If Shula's play calls are so moronic, why don't we just audible?

The coaches say we are audibling on about 70% of our offensive plays this season.

 

If so, this means that only 30% of the plays we actually run are Shula's calls.

 

I have heard many complaints about Shula's "slow developing pass plays".

 

Why don't we audible out of those "slow developing pass plays" when the blitz is recognized or suspected?

because shula makes a cup of tea before getting the playcall in so when the offense breaks huddle and lines up they've got one fifth of a second to get the ball off in time and there's no time to make adjustments

 

maybe cam was alluding to this in his presser when he talked about picking up the tempo.

Shula?  Does Shula make Byron Bell sometime completely miss blocks.  Does Shula make SS, Lafell and Olsen consistently drop balls?  Does Shula fail to stop anyone when we really need it? 

 

I love Cam, love this team but thanks to NFL rewind and the coaches film, you can see that our team is not good.   Blame coaches all you want.  I want to blame Rivera as well if but to change the culture but we kill ourselves every week.  

 

So to put it plainly,

 

When Arizona started blitzing there were dump downs and open recievers and Cam didn't recognize them

Anything more than a 5 step (5 count) Bell couldn't hold his block on most occasions.

Our team drops the easiest passes.

Also they were saying in the last game that shula gives the call to dorsey, then dorsey gives the call to cam. Is that necessary? Is that normal? Seriously....can shula not give the call straight to the QB? No wonder our tempo is so awful.

Tim Ryan, the color commentator for FOX, said it on air yesterday. He said Rivera stated that Newton was changing the play at the line around 70% of the time. The quote was clearly Rivera taking up for Newton. I have no idea if it is the truth.

      Charlotte Hornets Offseason Moves

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic

      I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
