Why were there no designed roll outs for cam?

[IGSaint]

We all know how horrible our o-line is yet they called no roll outs for him and just let him drop back to get sacked or pressured. However as soon as clausen comes in he rolls out of the pocket for a pass. Does that make sense to anyone? Why did they call none for cam but for clausen?

Because Shula sucks

[fieryprophet]

The only thing I can logically deduce is that the coaching staff wants to see the offense winning basic football plays, even when the defense knows they're coming. The offense is vanilla but it's time for them to nut up and beat the guy across from them without any trickery. The 2nd and 3rd string offenses have utilized a broader playbook, probably because this is the only time they'll get to run them in live action.

This makes sense because goddamn the headache I would have if they are being idiots with the way they are trying to run the first string offense if it wasn't true.

I think you will see plenty of it by the regular season.

We have won 2 games in 3 without giving the rest of the league any film on:

 

certain protection packages

2 TE sets

goal line sets

screens (there were a few)

roll outs and bootlegs

run-option

tosses and sweeps

runs outside the tackles, etc...

 

I know it hasn't been pretty.  And it is clear that we cannot be successful (at least in the short term) just running up the middle.

 

Which makes more sense: RR and Shula are oblivious and don't realize that the play calling has been ultra-vanilla, or that the are purposefully presenting the most basic formations without game planning?

 

I'm not saying they are geniuses and they have some serious issues with the power running game, but at least for now (since we are 2-1 and have beaten 2 playoff quality teams) let's assume there is a method to the madness.

We just don´t show our playbook to the competitors in the real games comming up. I am not too worried tbh, but those dropped passes made me sick last night.

I can only hope it is to hide much of what we are doing on offense for the regular season.

 

My gut tells me this is not the case though. I want to believe otherwise.

If they continue to run this offense in the regular season, that makes Shula and RR the dumbest people to every have NFL coaching jobs.

Well, to be fair, I already thought Shula was based on his past. You all kept telling me he is so much better now and has changed, so I remain hopeful you are right and that he is just holding his cards for the regular season.

 

I'm not ready to pass judgement on him yet, he may come out and light it up in week one. Who knows.

[Rules&Regulations]

I heard Shula was ill last night. Reports say it was a pretty serious case of the Herp Derps.

FIFY

I don't care if they run a high school triple option, do something impressive!

They have managed to make Barner look awful, a guy who just had a 1700 yard season. I almost cried when I saw Reggie Bush highlights from last night.

This better be the best decoy job since WW2 when they put a dead pilot somewhere off the coast of France with fake secret plans for the invasion of Europe effectively putting German reserves in the wrong areas.
