Why is clock management still a struggle?

[pstall]

How many time outs burned to avoid a delay of game ( and again early in the 1st half) and a to when the Rams lined up for a fake.

What's the blind spot for the coaches on this?

[Jeremy Igo]

It is what it has always been. Shula slow to get the calls in. You can see it in Cam's frustration.

[LinvilleGorge]

Shula trying to decide if he wants to run it up the middle against an eight man front or run all vertical routes against a zero blitz.

Rivera likes a slow paced offense that milks the clock so his defense can get as much rest as possible. So delay of game penalties are bound to happen.

I'm curious how many dif formations on offense we had. We kept it pretty simple with the exception of a bunch formation.

The best part is we convert less than 10% of the time on 3rd downs when we burn those timeouts....true stat bro do the math yourself.

I am not Cam bashing... I love Cam...

 

Having said that, the game that DA started, we didn't seem to have as many issues with this.

I think it's a combo of Shula and Cam, possibly because the offense is more complicated with Cam, idk...

 

I have no problem blaming it all on Shula... I'm just saying.

I don't know why Cam can't call a play on his own when Shula doesn't get a play called in time. 

Shula might be the slowest offensive coordinator in the NFL. Anyone else remember the 8 minute drive against the 49ers in the playoffs in 2013 that netted 0 points when the Panthers were down? Genius.

Because Ron Rivera is still our head coach.

Some coaches just aren't good at that aspect of the game.  Rivera is unfortunately one of them.

Reid as well, and I think he is one of the best in the league.

Wasn't an issue with Cam when we were running a hurry up offense last year when he was throwing lasers all over the field.

DA was going one read on most of those passes. Why do you think he threw that awful end zone int? First read was covered he panicked, and that's why he throws awful interceptions. He's good for a series or two max.

It may be a bunch of different things...I can't put my finger on it either.

 

Drain the clock to control time of possession?

Keep the defense rested?

Shula being instructed that's the way RR wants it?

Shula being a bad OC?

Cam not being in a hurry to get to the LOS?  (ever seen how long he kneels after everyone breaks sometimes)

 

What I do know, is 1. that it keeps us out of rhythm on offense, and that is hurting Cam.  Cam is a much better passer when he's "in rhythm", and 2, it will come back to bite us.

 

[Zaximus]

I hate that we snap at 1 second, every time.  It gives the defense an easy jump on us, probably why we have so much trouble.  

[juliosantos]

Dont get why we barely go in hurry up offense like we did last season
