Who is calling the defensive plays on defense this year?

[Happy Panther]

Like Luke did last year. Sorry if that's a dumb question.

I would assume Shaq

It's a new coach so old allegiances don't matter. Either Shaq or Whitehead since he's the mike.

I think I read somewhere it’s Shaq, but I can’t find a source.  Maybe I dreamt it.

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)

Well, they called me, but I am not available but on about 4 Sundays, so I am out

I would assume Shaq, but that said I assume we’re going to have some over simplified college scheme for at least the first few games.

Fug it, give Luke a headset and a seat with a good view. Let him call it.

But one guy has headphones in his helmet on D right?

2 guys can have it.  But only 1 guy on the field is active at a time.
