Fleury added, “There’s a lot of talent. There’s not many things to fix, quite honestly. They already play a way that’s visible on the silent tape. You can see the culture on the film and so I’m excited to just work with that and continue to build it.”<\/p>\n
His wealth of NFL knowledge from all the stops he’s made in the league, including the Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, and 49ers, have helped him develop for this opportunity.<\/p>\n
“It’s prepared me in a lot of different ways. You know, I’ve been fortunate to share a staff room and game plan with a lot of people that I’m going to be facing off against. When I look at the schedule, Daronte Jones, for sure. But Lou Anarumo, I shared a staff room with. Terrell Williams, Matt Burke, Vance Joseph, DeMeco Ryans, Robert Saleh, Aaron Glenn, Jeff Hafley, Anthony Weaver, Brian Duker. So, I had a lot of insight into what some of the opponents are going to be doing in those cases.”<\/p>\n
Fleury also had a three-year stop with the Miami Dolphins, though not a direct football coaching role, he said that experience was, “one of the most valuable three-year periods of my life.”<\/p>\n
“It was more of an analytics role, just studying league trends, game management, philosophy\u2026 Being freed up from [coaching] really allowed me to develop my own philosophy of how I would handle certain things. At the time I was a little bit frustrated because I wasn’t dealing with the players directly but in hindsight, it probably was one of the most valuable three-year periods of my life, just from a development standpoint.”<\/p>\n
This will be Fleury’s first time calling offensive plays, but Fleury doesn’t see his lack of offensive play calling experience as a hindrance. And as Macdonald said on Thursday, “All play callers have to be first time play callers.”<\/p>\n
“I called defense and special teams at the collegiate level,” Fleury said. “Have not called offensive plays, but I’ve always been preparing too. The thing about offensive playful to me is the preparation is done ahead of time. You’re thinking through the situations and putting plays in a list format of when you get to the 2nd and one inside the 30-yard line, what are you going to call? And so, the preparation aspect of it, I’ve already done, and now it’s just a matter of like, analyzing the information in real time and getting to the right play call on the sheet.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fleury added, “There’s a lot of talent.
