Panthers sign coaching staff to extensions

Those were also the same calls that we successfully completed throughout the year.  But  nobody was complaining when they worked.  Also, I believe Cam even said that on one of the plays that he audibled from a pass to the run play, but realized too late that it wasn't going to work.

 

But to answer your question, yes, the HC typically does hear the calls on the headset and can change the call.  Fox was notorious for doing that during his time here.  However, I haven't heard of Rivera changing plays like that.

 

It's called adjustment, something Shula is known to be terrible at. He failed once again.

None of this means McDermott will be here of course if he is offered a HC job in the future.

 

 

The play calling is really the key here.

The play calls on the goal line repeatedly against the 49ers quite possibly cost us a Playoff win.

 

Keep in mind Cam called his own number at least one of those times

I am glad to see them all extended. If we give Cam a few more weapons,I hope  Shula  opens up the offensive more.

No, it's not about adjustment, it's about execution.  It's easy to blame the coach, but when he calls a play that has worked throughout the year, it is the right call.  What's really funny here is that if he had gone outside of what had been successful all year long and we didn't get it, everyone would still be calling for his head and whining that he should have done what he knew what we were good at. 

 

Oh, and you also can't gloss over the point I made about Cam audibling out of a pass play.  How can Shula be blamed for that?  I don't think anyone would want him castrating Cam by not allowing him to audible.  Sometimes you just get outplayed, nobody's fault...especially when it's against a very good team like the 49ers.

Thanks for answering that question.

Yeah I'm totally behind Shula, I think it's just easier to remember the failures over the good plays he did call, it seemed to me over the season when Cam/Shula and the offense got into a rythm, the play calling and execution at times was sharp and on point but not consistent enough, other times was methodically conservative and predictable.

I'm of the opinion give him one more year with weapons and hopefully he does better, his record doesn't fill me with optimism though but il give h a chance til he fails, but hopefully he will not.
