How long is the Huddle gonna defend Shula?

This may be just my observation but Cam absolutely HATES to check down, either that or he doesn't go through his progressions fast enough.  If you look at the greats (brady, Wilson, Brees, Rogers) they all check down, and check down often.  There is nothing wrong with a 6-7 yard pass completion IMO.  But it seems if we aren't throwing for over 10 yards every attempt, its not worth doing which is forcing the ball.  

 

If we use the check down more, you'll keep drives alive much longer then trying to thread the needle on 3rd and long after 2 botched attempts earlier.

We seriously struggle to score more than 21 points a game. Half the time against good D's we struggle to even score more than 14. 

 

Which is really alarming due to having one of the best D's in the game. Our O gets more opportunities due to stout defense and take always. 

 

If Shula doesn't turn this around by the end of the season he needs to be replaced with a proven play caller. 

 

in b4 the "TOP comments". 

yea he gave up 250 rush yards to the steelers too.  cant forget that.  i cant believe he allowed our olineman to get blowed up like that

Most plays he has no check downs. When he does he uses them if you watch closely.

Shula's problem is he doesn't use all his options.  You got Swole Bones who is a much better playmaker than Ed Dickson sitting out games.  Then with Bersin being active, you refuse to use him on a lot of the third down situations.  These guys can ball, and they are sitting around doing nothing.

shula did bad last night.  never even tried to get the run game going until the 3rd quarter when it was essentially too late and stewart went out in short order.  this was a steelers d that had been getting gashed on the ground.  cam is going to die behind that oline if we can't keep a defense somewhat honest with at least the threat to run the football.

    • Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.
    • The funny part is she looks older and not in a good way...
    • How about some line help, both sides, first. Trade XL before talking about a 1st round WR 3 years in a row. Or a TE or...drum roll...a QB to pair with a vet.  And if it's not a speedy route guy with hands then just hard pass.
