Shula's play calling was not HORRIBLE, just okay

Gameday thread had a lot of crucifying of Shula, but I thought his play calling was only rough in the red zone. It seemed like a nice mix and good choices before the red zone. So I'd say there is room for improvement but also Jets don't have a bad defense either.

 

Our offense has a good chance at redemption next week.

Cam blew it the first drive with the overthrow. I think overall we've been doing pretty with the state of the O-line. 

You remembered one overthrow from an entire game? No wonder not that many people on the game thread today. There weren't much Cam negatives to create thread on, uh? Let me ask you this, no QBs complete 100% of their passes this weekend, how do you think those in-completions happen? Some overthrows, some under-throws, some too far ahead, some behind. Which one is more acceptable for you.

 

Seriously! One overthrow is what stuck in your mind?

We beat a defense that is prob better than ours with a offense that is prob not better than the Jets. So yea he did a good job. Not enough cred is given to the coaches for hiding all the weak points of our team.

I wasn't in the game day thread, so don't know what was said.

 

The play calling was way, way too conservative in my opinion. If we didn't block that punt, I'm not sure we would have won. Shula just plays things too close to the vest. Cam was throwing the ball well, we are better at pass protection than run blocking and we were facing a tough run defense. The ball should have been in the air much more and I believe the game would have been over early in the 3rd quarter.

 

I applaud the performance of our o-line and DWill. They managed to be effective against a tough defense. But I don't think we will go far if we stay this conservative going forward.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
