Shula called a better game today than McDermott

May not last but Captain Dipshlt has called 2 good games in a row.  Can't believe the Huddle didn't notice.

What do you guys think is different this year?  Sure AF isn't the talent.

 

WR by committee, almost nonexistent running game other than Cam.

 

Shula should have been given a game ball the last 2 weeks.

 

Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks.

At this point, I believe two things are happening.

One, the offense is basically no longer Shula's. It's Cam saying, "you know what, fug this, I'm doing what I can to win this game."

Two, the defense is Luke's. Without him, Klein is like, "hey gaiz, let's do that one play where I tackle the guy in the backfield and if I miss him Harper has my back k?"

Simple: WAY better O-line for him and Cam.

That's not to say he can't go back to being Shula, but with an vastly better O-line and a generational talent in Cam, plays can actually be executed without being blown up because Bell or Chanlder missed a block (which was all the time). However, still don't trust Shula going forward, but I like the combo of his plays and Cam audibiling so I think it may work.

So when offense has a bad game you are going to blame Cam and not Shula, right? Just clarifying.

 

There are times, for sure. It can easily be both. Like when Cam tried to fire that bullet into Funchess' belly between two defenders and missed horribly - it's Cam trusting in his arm too much. The gunslinger mentality. I also think that's why we occasionally see the long 2nd and short/3rd and short bombs. The gunslinger mentality.

    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others. 
    • I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
