That is such a nonsequitor. Just because he scrambled 16 times for first down out of a total of 20 per game or over 300 first downs hardly means anything about Shula. And just because he scrambled for a first down didn't mean he scored any points. The reality is that he ran for 6 TDs and some of those were scripted by Shula and some were Newton innovating.

Sure Cam was a big part of the offense but to say that those scrambles proves anything about Shula stretches the bounds of of any kind of reality. I know you want to discredit him but that argument wouldn't hold water in an elementary school debate.

And yet you still tried to refute it... Poorly.

I thought our running game was decent throughout the year.  Without the threat of WRs that can get open, opposing defenses just focus on stopping our RBs.  We desperately need some balance to open the running game up.  JStew and DWill aren't going anywhere next season so we gotta spread the D.

Quarterbacks make or break OCs as well as head coaches. That is hardly news.  What team has a crappy quarterback statistically and yet put up big numbers on offense this year??

 

Its news when the QB makes the OC when everthing the OC plans breaks down and the the biggest plays of the game are improvised, having zero to do with the OC.

Given that both Cam and Shula said that they collaborate together and run the plays that Cam are most comfortable with and that Cam has a lot of say in the gameolanning your assumptions cant be correct. Secondly when a team runs almost 1000 plays a season even if 50;are improvised that leaves 95% scripted.

There are quarterbacks like Russell Wilson who improvise a lot more than Cam. I wonder if their OC gets the same undeserved criticism. They are 17th in total yards.

      BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal.

      I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
