Will Jay's offense follow Scott's lead?

[HailGreen28]

The title of this thread puzzles me. I assume McCloughan is drafting for our system, offense, defense, special teams. The schemes that our coaches run. If Gruden wants better power run blocking, McCloughan should draft accordingly, and vice versa if pass blocking. Even going "BPA", it's based on your system. If BPA overall is a small but fast 3-4 inside linebacker, but you run a 4-3, he's probably not BPA on your board.

As far as playcalling, that's up to coach. The only influence McCloughan has is how well the players he drafts can run the play, right?

I pray that McCloughan and Gruden are on the same page period. Otherwise we will continue to suck regardless of who "follows whose lead" in the front office. I hate that there is any doubt about this.

I don't think there's a ton of doubt there. Sure, people will wonder and never truly know how close the two are, but from the outside looking in they seem to be working together. A lot of the same things being said by both of them etc.

I also recall one of McCloughan's first press conferences where he stressed the importance of working with coaches and getting players that fit not only the head coaches description but also the positional coaches descriptions.

We've seen a lot of big talk around Redskins park with no results, with McCloughan on board I feel we're closer than ever to getting some legitimate results to back all the off season chatter.

Agreed, never said different.

Certainly playcalling is up to the HC.

You could be absolutely right and McCloughan influence may not extend to offensive philospohy. I am guessing you've heard Scott's numerous comments about the style of football he wants? Scott's comments in relation to Jay's tendencies is the crux of my question in this discussion thread. Whether or not there will be a change in playcalling/gameplan.

And guessing by your statement above about the limits of Scott's influence you aren't expecting a paradigm shift in offensive philosophy to something more similar to that of Seattle or 49ers?

My only aim in this thread was to have a discussion about what next year's offensive philosophy(pass heavy/balanced/run heavy) might be.

Do you really believe this could have been......overlooked?
And if Jay cannot make it happen, guess what the next competition is?
