Joe Brady has been in the Bills\u2019 building since 2022, working his way up from quarterbacks coach, to offensive coordinator, and now to head coach in 2026.<\/p>\n
Running back James Cook has been around for all of Brady\u2019s rise over the past four seasons, with Brady calling the plays that helped Cook become the league\u2019s rushing champion in 2025.<\/p>\n
So what was the offseason program like with Brady as head coach?<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, it\u2019s just a new energy in the building,\u201d Cook said in an interview with NFL Network\u2019s Good Morning Football on Tuesday. \u201cIt\u2019s going to always be like that, I feel like, when you have a new head coach coming in \u2014 a young one, too, at that. I mean, Joe\u2019s a young head coach coming in, his first year being a head coach. I mean, he\u2019s got a new energy. That\u2019s what I feel like.\u201d<\/p>\n
But just because there\u2019s an energy shift doesn\u2019t mean Brady is acting inauthentically.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, to me, nothing has changed,\u201d Cook said. \u201cJoe\u2019s going to be Joe. And, you know, he\u2019s going to be himself. He just wants you to play football and have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bills rookies are set to report to training camp on July 21, with Cook and the veterans set to report on July 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joe Brady has been in the Bills\u2019 building since 2022, working his way up from quarterbacks coach, to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":762777,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-762776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=762776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762776\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/762777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=762776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=762776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=762776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
