Brady leaving sucks, but O has said countless times, Ensminger is the one who’s called the plays all season. So why exactly are we worried about Brady leaving?


Because all signs point to Brady being the one in the room that filled every gap in designing an attack that had answers for every defense.

And All signs point to Brady being the one who was able to take that design and implement it so effectively in the field.

That shite isn’t easy.

Also, Brady was the guy who, if things worked out, could have been someone to take over the program. He looked like a guy either the horsepower to do it.

“Calling the plays” is such a ridiculously oversimplification of the genius that we saw on offense this year. It’s like 15% of what made the system special.

Our hope is that whatever Brady brought to the table was somehow absorbed by Ensminger...or that Brady simply filled Ensmingers gaps and that Ensminger did the heavy lifting...or that Munoz was a much bigger key to the implementation of the scheme with Burrow than we realized.

Or, we can just hope that if the timing is right we go get Brady later.

It’s worth noting that Brady also had a guy to run his scheme named Joe Burrow, who also happens to be one of the best college football QB’s. Ever.

Brady and Burrow had a symbiotic relationship.
Yes, Brady implemented tactics which helped Burrow to improve.

Brady is really good and his loss stings, but also look at the example of a coach named Curley Hallman who was shocking people with his results, only to find out the results were mainly because of some guy named Brett Favre.

Brady is not the only reason. Burrow is not the only reason.

What is the common denominator is a guy named Ensminger and a guy named Orgeron.

Trust.

This needs to be posted in response to any "We'll be fine with Ensminger" posts.

Brady engineered this offense. He identified the mismatches, exploited weaknesses, exposed tendencies.

He coached up the WRs, working with the QBs/WRs on timing, route running, execution, etc.

An offense isn't just a playbook. We're going to find that out the hard way next year if Ensminger is the guy next year.
