mind.

Could be Mac. That is a lot of sensory overload.

The private guy is just in the off season. My feeling is that is more the physical training as it pertains to the QB position, but i don't know for sure. There is probably some mechanical work, I just don't know how much.

As for the Browns staff, one would think, or at least hope all the info being thrown at the guy is consistent.

This is just my feeling, but I don't think Watson is a Stefanski QB. Stefanski still runs a Viking O, with 2 TE's and 3-4 reads on every pass play. I am not saying Watson is dumb, but i do think he has to take a tick longer to process what he sees. He needs a 2 read O. Make the 2 reads, if it isn't there, break from the pocket and see what happens from there. He then has the option to hit some check down, hit a broken play pass, or just run for what he can and slide.

He was lights out with that at both Clemson and Houston. There is no logical reason for him to be this gummed up unless we are doing something to help him be that way.

Chubb isn't here anymore. There is no reason to make the backs job easier. Spread the darn field, create some throwing lanes or open the field up to allow Watson to gain an easy 8 yards.

Are we trying to win games or are we trying to force feed an uncomplimentary O to the QB?

Or it could be that Haslam said go out and get him. You can travel down a long road of "could be's" if that is the road you wish to travel. That doesn't really mean anything either way. I mean some people think the earth could be flat.

Houston Texans Double The Size Of Their Analytics Department Jun 1, 2020, 9:00am CDT

You were saying?

I don't think being "slow" reading the middle of the field is a Watson (specific) problem. I think it simply is the fact that more congested parts of the field are harder to read for everyone. Keeping TEs and extra OL in lets opponents crowd the box. There are more interruptions of sight lines in front of you and there is frequently more movement behind it. One also can't read while turned around for a play fake.

I also think keeping (pass catching ) TEs inline is kind of like putting WRs up against the sideline. No one runs formations with receivers starting clear out there. The adjacent OL, similarly to the sideline, almost acts as an extra defender. TEs can't go through the OL which makes it easier to jam them and allows defenders to play outside leverage without really having to worry about getting beat to the inside.

I'm hoping the gameplan was a reaction to the Conklin injury and it has been scrapped after Monday night's travesty.

Saying spread the field dosesn't mean you place receivers out on the sidelines.

I know. That's why I said no one does that. It'd be silly. I feel like keeping TEs that you expect to catch passes lined up against an OT has similar drawbacks.

Edit: Travis Kelce gets most of his production from the slot. A lot of people seem to expect similar production from Njoku. To me, it seems that more slot usage would make that more likely.

You can see some splits of Kelce's production by alignment further down here:
