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.

      The reality is Bryce outplayed a Probowl QB vs a better defense with inferior weapons. IDK what else you can ask for from your #1 overall pick that you gave up the farm for

      Ah yes, the classic and timeless 'Big Time Throws' HOF metric. Gold star for Bryce and the other QBs that make Big Time Throws. That eyeroll aside, my position has always been that Bryce's ceiling is Bridgewater/Smith levels of effectiveness, which is not good enough to have a consistent shot at winning Super Bowls in today's NFL. My issue and concern with Bryce remains as it has always been - a lack of downfield dynamics. My position has also been that this is what really hampered the Saints with Brees at QB for the last nearly decade, the inability to truly attack downfield vs the top competition when the opportunities presented themselves. That is likely complicated somewhat by the receivers on the roster and time will continue to sort that out if the roster is effectively managed. After watching the second half yesterday there were some very good throws, chiefly the throw over the middle while taking the shot that absolutely should have been roughing and then the superbly-placed TD to Moore, but still only 10 points produced and an inability to really close it out. That complete whiff on the third down pass was an untimely mistake but the kind that happens to all QBs and I don't think that's really outside of Bryce's current range of possibilities on any given throw anyway. I chuckled at the irony given all of the 'clutch' talk recently, but that's not really here or there when assessing the throw itself. Yes, 30 points should be enough to win an NFL game, but the best teams have to be able to put up points and sustain drives when needed even if carrying an unreasonable part of the load. Getting 'close' with teams like the Chiefs and Eagles is to me more a signal of the limitations I mentioned earlier (Saints-esque inability to overcome the best competition) rather than an overly positive sign, and only time will tell if he and the team can move past that. Hopefully these final games show some increased dynamics and a continued growth toward true downfield effectiveness.
