 I would like to know the plays Darnold did call an audible and how that play went.

If you can get the TV broadcast, anytime you hear Darnold come to the line and say "kill, kill", it means he changed the play. 

A) Something I learned in watching the old Quarterback Camp shows Gruden used to do is they call two plays in the huddle and when Darnold gets to the line he can "kill" the first play which means we run the second play. Gruden runs a version of the WCO like we do.

B) I noticed most of our kills are runs. Call a pass play add kill it with a run. I'm sure opposing DCs will pick up on it as well.

We will get to Tacoma and Omaha soon enough....they may pick up on "kill, kill" but those damn city names will confuse the hell outta them.

The only reason they are tempering expectations is because they don’t want to be wrong. All of these articles just say a whole lot of nothing.
 

Things turn on a dime in the NFL, but until they do just give him some credit lol. Even if he plays this well all season you couldn’t Rhule us out looking for a QB in the off-season. 

Well if Sam proves to be worth keeping, the search would be for a backup QB.

Call me crazy, but what he's describing here sounds like...ya know, audibles. And yet it's something that almost seems to sound new to him.

That can't be right, can it?

Was Gase really that bad?

If you watch the Tim Jenkins video about it that's exactly the case.

The amount of times he goes "well this is just an awful play call - and I don't think Darnold is allowed to audible" is ridiculous.

For the record I think we go to the LOS with two play calls - you hear Darnold yell 'kill kill' quite a lot. He's checking into the alternate play call then.

[Mr. Scot]

It's generally pretty obvious to everybody when you're calling an audible. Probably don't need to worry too much about that.

Now, if you develop a tendency with your audibles (like always going to the run) that's something a good opposing DC might figure out.
