I don’t even think we ran Air Coryell...  We had like 5 passes beyond 40 yards in first 10 games of the season.  Our WRs ran 10-15 yard slants and comeback routes.  I think Shula tried to mix West Coast offense with some college garbage and it completely failed.  Even when we had fast guys like Byrd and Samuel, we barely had routes designed for them beyond 15 yards.

It was the EP we ran under Shula.

I know what Turner has run but with our personal it's hard to see us run a full Air Coryell. Definitely need more Speed and McCaffrey doesn't fit. Thus why I really would have liked them to interview a few people and see how they would use our personal.

You couldn't be more wrong with that statement.

No he doesn't. I know what you're going to say. Hey he's Sproles! Well he was just a change of pace back in Norvs system. McCaffrey isn't a in between tackles runner. He's a Swiss army knife best used in a EP system like NE runs.

According to who? You?  You are just parroting what all these other huddle know nothings spout off because your favorite player didn't get drafted.

TRADE ALERT one thing I got from this was when he was in Cleveland he had the flash lead the league in yards 1,600 I betting we he will be a target wr in free agency

A true Air Coryell system spreads the field so much that the defense has to play sideline to sideline and deep.  Receivers are always running in opposite directions.  For some reason, shulas offense had receivers running routes toward and often Into each other.  Made no sense at all.  Guys never got open because the defense had it easy...all our receivers ran to each other drawing multiple defenders into every play.

That won’t be a problem with Norv.  If we add speed, you can be rest assured that Cams huge arm will be taken advantage of with downfield shots in 1 on 1 coverages.

Yes I was always yelling why all of our WR was all in the same spot when the ball was thrown .. less of a chance of an INT

Turner offense requires a dependable scat back.

We ran a modified version of the air coryell under Shula. It was called the air crayon.

After reading this article, it seems like we will have an offense very similar to Chuds few years back.  Turner loves stretching the field and air it out.  Turner also loves big bruising backs with wheels who can also play TE and WR.  Turner loves big physical WRs who are fast.  Turner also loves getting the ball out fast.

Looks like we will be adding #1 WR and #1 RB this offseason.

Norv Turner, former San Diego Chargers head coach and former offensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys, also implemented a version of the Air Coryell style of offense. The Turner strain of Air Coryell offenses are still very reliant on a good receiving TE. Norv Turner strains sometimes feature an 'F-Back' (formerly known as an 'H-Back' in the 1980s), a hybrid tight end/wide receiver/fullback/running back. An F-Back is a multi-purpose, unpredictable tool for the offense. On any play he may carry the ball, lead block or pass block, play as a wide receiver, or run a tight end route. He is also part decoy, as his unpredictable role forces defenses to keep an eye on him, thereby opening up other opportunities for the offense.

Norv Turner quit the Vikings because he was not running the offense, Zimmer constantly changed Turner plans so Turner quit.

Turner is coming here because he will 100% own the offense.  Rivera will have no say in it.

Armahgeddon is upon us!
