Shula proponent behind replacing zone read last season?

In Evan Silva's rundown of NFL rosters he mentioned that Shula was the one that integrated a more traditional running game the end of last season.  Not sure if it's speculation or not.  Silva is very knowledgeable, but I'm not sure if he's plugged in enough to have that kind of information.  It could easily just be someone mis-remembering something about an "unimportant" team

 

That being said, if true, it bodes well for the Offense.  I believe Cam will be much more effective in a traditional scheme, with improvised scrambles, and the OCCASIONAL zone read.  Hopefully that is the direction Shula is going.

Sounds like bull.

Chud comes from the Norv. They run. He ran in Clev. They ran in 11. They ran most of 12.

I don't think because of 4-5 games the QB coach suddenly became the OC and no one knew it.

Like all along, Chud probably told Shula we are now gonna do x, y, and z this week. Let me me know what you think. Shula probably said Cam probably is best at x, y, and a. Probably did the exact same when they went heavily zone read. Shula is the one coaching Cam so he communicates with the OC

I think that almost all the coaches except for Chud had enough of the zone read as the core of the offense.

I read somewhere that the biggest problem with Chud was that he didn't listen to the position coaches, 

and maybe Rivera made him listen to Shula and the other offensive coaches at the end of the year.

While I am not a big fan of the read option as a primary staple of the offense, I think it is smart to keep it in because it keeps the D honest.  I did not see the activity during free agency or the draft in terms of building a powerful offensive line that would suggest we are abandoning the read option. 

 

The biggest thing our offense needs is a QB who does not allow adversity to take his head out of the game.  I know that comment will annoy the huggers who post whenever he is seen at the mall or on a TV commercial, but it is an opinion shared by most experts.

Thanks for the input Peter King.

I've seen you post this a few times, in a few different threads, recently. Can you stop interjecting this opinion (and a bad one at that) into threads that aren't related to Cam's on field demeanor?  As much as you're bashing people for TMZ style posting about Cam, you seem to be going out of the way to espouse your contrived opinion about how Cam handles adversity.

It would really be nice to know what was going on in the coaches meetings and players meetings the first 7 or 8 games to hear what Chud and the rest of the coaches were saying about the offense. Would be very interesting.

 

I doubt Shula was "replacing zone read," but rather Rivera made sure Chud heard what Shula was saying because Cam had Shula's ear.  Who knows though.

Cams attitude is greatly overblown. Lots of great QBs lose their poo when their team isn't holding up their end of the bargain.

What we need is for Cam not to carry us all game....then get into the 4th and force poo bc he knows there is no help and the gamble is all that makes sense.

The biggest problem with this theory is that the zone read never went away last year.  

correct. 

 

Zone read was a staple in 2011.

 

We went a tad overboard for about 4 games to start 2012....and then it remained a staple to finish out the season.  Also, horrific G play and not having a healthy Stewart didn't help while trying to ramp up the zone read.

      Who here was NOT HAPPY we won yesterday....

      By Castavar · Posted

      I'm usually pro tank in situations like these. Like when Rhule was fired, I wanted us to tank hard and trade anybody worth a damn and just continue losing. I also wanted us to tank that last Saints game in like 2020 I wanna say to get a better pick. However, this year just seems different. I feel like we have something with this coaching staff and building some culture and personality. At some point you really do have to figure out how to win close games. This year feels like that year when Cam and Co just kept losing close games and went like 6-10. Then the following year we just showed out. And like others have said, we've been so ass at drafting that it has changed my whole mindset about wanting to tank and lose games. Fug that, I just want a win wherever I can get it now. Yesterday felt great!

      At this point I'm indifferent to wins/losses and solely interested in seeing team and staff development on the field. In general, growing teams need to stay mindful when winning certain types of games to not let it mask continued on-field deficiencies, whatever they may be for a given team. That's where the quality of the coaching and FO come in and that's where the rubber will continue to meet the road if Carolina pulls out more of these types of games. This season is nearly a wrap. My metric for success was continued improvement and development on the field and I think it's fair to say that that is happening (degree is debatable, but it is happening), a stark change from prior regimes. Improving this offseason will be no small order and time will tell how things shake out.

      I’ve always argued for a better draft pick and explore what you have on the team in poo time when the season is already lost vs a win. However seeing this poo franchise draft like ass and be completely inept for 7 years at this point I will take a win if only to feel a brief moment of relief from misery. We are the new Browns…take every crumb you get, the future is already always bleak with Tepper at the helm.
