So, I’ve seen some say that Brown will likely ease Bryce into different concepts since he has been running Frank’s offense all year. I’ve been thinking about the situation that TB finds himself in and it’s got me thinking a little differently:

TB was hired as an “up and coming offensive guru, and after calling only getting the reigns for 3 games he’s in danger of being one and done with the Panthers unless he, not just makes marginal improvements, but WILDLY improves the offense. Because what new HC would not want to come in and either call plays himself or bring in his own guy, especially after the product we put on the field this year. And what OTHER team would watch our offense and go, “yeah, I need some of THAT in my life.”

So, to me, despite the season being lost in terms of playoff chances, Thomas Brown is going to be fighting for his (immediate) future as a play caller. If he wants to keep this job, or get another offer as an OC in the league next year, he’s going to have to not just “sink or swim” but it’s like he’s in a “sink or fly a rocket ship to the moon” type of situation.

If I’m Thomas Brown, Bryce Young’s development isn’t even my #1 priority anymore—I don’t have that luxury. I need points, and a lot of them. Period.

So I’m expecting that we come out with a scheme that looks considerably different this week with a lot of motion, RPOs, play actions m, boots and deep shots.

The Bucs are also 27th in the league against the pass, so this could be a good opportunity for a get right game for our passing offense. I’m hammering the overs this week for Bryce and the WRs.

    I just hope they try something different. Hopefully TB was just implementing Reich’s scheme and this week will be focussing on making the offense more his own. Hopefully see some of the RPO’s that Bryce excelled at in college

    If you mean offensive resurgence as we score two offensive touchdowns instead of one…I’m onboard.

        If we double our touchdowns every week, next year we’ll win the Super Bowl with over 67 million points! That’s nearly 2700 TDs per second!

    I think Brown will do good. Never understood why Frank had a problem with him. Frank being the play caller was 0 and 9, Brown was 1 and 1. One of them was 50% successful the other one was zero 🤣

    Mmmmm this is some delusional fan hopium so pure I can snort it through the screen. Having a great coordinator doesn’t matter much when all 11 guys on offense are terrible. Thats what’s so funny about fans: they think coordinators are more important than the actual players. They’re like the whipped cream and cherry on the ice cream but in this case the ice cream has been left out in the sun all day: adding fresh whipped cream and cherry to the melted gooey mess won’t help much.
