Poll: Grade the Offensive Play Calling

[Jeremy Igo]

How did Shula do last night? 

 

[Mr. Scot]

Although I'm a detractor of the playcalling, in my opinion with Shula it's the play design that's the bigger issue. And it comes into clear contrast when we play a team like the Saints.

Sean Payton may lack a few things as a head coach, but his play designs are genius. The route coordination, the blocking schemes, the natural picks he creates... all just phenomenal.

I just don't see those things in the plays we run.

[B.BERSIN]

We are lucky that Payton has worse play calling in his last drive. Shula could have lost us again with his stupid calls.

On the play that saved the game, the long pass to KB, if the Saints had blitzed like everyone in the world thought they would, Cam had no outlet because all WRS were running deep routes. It would have been a sack and a probable Saints win. Shula still doesn't realize that it takes a WR longer to run 20 yards than a defender to run 5 yards to sack Cam.

I feel like he can design plays but sucks at feeling out the flow of a game.  Shouldn't be calling plays in realtime IMO.  Do i think he can design plays any better than all the other employed OC's in the league? NO

You need to split this poll into 1st Half and 2nd Half.

Shula did Worse than a hooker at a Baptist convention..

[Verge]

First half is a B+ second half is a D. 

[uncfan888]

D.  fug Shula. Get him out of here

[truthjuice]

C. His first half was okay with the exception of the first drive. The second half is where dreams went to die but the saving grace was the pass to KB. I think Shula gets too fancy and complicated for his own good.

Honestly watching the replay though. KB wasn't really open. Cam threw it in a hole and hoped he would grab it.

B- in the first half. F+ in the 2nd half. The only reason he gets the + in the 2nd half is because Kelvin caught that ball and we held on for dear life.

I'm sure the Saints are frustrated with their OC today as well. On their last TD drive they were still running the ball and huddling up after every play. It was clear that our pass rush was gassed. Without Johnson on the field if they would've went to a pass happy hurry up, they would've straight eaten us alive over the middle of the field. If they score with around 5 minutes left (which was easily doable) versus only 3 minutes left, they probably win the game.
