Norv Turner's play design


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Man, seeing these well executed play designs is a breath of fresh air. Did you see the blocking scheme on CMC's TD as well? It was sick. This is to all of those who said it was the "players not executing" when Shula was here. Good play designs and a good scheme matters. Now if only we got rid of Shula earlier we would already have a ring. This offense is about to blow up.

Remember, multiple teams didnt want norv because his play calls were meh... I dont say that because hes bad, but just to point out how low we had set the bar with Mike Shula at the helm.  In fact, I think he'll have a resurgence due to never having someone as dynamic as cam newton and CMC is looking like the real deal, but remembering him being moved on from can remind us of how bad shula was.

Cleveland w/ Chud and no offensive talent.

Minnesota w/ Zimmer and a little more offensive talent. 

Carolina with w Rivera, and the best offense skill position wise we've likely ever had as far as potential. 

I'm not gonna hold those last two stops against him given the situations.

These people exist?

I see you haven't been around here very long, so you have a perfectly valid excuse not to have known this.

But the answer to your question is, yes, at the very least they existED.  Now whether they'll every bring up their formerly proud defense of Shula's "brilliant schemes" is another question.  They'll likely let sleeping dogs lie in that regard.

    • No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad 
    • I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle. 
    • Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
