Who is calling the defensive plays on defense this year?


Happy Panther

Does every team have an on-field defensive play caller/audibler? I'm not so sure of that, and I think it's possible we won't have one. And even if we do and it is Shaq or something I'd think there's a great chance he won't have anywhere near the free reign that Luke did, and it'll be much more limited/controlled by the coaching staff. Luke's ability on the field alone was HoF worthy, but there's very few in the history of the league who had the mental command of the game that he did on the field. Peyton Manning is his offensive counterpart. It's rare you come across someone who can be that field general, and without one I'm sure we'll have at least a slightly different approach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

On a side note.... Earl Thomas was the field general/playcaller for the Seahawks D all those years they were elite, and guess who happens to be on his couch right now waiting for that call...

 

(not advocating for him; sarcasm)

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
