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.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
