The mastermind play calling of Shula


Ruff

Recommended Posts

@BobbyRosinski: Watching some more Panthers. Biggest play of game was 1st & 10 Car at Seattle 41 with 7:40 left in the 3rd. Panthers down 14-10

@BobbyRosinski: Newton goes to pass and only WR on field is Bersin. Really Brenton Bersin. Cam ends up getting sacked. Got Shula'd

He calls the plays after seeing the personnel on the field.

"Let me see... I only see Bersin out there... Power Route to Bersin!"

What? Haha no he doesn't. He controls everyone that goes on the field for each offensive play unless directly overruled by Rivera.

What you describe would be mindnumblingly retarded. Why would you have a setup where a coach had to call a play based on the players put onto the field by a completely different coach?

Edit: Positional coaches also have some input but ultimately it's Shula's decision.

Or being 1st and 10 it was a run play that Newton checked to a pass. Use your brain.

 

Well according to Rivera, Newton has one or two "Shula Approved" audible options when allowed. Assuming this was the case, the hot route to stud receiver Bersin was the "check" that Shula allowed Newton to switch to from the favored run call. In either case, it's complete garbage. 

 

Good job making no point.

Broken plays happen. They likely happen due to the QB.

    • I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.
    • I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--
    • After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
