The Official Shula Thread

I figured this could be a space to be the primary focus on our new OC now that the new season has commenced and given there will likely be weekly firestorms concerning this dude.  

 

After game 1:

 

Honestly, he did ok.  Way more on the conservative side than I would have liked but considering the opponent and the lack of execution on certain players' parts, I think he managed...well, not sh*tty.

 

Very simplistic play designs, minimal pistol but still used it, and a lot of short patterns for the WRs.  I wish we tried to see what Ginn and Hixon are capable of but it seemed like a very straight forward 1RB-1WR-1TE focused game with some help from Tolbert.  Not even much play actions it just seemed very dull but an offense we could have won with if it was executed better.  

 

yay team

 

What say you?......

I'm more than happy with Shula play calling. I didn't like the DeAngelo run on 3rd & 2, and also the throw to Smitty with Sherman on him on 3rd & 2, which I'm not sure is totally on him, but other than that I like what he's looking to do with our offensive.

 

If we continue to execute and not drop passes, there's no telling how the game would've ended up.  When your O Line is getting push, you have to take advantage of it.

 

Shula has made a believer out of me.

 

Hixon didn't play, and we did alot of playaction passes.

Really? dang I must have missed that

 

Was that a gametime decision deal?

 

...my memory maybe fuzzy from at the game today lol but I don't recall many play actions trying to set up a big play early after it seemed our OLs run support was rather decent.

what we saw today was an actual pro football gameplan designed to take advantage of another team's weaknesses, something we haven't seen in a while. it was composed of plays designed to adapt to the conditions on the field, which were unique ones given seattle's strengths and weaknesses.

 

execution was shoddy and i do wish cam had taken more deep shots, but i'm not worried about shula at all. i think he called a good game.

49 plays. 49 friggin plays and we held a TOP advantage until the fumble. That disappoints me. Also, the fact that two seasons ago we could almost win a game by out scoring someone, we now all of the sudden have to hope and pray for a score with virtually the same players, and a better defense. I just wonder how we can't take shots on offense, or at least speed things up when we have a defense that we can count on now. We have the potential to put up 24 in one half on offense, but if play calling doesn't change, it'll never happen. Our defense can now help us sustain those leads yet we may never see them again

    • And perhaps to a lesser degree, Coker, Umanmielen, Ransom, & Smith-Wade. 
    • I'm OK with it. I think it's a little high considering his injury history and weight issues, but Coker seems to be a solid kid that has an understanding of what it takes to be a pro, and I believe that they believe that he did enough last season to show that he's ready to be a consistent force within the offense. Let's go, Coker, be all that everyone, including yourself, knows that you can be!
    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.
