Same as it ever was - How Tony Dungy dealt with Shula's overly complex play calling


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Perhaps there's another parallel to draw from Dungy's Bucs. They always had a great defense, but after letting go of Dungy (which the owners really didn't want to do as they liked him so much as a person), they brought in a brash offensive mind in Gruden. With Dungy's defense still mostly intact, Gruden's offense carried the Bucs to a Super Bowl. 

I'm not saying bring in Gruden, that ship has sailed, but bringing in a young brash offensive mind, perhaps someone like Bill Lazor, might be the answer.

You were right @Jeremy Igo. You said all this right after they promoted Shula to OC, and I tried to see the glass as half full and remain optimistic. Shula has been terrible for the Panthers. 

Everybody said this, not just igo, not one single person was on board with it when it happened

And just like that... Ron has thoughts about simplifying the offense.

 

Igo =  Nostradamus 

It's called common sense, which you would THINK a professional NFL coach would have. Unfortunately, looks like Ron is suffering from CTE.

Honestly, we should all be hoping for zero more wins this season. That is the only way these clowns get fired. 

Sadly, I don't even think THAT would be enough. Let's face it, Ron is here until his contract is up. JR not about to pay another coach to not be on the team.

Mr. Richardson doesn't have enough time left on the planet to burn through a fraction of all the money he has acquired.  So, I doubt JR would hesitate to fire Ron and the rest of the staff despite the financial loss if he believed it would secure a Lombardi Trophy for the Panthers. 

Seems like some here don't recall JR fired Head Coach Dom Capers with 8 years remaining on his 10 year contract.

That wasn't Dungys D that was Monty Kiffins D and he was the reason their defense was great for a few years there...

 

Our team pours most of the resources to the D and haven't had a D preform on any of those Tampa's defenses level...it's sickening because everything about this team should be so much better than what it is

So whose defense was that in Indianapolis?

I think Richardson made it crystal clear back in July the priority that he sets between Lombardi Trophies and relationships.

    • Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......
    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
