Shula, take note

You can't pass if you don't have protection.  You can sustain drives if you fumble.  Other than the bomb on 3rd and 3.  Not sure what the Shula hate is going to focus on this week.  

Poorly designed plays in general are an issue.

Calling certain plays out of sequence (shovel pass on 3rd and long?) is an issue.

Slow-developing downfield routes on nearly every pass play is an issue.

Lack of creativity with the play-action pass game is an issue.

This occurred all game. The two drives it didn't, we scored (and one of those drives was the short game-winner late).

Quick hitting plays during an up-tempo, no-huddle drive have been solid all year, yet we still don't do it all game. Why? What is the excuse, other than ineptitude by the OC?

I love how these threads don't consider the fact that Cameron might be changing the play at the line of scrimmage...

 

 

But go ahead and pillory someone who has forgotten more about calling football game than you have ever known....

The plays that make everybody in our fan base go "wtf was that?!" aren't audibles. You can tell when Cam audibles. You can tell when he's just changing protection with the OL. It doesn't happen often, really.

This is every game, win lose or blowout someone always has excuses for Shula. It's never him and always the little things. If we'd just run what he calls flawlessly we'd win 100% of the time right?

I disagree, regardless of anything Shula has consistently been a bad OC. Sometimes he will realize that and change but it's super rare. He is predictable, simple, stubborn, and unable to adjust to anything other than what he needs to win(a great defense, low scoring game, or a TOP game) which makes him bad at his job. Madden recommended calls can do better than him!

You can cherry pic game after game making excuses for Shula but in his entire career he is bad. I think we win despite him not because of him.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
