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 PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

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

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
