Shula proponent behind replacing zone read last season?

In Evan Silva's rundown of NFL rosters he mentioned that Shula was the one that integrated a more traditional running game the end of last season.  Not sure if it's speculation or not.  Silva is very knowledgeable, but I'm not sure if he's plugged in enough to have that kind of information.  It could easily just be someone mis-remembering something about an "unimportant" team

 

That being said, if true, it bodes well for the Offense.  I believe Cam will be much more effective in a traditional scheme, with improvised scrambles, and the OCCASIONAL zone read.  Hopefully that is the direction Shula is going.

Sounds like bull.

Chud comes from the Norv. They run. He ran in Clev. They ran in 11. They ran most of 12.

I don't think because of 4-5 games the QB coach suddenly became the OC and no one knew it.

Like all along, Chud probably told Shula we are now gonna do x, y, and z this week. Let me me know what you think. Shula probably said Cam probably is best at x, y, and a. Probably did the exact same when they went heavily zone read. Shula is the one coaching Cam so he communicates with the OC

I think that almost all the coaches except for Chud had enough of the zone read as the core of the offense.

I read somewhere that the biggest problem with Chud was that he didn't listen to the position coaches, 

and maybe Rivera made him listen to Shula and the other offensive coaches at the end of the year.

While I am not a big fan of the read option as a primary staple of the offense, I think it is smart to keep it in because it keeps the D honest.  I did not see the activity during free agency or the draft in terms of building a powerful offensive line that would suggest we are abandoning the read option. 

 

The biggest thing our offense needs is a QB who does not allow adversity to take his head out of the game.  I know that comment will annoy the huggers who post whenever he is seen at the mall or on a TV commercial, but it is an opinion shared by most experts.

Thanks for the input Peter King.

I've seen you post this a few times, in a few different threads, recently. Can you stop interjecting this opinion (and a bad one at that) into threads that aren't related to Cam's on field demeanor?  As much as you're bashing people for TMZ style posting about Cam, you seem to be going out of the way to espouse your contrived opinion about how Cam handles adversity.

It would really be nice to know what was going on in the coaches meetings and players meetings the first 7 or 8 games to hear what Chud and the rest of the coaches were saying about the offense. Would be very interesting.

 

I doubt Shula was "replacing zone read," but rather Rivera made sure Chud heard what Shula was saying because Cam had Shula's ear.  Who knows though.

Cams attitude is greatly overblown. Lots of great QBs lose their poo when their team isn't holding up their end of the bargain.

What we need is for Cam not to carry us all game....then get into the 4th and force poo bc he knows there is no help and the gamble is all that makes sense.

The biggest problem with this theory is that the zone read never went away last year.  

correct. 

 

Zone read was a staple in 2011.

 

We went a tad overboard for about 4 games to start 2012....and then it remained a staple to finish out the season.  Also, horrific G play and not having a healthy Stewart didn't help while trying to ramp up the zone read.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
