Whelp Norv

[LinvilleGorge]

I've really like what Norv has done up until yesterday. I'm just going to chalk it up as typical post-bye week Rivera Panthers for right now. I don't know what it is, but we always come out of a bye looking all sorts of discombobulated and flst.

I think it's more the ''ball control'' mentality of ''winning'' T.O.P. 

We could still win T.O.P. but allow ourselves more time at the line consistently, from a casual view. 

There are times we get to the LOS with time enough for motions // shifts // etc. Then there are the times we see them at the LOS with :05s on the closk and it's like why is it taking so long...

Is Can having trouble understanding what plays are called. We have always had this trouble since he was drafted, we waste to many damn timeouts.

Cam has admitted in the past that his huddles tend to be a mess and that Greg has to correct things a lot. Here is a snippet from an interview awhile back. Not sure if this is still the case but the popular belief that was driven home around here (*cough* Igo) was that it was 100% Shula. Not sure that was always the case. 

• TE Greg Olsen -- “The Overseer ... He listens to the play, like, ‘No, no, no, no, that’s not right. It can’t be even. It has to be odd. I can’t zoom. I can’t motion that way because if I ... no, no, no Cam, that’s not right.'"

• QB Newton -- “I’m Wrong ... half the time when I’m saying a play, I’m wrong and those guys, they fix it. It’s like my auto correct. You know when you’re on word document. They’re the red lining."

Voth wrote an article about it last year and said most of the problem was Cam really likes to watch the replay on the video boards so that’s another factor in getting into the huddle late. I think the other issue is he has problems getting words out and will fumble them which when calling a play with precise verbiage can present a big issue. It’s not an intelligence issue but a verbalizing what’s in his head issue. I have the same problem in public speaking situations.

Watching the replays needs to be coached out of him, but the verbalization thing is just him and something we have to deal with. Just have to accept it and take the bad with all the tremendous good he brings.

he looked alot like Shula yesterday while playing against Shula on the other side, maybe it was a dedication. 

You need to stand in the middle of an ash pit and flog yourself 50 times with a barbed, leather strap.

I don't understand why we aren't utilizing CJ Andersen more.  He had 4 run attempts yesterday.

cmc too good.

There hadn’t been any playclock issues before this game. The first three we never had to burn a timeout and they were often at the line with 10s to spare. Just a bad game for norv for whatever reason.

norv is pretty damn bad but its 100000 times better then shula , still and old school offense that im not a fan of but we have been looking much better . we need to air the ball out though ,shula thats all we did now with norv we dont do it at all we need a balance.

He was trying to out Shula, Shula and almost got out Shula'd himself.

Offense definitely had issues at times, but we did score 33 points. This much bigger issue was not finishing more drives with TDs and our defense playing horrible down the stretch.

4 fg....12 points....and 1 st td....7  points

We didn't have the problem any other game and at first both teams were struggling with it. I'm going to say it might have been the time keeper or hardware. Either way the giants overcame it and we didn't.

Fyi Shula doesn't call plays for NYG their head coach does.
