How long is the Huddle gonna defend Shula?

[PandaPancake]

Who here defended Shula?

[rodeo]

Who are the Shula replacement options?

 

Well the guy we picked Shula over is now tearing it up as the Bengals OC.

Anyone that's not him.

[DangerClose]

Shula isn't known for adjustments...like tempo passing etc. But Byron "Turnstyle" Bell and Philly "Muffles" Brown can be attributed to this one getting out of hand. That and something else...what is it? Can't put my finger on it. Oh wait....yeah...NO RUN DEFENSE.

What does the Bengal OL look like?

[shelbypanther]

Ask any TB fan how many titles they left on the table thanks to Shula.  He sucks balls.

[ThinkAboutIt]

The offense was one of the best in the league during that time.

It was a big play offense, not a crisp one. Go back and watch Anderson's energy before the snap for most of that TB game, and you'll see what I'm talking about. When the offense was clicking, it started before the snap. Peyton Manning's energy before the snap, it's infectious.

Cam just doesn't pop before the snap. It hurts the run game more than anything else. Anderson's pre-snap energy was part of the reason DeAngelo attacked the holes like he did in Gm 1. It set the tone. Cam drags.

This is an easy fix. Don't think it matters, then you better hope for a lot of big plays, because you will never be consistent with a lethargic offense.

[ThinkAboutIt]

I think that just about seals it, I've officially heard everything.

You've heard the right thing. Ask Gruden about a QB's pre-snap energy and watch him talk about a subject he never talks about.

No one ever does, but they all know it, and will if you bring it up.

[davos]

We better freaking bring it to the Ravens.  That team should not be able to run against us.  

[Mojo]

The problem isn't Shula, it's Cam's energy before the snap. Too slow and lethargic. Watch most QBs before the snap and they are lively and full of energy. It sets the tone. Cam drags. Change that, and the offense will get it done every night.

Has nothing to do with anything. Hope you're joking actually.

I will blame Shula for this

On the very first series, Newton is on fire throwing the ball. They are not stopping it.

On there 20 yard line with all that momentum. A run..for nothing

Being in the stadium you could feel the buzz kill

One day, he will learn to do something until they stop it. Not keep doing what you they have showed you they can stop

,,and for the love of god, can we throw a real pass to a RB that is not a screen?

[Marguide]

Shula sucks.

 

I mean, the guy gave up 454 yards to the Steelers tonight. Not to mention, he told Byron Bell to grab that guys facemask and to top it off, he had Philly fumble the kick.

 

How can we keep supporting a guy like that?

I think the shot to Cam's ribs was a bigger issue than that run on the opening drive

[Shula]

What's that? You wanted two TE sets, no huddle, and for Cam to get the ball out quickly? How about instead we do seven step drops with the occasional wildcat.
