“We’ve got to build a foundation (on offense) this year, OK? This isn’t about a quick fix,” Judge told reporters in Mobile, Ala. “This isn’t about getting somebody in here who’s got some magic solution or some sexy offensive name in the paper in terms of, you know, what they may be running. This is about finding someone who’s consistently performed, who’s gotten the most out of his players, different players, over the course of time, in different circumstances, and that we can lay that base for our players to build on for years to come.”
“Well the first thing we want to be able to do is run the ball, OK?” Judge said. “You’ve got to be able to run the ball, and (Garrett) has done that successfully in Dallas throughout the course of his career. Jason brings with him, look, a lot of experience in a lot of different systems. So one thing he’s been able to do is draw from his experience as both a player and a coach in different systems, and really create a player-friendly system that creates multiples within game plans.”
“That’s what I want to build as this base for this team,” he said. “It’s important to me that we get this right, that we build the base of this offense correctly for the young players that we have in this organization. And that’s for all the ones you’re thinking about: the skill players, the offensive line.”
Judge did not say whether or not Garrett was his first choice for OC. He did say Patrick Graham “was honestly my first choice” for defensive coordinator, and a huge selling point was Graham’s flexibility in scheme while remaining effective, be it week-to-week or in-game.
“He does a lot of things on defense that work to the strength of your players,” Judge said of Graham. “He’s definitely very multiple in terms of his philosophy and also how he can adjust week by week by game plan as well as within the game to make adjustments.”
“Look, I hope everybody on our staff has options to advance their career at some point,” Judge said. “That means business is good. We want our coaches to be wanted by other people. It means we’re doing a good job here.
“This isn’t about getting somebody in here who’s got some magic solution or some sexy offensive name in the paper in terms of, you know, what they may be running."
from the "we dont need to make big sexy moves" pre-2011 season.
followed by "versatility" which jerry always spoke to. unfortunately for him he also liked "projects" more than "players" as carl banks might say and we "lost" more than "won" utilizing that "strategy"
But seriously, Judge seems level headed. This team has the 4th pick in the draft for a reason: lack of talent at key places like the OL, Pass Rush, FS and LB.

This quote should tell you Garrett was not his first choice for OC.

Or maybe the question was never asked, and Leonard is trying to stir shit up, as per usual.
Enough of the soliloquies. Draft OL in Rounds 1 and 2 and get this ship righted. Becton for OLT in RD 1 and Cushenberry for C in RD 2. Sign Conklin to play RT and away we go. That would be a nice start.

Yes, count me in the who gives a shit contingent.

Come on. I am happy with Garrett. I'm just saying I don't accept what Mara says as gospel.
Hopefully it works out for the best. But when a guy says the DC was honestly his first choice and says nothing of the sort about the OC, that concerns me a bit.

Just curious. What's your implication here? That Mara pushed hard for Garrett because of the experience card?

No Conklin. If we do draft Becton to play LT, we slide Solder to RT.
My dream scenario is for us to drop from #4 to #5 (Miami) and get their #2. This way we draft say Becton and an OC and defensive player in round 2.
My only issue with Becton right now is his weight, of course.

Or it could be that his first choice wasn't available.
with parsing through words to try and find meaning to confirm a bias is that it just leads to a rabbit hole:

This quote should tell you Garrett was not his first choice for OC
We are now being critical of things unsaid instead of what has actually been said. If Judge says, "Honestly, Jones played really well today" will that mean that by implication other players were complete shit? If he says "Honestly, the Eagles offense is on a roll now" will that be bulletin board material for him shitting on their D?
No more square peg, round hole.
You heard Jerry Reese in those quotes? Care to elaborate? Do you mean the 2-time Lombardi trophy JR?
why? how so?

It is what it is. We all have our quirky words and verbal ticks. Just thought it was funny.

Because I see that groundwork already being alluded to for some reason.

It could turn out to be a very good thing. It's not like Graham has that level of experience.

Confirmation bias is a bad thing on this board.
