SHULA better be creative on offense.

This is my fear.  McCaffery and Samuel are both amazing pieces, but when the guy writing the playbook eats crayons, it's hard to be optimistic.  guaranteed, he will run both on end arounds in the first game of the season just like Ginn did all the time last year.

Shula's going to try and do his best Chud impression to save his job, mark my words. Samuels on go routes, screens, and sweeps. CMC as Deangelo Williams meets slot receiver. The Wildcat. Trick plays. It'll be interesting. If Cam gets his short game down this offense will be a defensive coordinator's worst nightmare.

Do you guys even watch the Panthers? The knock on Shula has never been his creativity. Most of y'all whine that he's "too cute" unless it works. Would you prefer Fox's 3rd-and-7 draws? Shula ran the Annexation of Puerto Rico, play actions to Olsen on fourth down, etc. He calls sweeps and fakes and misdirections all the time. Is he the best coordinator in the league? Nah. Does he try new stuff with the personnel he has? Yeah. Maybe to a fault. They entire staff has talked about "evolving" the offense or months now, and they drafted the pieces to make that happen. Whine all you want. I'm excited to see this speed.

Good take @SurfNTurf. Shula doesn't bother me. That the pieces didn't all work together well bothers me. Fans don't have the patience to let the setup from 2 plays ago play out. I'm excited about this draft so far. Just wish Cam could participate in the OTA's & full camp to get familiar with these weapons. I see a slow start for this year. :(

They are gambling HUGE that Oher is OK, that Cam returns to being Cam, that J-Stew stays healthy, that KB is who we thought he was pre-ACL, that Funchess becomes a competent WR2-3, that the aging D-line can be at least average. These are all giant ifs. But if at least some of them happen, plus this new talent? Woooooooo boys...

    • I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.
    • Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
