Shula, first call of the game

Recommended Posts

Less than seven hours to kickoff, Shula is running out of crayons and word of the street is he just won his first game of connect four.  

Let's get down to business and predict his first play.  I am leaning toward a toss to somebody that lacks the speed to get the edge.

Stewart, up the middle, no gain, but does not fumble.  

this.  But I'll be bold and call a 1 yard gain.  

Shula will want to establish that physical dominance. 

 

my preference, start out in shotgun with CMC in the backfield.  Motion him out and have a short cross route to CMC or Samuel.   We need to establish that we plan to get the rookies involved and plan to get the ball out of Cam's hands quick instead.    Then work in the runs and the deep shots that require Cam sitting in the pocket for long periods.

    • seems like he wasn't quite himself when he came back from landing on his head. like his confidence wasn't 100%. hoping it is, though.  we've got a lot of potential here. i really like our TE room right now. RB corps is stacked. WR doesn't look too shabby either. and we are going to see some good things from BY too. 
    • It's been mentioned in this thread, yet many are glossing over it... This WR group has a ton of potential. TMAC, XL and Coker, and maybe even Horn as the speed guy will get a ton of snaps in this offense. The reality is that they are all really unproven. Hopefully they're ascending, but we don't know if XL and Coker are maxed out based on last season. TMAC and Horn are ROOKIES. So the only "proven vets" are Thielen, Moore and Renfrow. Not exactly top of the league. Biggest issue being a lack of speed to take the top off of defenses. Say what you want about Tedd Ginn but he was probably the most important receiver on the team in 2015.
    • That would basically make him a top 10 quarterback based on last year's stats if you break down each QB metric, complied and ranked them. I get the premise of the question--why should we get rid of Bryce after the season if the team still sucks, but it's not Bryce's fault?  Fair enough. If Bryce balls out and for whatever reason we still can't get over the hump, he shouldn't catch all the grief for it.  However, I will caveat that while stats can add layers of paint to a canvass, they do not always paint the whole picture.  So while those hypothetical stats are pretty darn good, if we are inept in the red zone settling for FGs or he's coughing up the ball on sacks or completing layup passes that doesn't get us first downs, then statistically he can have a really good season, but it could leave us on the short end of the scoreboard some games.
