Antonio Brown: Haley seems like a real friendly guy...

TE , i got this linked up on the..." a few noteworthy reads" thread already. it has video of him on rome's show.

 

Brown is playing it cool, he knows that if he plays constantly and say;s the right things, he will have the big contract next year and play for a contender the rest of his career.

 

Even Haley said his demeanor will change once camp starts. But I had heard his intentions are always for the best of the player.

 

I started to post that I beat you by 2 hours Mac, your initial post was from last night though, oops Thanks for the video feed. Very impressed with AB.

TTF, if you want to merge these 2 threads, be my guest. :hello:[/quote:crr5u5es]

no problem at all my friend, i just thought it may be in better context on video or at least save some reading. LOL you know how some writers like to add their own wrinkle to what guys say. yea, we got us a real gem.

 

So is my landlord/bank as long as that payment is in on the 1st!

 

Yea I thought my army drill sergeant was nice as hell too until we jumped off the bus in front of the barracks for the official start of boot camp

 

Man don't I know that is true!!!

 

Exactly the way a guy preparing you for battle should be...Show he can be a nice guy,and he is a human being,but he refuses to let his human softness keep him from pushing you to the limit....

This is exactly the way I believe a Coach should approach it.....If you are perfect then no need to complain,,,,but every flaw or mistake he sees it is his Job to address that and push the players to perfection....

If you can't be perfect in practice then how can you ever expect perfection on the field on game day????Again exactly why the DS is so hard,,,,prepare extemely hard and increase your chances of survival.....

Haley is going to prepare our guys to survive the Football season....In Football terms that means winning it all.....Anything else means we died on the field of battle.....

 

From what I have read and seen of Todd Haley, the intensity is going to rise.
I think the players on the offensive side of the ball better get ready mentally for this.
It is pretty hard to change a leopards spots(Haley). As for Antonio Brown he has become my favorite
Steeler. I love his heart, charisma,work ethic.
I was always more of a defensive person but this kid has just
too much going for him thats undeniable, barring injuruy he wil be a SUPERSTAR BABY.

 

Brown remind me of Ward while Wallace remind me of Plax.

 

Forrest Gump seemed to get along with his Drill Sargent

 

i think the worst thing he could do is come to camp and become a drill sargent to this group. if they aren't getting it, it may be more as to how he's teaching it. it's new for these guys. let's not also forget he's coming to a team thats been there, from assistant coaches on. they are playoff tested and have been to more super bowls in the last 10 years than haley has his whole career. it's not like he's coming into miami or carolina or somewhere. we have given him all the talent a coach could want to work with, so work with them don't become a dictator, he'll turn some guys off. PWP, what works with HS players is far different then what works with college players and i'm sure pro players, especially ones that have gotten it done so much in the past. what style of coaching that works for one guy may not work with another guy. there are 53 personalities out there. i think this year, he should learn those and use his assistant coaches to help as much as possible. they know how to deal with these players first hand and successfully so far. they are pro's and have been there. he needs to teach his offense and learn his players before he becomes a screamer.

 

I think this article says it best about Haleys coaching style in Kurt Warners words. Haley has a long connection with the steelers and he wants championships and anything less will be a disapointment to him...

thats the part i worry about. the he and him factor, instead of we and us. he has won nothing in this league yet and has been a part of alot of high profile teams, with the same outcome. they have won nothing with him at the helm. we have. is it going to be more of a feather in his cap or more of another feather in this organizations cap under him. he hasen't stuck very well anywhere he's had some say so. i'm just looking at facts here and not judging him yet until i see what happens with my own eyes, but all i can go by is from what he's done. i see one successful year and that didn't end well.

 

I'm not annoiting Haley as an OC genius quite yet, since he hasnt put a game plan on the field yet: Based on his resume he did get the cards to the superbowl for their 1st time ever, which is a plus: His stint with the chiefs wasnt that hot, but he had a lot of inexperienced players as well as I dont think Matt Cassel is a top QB, or will he ever be one: I like the offense Haley intends to implement with a focus on the running game by starting a fullback for the 1st time in 5 years to take advantage of one of Bens best attributes, (the play action pass) Haley also focused on the Oline in the last draft to beef it up which can only payoff this season. He also intends to use the screen, and get more balls in the hands of the running backs so Ben isnt holding on to the ball to cut down on the sacks. Is Haley's personality going to interfere with his vision for this offense, only this regular season will answer that question, but no body has to like their boss to work for him, but if this offense improves and gets the Ws, the players will buy into it, and thats all that matters...

 

Dwayne bowe also led the league in td catches under haley as well

 

yea, he likes his offense to sling it. just not alot of expierience as the head OCo. never remained in one place to long either. why? alot of arizona was whiz's offense. he mostly worked under someone else's offense. dallas,chicago,NY,ariz.. i just am not certain how this will function and i hope alot of people are not disapointed that we are not grinding it out on the ground as they expect. he adjusted one time at KC when his qb was down. other then that he has had a good qb and good WR's which would make alot of guys look maybe better then they are. he never came through the ranks, or played. he was kind of handed his start out of the blue because of his dad. i don't know. we will soon find out i suppose.

 

He was with the Jets for five years working his way up the ranks starting as a scout. That's a pretty decent amount of time to stay in one spot in football years. After that I'd say he went where the opportunity was, leaving the Jets for a receiver's coach job at the Bears, and after a couple years going for a better opportunity in Dallas, then to AZ, then to KC. No doubt he got his start in NY because of his dad, though.[/quote:3do1jdpz]


i agree about being foolish not to use the qb/wr we are giving him. we are starting our backup rb this year, so we should be a little pass heavy. it's our stregnth.

How is that our strength? We have a wildly inconsistent QB, who is fighter I will give him that and a proven winner but lets face it his ability to drop back make the quick read is suspect as well as his ability to take the check down. As of this moment there is no veteran leadership at the WR position. They have Cotchery who is a great possession slot receiver but doesn't exactly light it up, Sanders who we are hoping stays healthy, Brown who had a phenomenal year last year but may or may not have been the recipient of Wallace being double and triple covered to get those impressive numbers and lastly Wallace who is holding out and may be behind the curve with the new offense and will take time to gel with Ben again should he actually come to camp. This is hardly a veteran group of proven playoff winners and no more or less experienced than a backup rb who is starting. I say they real strength of this offensive team is that no one part is better than the next so it will be unpredictable and force teams to play honest. If they come out slinging it around it will be just the same as it was under Arians and teams can come after Ben and the running game will have no hope of getting going late in the third quarter.
