Albert Breer Breaks Down the Dynamic That Led to Tua’s Brian Flores Rant | The Rich Eisen Show

you said you were at the Dolphins bucks practices joint practice together Were You There When the Tua comments about Brian Flores came out a little bit after yeah so what was the what was the conversation about that then um you know I think it's just Tua when I asked people about it was interesting I was like that's Tua Tua fault like he's just honest and if you ask him on especially in a setting like that like that that that Dan and the guys had him in like you're going to get an hon answer and I don't know how often he's been asked about Flores you know um because they played so well the last couple of years because he personally has done so well and obviously has had some other things going on with the concussions and everything else I don't know that anybody's really you know been diving into it the way that the way that they did on on on the levitar show so um you I think you know it's just sort of his honest truth and what was really interesting about it to me is um you know we talk about this being this stuff being generational and everything else did people forget what program came from exctly that's the whole thing like you know anybody who's sitting here saying he can't take tough coaching it's just like get out of here you know uh and yeah so uh so here's the thing but it's obvious that flor's never wanted him right I mean like this now confirms it right and I think that's part of the problem right like so part of the problem is like that you know Flo and there was some disagreement and obviously it was close on on who they were picking there to uh or Herbert and um you know I think some of this could be harboring some of that I also think it's like part of it's like where Brian Flor has had been and how he'd coached guys in the past and how he'd seen guys coached in the past I mean it's legendary the way Bill bellich coached Tom Brady right and bellich che's philosophy had always been had always been um you coach the best players the hardest and then everybody else Falls in line it's just sort of the way it is and so that's how Brian Flores coached Tua I think one thing that's interesting though here and this this part is generational is how I think Nick Sabin doesn't get credit for tailoring his coaching to the individual players and what the individual players need and I think the best guys do that and I think that's one thing that Brian Flores has has learned from going through this and I think he's learned a lot from going through this because he's always been a guy who's been loved by the players like right except for the Miami thing ask Devon mccordi about him ask K Kyle vanoi about him ask Dante hi toow about him ask the guys in Minnesota now guys like Harrison Smith about him right but defenses defensive players are different than quarterbacks man and that's the thing is and that's the lesson right like so that's the lesson and here I'll give you a a really really interesting story on CJ stad that I think explains this to a t right so like last year when the Texans were looking at who they were going to take second overall um Bobby slowick their offensive coordinator got after CJ strad in the 30 visit pretty good and CJ kind of shut down and it was a way of testing him and this happens a lot right like so he shut down and I heard about that and that's a reason why I didn't mock uh stad to the to the Texans so then you know afterwards I I Circle back and I kind of dug in a little bit more and try to figure out what happened and as it turns out Deo Ry and Nick cerio then went to back to the people at Ohio State and asked them about CJ and said well this kid's been through a lot in his life so he's not going to you know react to you know a football coach who he doesn't know teaching him that coaching him that intensely you have to earn his trust and not only did that get them to dig in more and wind up taking CJ strad it also informed the way they coached CJ strad when they got him you know so and you think about that right like how in like like what a what a great Testament to the Texans organization that is is that they set some set something up that didn't work for the player they went and doubled back and checked into it again and then like the lessons they learned not only wound up you know putting them in position to draft the guy but then you know inform the way that they're teaching him going forward I thought it was fascinating and um you know I think that that's sort of the lesson you can learn from these situations is that um you know demo and and Bobby came from a very tough system in in in San Francisco Kyle Shanahan coaches really hard right but you learn how to package it a little differently for every player and I think that that's what's interesting about what Mike McDaniel's doing in Miami as well and I know I'm being long-winded here so sorry I think that's what Mike Mike McDaniel is demanding as hell as a coach but he packages it a little differently for every player and those players know he has their back you know and so I think that that's probably a lesson that Flores takes from it I think Flores is a fantastic coach people forget his last you know two years there they won 19 games that's one less than Mike McDaniels won the last two years um following floras in Mike Miami so it's not like Flores wasn't a really good head coach like he did plenty of good there um but with maybe the most important relationship in the building he failed and you know it's my feeling at least that he's learned a lot from it yeah the the these uh not these quarterbacks quarterbacks and certainly this generation of players there's an operation manual there's a there's and and and it seems like McDaniel had it better for Tua than Flores did and and clearly demo Ryan uh and and the uh rest of the Texans found the operation manual for CJ strout and it led to a unicorn season I mean and I I appreciate you lending that perspective catch the rich
