I dont know what the stats are for Chuds offense and the percentage we ran our plays from the gun, but I dont believe there's any doubt that plays to Cam's strengths.  Shula wants to traditionalize the offense to more power run, playaction type stuff which will benefit our runningbacks... that is if the line can make lanes.  Well, so far in three games, that hasnt been the case.

 

Other than the lines inability to block decently, at least thus far, does anyone else think that taking snaps under center may be a weakness for Cam?  I don't want to think so but something is up.  We've seen more erratic throws than normal this preseason and I'm just trying to find out where the root of the problem is stemming from.

In the shotgun, I Cam's odds to protect himself MUCH better.

Cam has been clear, his danger is in the pocket....and I agree.

OL can't open up holes therefore I think against a tough D....he needs to see plenty of shotgun

Definitely. I for one wish we would take a page from New England, Philly, and even Baltimore tonight and run more no huddle hurry up offense.  Cam's best drive tonight was during the 2 minute drill. If Lafell catches the ball I believe we score a TD. Philly's no huddle ate us alive and the Ravens first drive also. I'm not saying we do it all game like a Chip Kelly, K-Gun style offense(though I think it would be better than Foxball with this oline) but we should do it ALOT more than just after the 2 minute warning. We see how it puts pressure on our defense to stop it, why aren't we doing that to other teams? Hopefully we do come week 1.

      Isaiah Simmons: "A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma"

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I hear you and I have said the same thing at times, but blanket statements are accurate part of the time at best.  I have also coached kids who had the "tools" but they were slow and unproductive on the field--and a few adjustments to the scheme or teaching techniques, and the light comes on.  We call them "late bloomers."  Based on my limited experience, it should be called "coaching."  As a former coach, if you gave me kids with the tools and I could not get them to perform at the level of their ability, then I have failed.  The coaches know this, so their timetables to win may be shorter than the time they have to develop a player--I think a lot of talent goes down the disposal, which is why the success rate for drafted players is so low. In my view, based on my career as a professor and researcher, my job is to produce successful people for the workplace.   I use data to identify central problems and I use my relationships with my students to strengthen weaknesses.  I have a limited amount of time to do this before a decision is made about their development.  In this case, I would look at the variables (data and the situational influences unique to this individual that may have stunted growth) and not the ineffective player as the center of the problem.  The team has already interviewed him, talked to his college coaches, measured him, etc. So I would minimize the assumption that the kid is the problem and look at his system of support and teaching strategies.  Nobody wants to admit THEY might be the problem.  To blame a first-rounder for failing, you have to admit either you did not properly identify the prospect's potential (which is your job) or you were unable to prepare that prospect (with all the tools that got him the job) to succeed (also your job).  So are we going to blame the 24-year-old kid with all the tools to succeed for sucking or are we going to take responsibility for his success as his mentors and teachers?

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      i was hoping they might bring robinson back but he went to the darkside.  They will need to sign a free agent as Evero does not like to start rookies.

      Flexibility. If they don’t work out we simply walk away. If they look great we have the first crack at extending them.
