“It’s Josh Allen’s offense.”

Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady doesn’t seem interested in reinventing the wheel, or in this case, the team’s offense.

In his first offseason as the Bills’ offensive coordinator, Brady has a chance to reflect on the whirlwind that occurred last fall when he was abruptly named to replace Ken Dorsey after a home loss to Denver . He now has time to identify and implement necessary changes to the program while leveraging the strengths of the team’s new personnel.

Although the receiving corps has been almost completely redone, the field general remains the same. Three-time MVP finalist Josh Allen is expected to return as the centerpiece of the Bills’ offense.

“At the end of the day, it’s Josh Allen’s offense, right?” Brady said after Tuesday’s Phase 3 OTA practice at Orchard Park. “You’re going to bring the offense together around the guys that you have. There’s going to be certain elements of things that I believe in, but it’s more about telling me who we have on our football team and the guys and what they can do well. We’re going to do that.

Brady, 34, who previously served this season (2020) as OC of the Carolina Panthers, recognizes that now is the time to test new concepts that could potentially become offensive staples.

“There’s only one guy in the receivers room who even caught a ball from Josh in a game. Every practice rep, there’s such intention behind what we’re doing and why we do it, to make him feel comfortable and an idea of ​​some of these guys This is the time where we experiment with certain things, “Brady said.

Allen’s comfort level will seemingly take precedence over any potential changes.

“There are some things that Josh Allen has been doing for years here, and the last thing I want is for him to have to think about it. If it’s something that’s going to slow down, it doesn’t change anything,” said Brady.
