Scott Turner

Is he calling offensive plays now? It sure looked like it yesterday on the sidelines.

Norv calls it into Scott who relays it to Allen. Just like always.

But why, is Kyle unable to hear Norv directly?

It wouldn't surprise me if Scott called some plays. Norv probably installs the overall game plan and has like 30-40 base plays for the game and they tweak things off of that. Scott might be making the final call on like 2-3 plays per situation that Norv has picked out.

Regardless, what concerned me the most about this system was during that Rams game where Cam couldn't hear the playcall through his helmet, and he couldn't just call a play on his own to avoid a penalty. Ridiculous a 30 year old veteran QB in his 9th season couldn't just call a play on his own. I don't know if it was on the coaching staff not allowing that or what, but that was extremely concerning to me.

idk.

ask norv

I didn't notice it, but whatever they are doing is working.  We are not only getting to the line quickly and ready, we are creating opportunities for big plays by catching the other team off guard when they are trying to substitute.

This is the way most OCs do it when they sit in the box. That way they have someone on the field calling plays so if there are any communication problems then Scott has a direct line to the QB. Plus Scott is the person who spend the most time with the quarterbacks and works with them directly
