Predict Ron Rivera's first play call as a Head Coach

Recommended Posts

Heard this on WFNZ the other day and thought it was interesting. What would you as a first time head coach in the nfl call as your first play.

double reverse wild cat play with armanti edwards throwing a TD to cam newton in the endzone.

I think most will think it's going to be a run play & since Clausen is starting I think it will be too. I think it will be a counter run play with Williams (to cheat & hedge my bet, I will go #2 with a play-action to the RB or tight-end...since Clausen doesn't look down field).

if we know jimmy isnt going to throw further than 15 yards and that it will most likely be a run play, so does the other teams defense even though no one "plans" for preseason.

RR is going to put smith in motion to see if they are playing man or zone and then put olsen in motion out wide and jimmy is going to hit smith on a slant for 15 or try to.

    • Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it    
    • The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
