Mike Shula "We cant expect to win many games running the ball 10 times"

[cbully]

Ron will soon realize Shula's time is up if Getts don't see it first! That statement was almost in 3rd person as if he's not dialing up the plays.

He has a point but you have to have healthy bodies to do that.

[Brooklyn Bully]

I think I just got into Shula's head:

 

See, the problem is that old Shula here has this play thingamabob on paper. And on paper the play gets him 10-15 yds every damn time. But when it happens in a game, his play up the middle only gets 1-2 yds. So Shula is all ... it's the players fault, not mine.

Exactly. Even beyond healthy, you have to have the right bodies. You call plays for the team you have, you don't just call plays based on your philosophy to try to force square pegs into it.

How many passing plays go for 2 yards compared to runs? If its incomplete we lost a total of two yards. If there is contact or a catch its at least 5.

I get your point but just to play devil's advocate, how many running plays lose 7+ yards like most sacks do?

I was emphatically against the Shula hire, but once it was a done deal, it seemed appropriate to keep an open mind.

What is going on now on the Huddle is the same kind of group think that damned Greg Hardy. Shula could say "I like puppies" and most here would condemn him for it.

Meanwhile, the other side of the ball had a worse outing than the offense, and yet we don't have multiple threads to roast McDermott and company.

Coming into the year, Shula's problem was being too conservative according to most. We've seen more no huddle, more pass plays on 1st down, and he actually received a few compliments after week 2. Then we lost and he's back to being the whipping boy.

I don't know what else to say. Too many are laying way too much on his proverbial doorstep.

 

Shula has sucked or been average every year of his NFL coaching career calling plays. 

 

Our offense being lack luster is the norm. 

 

Our defense being dominant is the norm. 

 

Hence why people are not wanting to roast any D coach. 

 

Coming into this year Shula's problem was he is not an elite or even good OC. 

 

Which is still the case.

Cam has to do a better job at evading the rush, making hot reads, and throwing the ball away. 

[LA_Panther]

its like I heard the huddle call out in unison "No Sh*t"

I clicked on this thread just to type "no sh×t" ... lol

[BigBoss]

If the O-line is willing to start blocking (it's not) then lets run the ball more.

[RJK]

the offense is predictable

[Jmac]

Why you telling us for? Your the OC, fiqure something out and do something about it then.

So Shula sucks because he sucked in Tampa 10 years ago? In your mind, that defines him no matter what happens in Carolina?

Ok, so give me a short list of who we should get to replace him. Make sure they have never experienced any rough patches in their career up to now. Who ya got?

[SauceBoss]

How bout the empty promises of double tight end sets? Why does this team always abandon things like this? OH WE'RE PUTTING SMITTY IN THE SLOT THIS YEAR, never happened fuging once.
