Bills coordinator Joe Brady’s trajectory back on the rise after overseeing Josh Allen-led offense

Associated Press  

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady can provide a long list of issues that led to him failing in his first, brief stint as an NFL play-caller with the Carolina Panthers. I got let go from my last job trying to think like that,” Brady said last season, a month into taking over Buffalo’s offense after Ken Dorsey was fired in mid-November. “It’s a players’ game, and when you remove yourself and try to make it about the scheme, that usually doesn’t go too well,” Brady said Monday. “I told myself, if I get an opportunity again, I’m going to make it about the guys and making sure the relationships are there so we can have the tough conversations.” Without that trust, he could never have had players buy in to the “everybody eats” mantra introduced in May to an offense that had lost its two top receiving options, Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis. “Fortunately, I don’t have to defend him, but I wouldn’t be talking to you right now without my time spent learning from him,” Brady said of Payton.
