Shula unrest

that dude is a Huddler.... JPowell or something.

 

The Shula bashing is getting out of hand. Our QB is rusty and inaccurate. Our tackles can't block poo. Our receivers can't get separation or are dropping touchdown passes. Basically we can't fuging execute and all you retards are too blind to see it. This was the best offense in the league two years ago with Shula at the helm with Cam healthy. Use your head instead of listening to the masses.

This chart says otherwise. We have never been top 10 in total yards on offense. What we were good at was scoring when given the ball in good field position by our defense. Without that defense turning the ball over left and right the numbers would have been a lot lower. To each their own though.

My biggest issue with Shula (and Ron, honestly) is that he has no ability to adjust to the things they're seeing on the field.  We go into every game with a "game plan".  It either works or it doesn't.  Good coaches find a way to use the strengths of the tools they have in order to make them better.  Ron and Shula are not capable of that.  There always seems to be a small period(s) of a game where the offense starts clicking and hitting quick, short/intermediate routes, but then we go right back to the slow-developing routes ran by big, slow receivers.  It blows my mind.  Cam also needs to learn to take the 5-7 yards that defenses are giving to the underneath guy.  That's a mistake that an MVP with his experience can't make repeatedly.

Try scoring touchdowns despite field position without good play calling and execution. This is the NFL not Madden sweetheart.

"Total yards" is a flawed metric for assessing the success of an offense. Our offense under Shula typically utilize these long demoralizing clock-killing drives where we run the ball down your throat and dominate TOP. Therefore slower drives = less possessions = less total yards of offense. It'd be a hell of a lot more useful to use a stat involving efficiency per drive rather than total yards.

I feel like this is more how Ron wants the offense to play to keep the defense fresh.  I don't think it's fair to put that on Shula.

Whoever is the "mastermind" behind this style of offense is irrelevant. I'm simply saying that this is the style of offense we run and it will lead to less total yardage. I would disagree with your theory though, considering our first year under Ron/Chudzinski was not at all like that.

 

Also, if that's the argument you're going to make, then you're opening up a whole 'nother can of worms here. If you think Ron dictates the style of offense we run, then it's also not fair to put all the criticism on Shula if he's not given free reign of his offense. I disagree with that though, and I'm not sure what you're basing that off of.

omg! Someone understands how the NFL works! Bravo sir, yes the offense and defense go hand in hand and it's Ron's call how they play.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
