Through 2 games, can we all agree the playcalling is better?

[RumHam]

I haven't really bitched as to why a certain play was run at a wrong time. Yesterday, down 14 in the 4th, we ran the ball to start the quarter and that is honestly the only time where i've been like why? Norv has definitely instilled confindence that it won't be a bone headed decision as to why we lost a game as opposed to other factors. More screens would be nice, but overall the passing isn't just 10 yard hitch or curl routes. Plus Armah gets involved.

Is it possible to get someone worse than Shula?

[The Lobo]

I have been pleased with the play calling. We just need to play the best WRs and we will be solid. 

[Varking]

I think he still needs time to see what we have against live competition. Adjustments were made from game 1 to game 2 and we showed improvement. We are headed in the right direction. 

[Castavar]

Agreed. There really hasn't been a "WTF was that?" moment yet. Turnovers are down, delay of games are down, sacks are down (with a patchwork o-line), and Cam's completion % is WAY up. . That is Ron's perfect offense he wanted. Now, if Ron would just hold up his end of the bargain.....

I guess I just expected more. I'll just leave it at that.

In my opinion, the playcalling is way better - the personnel on the field for some of the plays may not be optimal for the proper execution of said plays, however.  

[Dave Gettleman's Shorts]

I have no problem with the play calling. Our issue is using the wrong players for certain situations. Why is CJ Anderson out catching passes when we have Cmac and why is Cmac running the ball at the goal line.

[Dunn]

I'm still confused why we haven't used some of our underneath crossing routes that we displayed in the pre-season...maybe they were designed really for Samuel and Moore?  Seems like a solid way to get some guys separation.  

[gmonjimbo]

I really liked the two plays where we sent Ian Thomas up the seams to clear the middle of the field for Jarius Wright and CMC. That's the play design we lacked. Offense will improve once we get some players back from injury and Norv finds the right balance with his personnel. 

[brandon_87]

Considering we have such a patch work OLine, I love what I've seen. Some plays don't work, but they were also designed to have a starting caliber O Line giving time to develop. 

 

Personally, I'd like to see less of CMC as a primary receiver, and more of Moore and Samuel (when healthy) to utilize their speed and mismatches they create.

Situational personnel choices need to improve.

I agree.

Personnel substitutions, however?  Choosing starters?  Through 2 games, I have been puzzled by decisions in those areas A LOT.

Going from Shula to Turner is akin to a man dying of thirst being given a bottle of Pepsi.

Yeah, Pepsi might suck, but as far as the thirsty man is concerned ITS THE BEST THING EVAR!
