Dave Lapham, Bengals Radio Analyst says that Hue Jackson has as good people skills as anyone he’s known and he’d have loved to played for a guy like him. He says he’s great at getting the best out of his players. He feels that Hue has “the it factor” when it comes to relating to others and that really helps out his players to trust and respect him.

Dave states that Hue Jackson’s first goal will be to set the culture, expectations, and demeanor of the football team. They go back to his year as coach in Oakland and what the outside variables were against him and how the situation is much different as he joins the Browns. He says Hue is about physicality, but he’s very trick and has some interesting ideas to aid in that goal.

Dave thinks that Hue’s creative mind offensively will only aid in using analytics and getting along with the crew that is leading that charge. He doesn’t feel the power struggle will create divides and that Hue is the perfect guy to deal with the unknown on the cutting edge of analytics. He thinks Hue Jackson is big on trust and respect and Manziel’s violated that and he just doesn’t seem to be a Hue Jackson kind of guy.
