How will Mike Shula change our offense?

Your are arguing Dilfer and a bust at WR....is plenty of offensive talent to go with a RB and FB

 

To do much better than the god awful offensive product they had on the field? Hell yes.

 

His play calling was the #1 issue with the offense. Talent was a distant #2.

 

It was known as the run-run-pass-punt offense because that was exactly what happened 90% of the time. Columnists used to joke about it. Opposing  coordinators and players on more than one occasion called it a high school offense.

I think the offense will be be similar to what it has been (they claim to have kept Shula for the young quarterback's continuity) but with a bit more of the generic I formation runs that we saw closer to the end. If the offensive line is healthy, I imagine it will create a more stable offense, but we will probably be trading some big plays for that. I basically trust the offense to remain in the top half of the league with the cast we have. I'm more worried about how the defense comes together this season.

 

 

My worry is our ability to put together sustained drives.I love big plays but feel we will need to me multi dimensional to finish these games.I do not see cam having the quick release that Brees has to just pass it down the entire field.Our running game/short passing game needs to be effective for this offense to work .

In the past Shula was overly conservative, unable to develop winning strategies, and unable to make any in game adjustments whatsoever.

 

We can only hope that over the past few years he has improved a great deal in these areas through working for Chud.

and get the play out to cam quicker.

That bust WR was in the NFL 4 yrs...162 rec yards, which was the worst of his career, is what he did when Shula left....then he had no job.

The reason it is was run, run, run, punt....is bc passing with garbage talent.....with a GREAT D and solid run game boring football was the call. If he passed with his scrubs....it would have ruined there chances.

And how did you draw this conclusion? You went and watched the games? Witnessed the play calling?

 

Or did you read a few articles with teal colored glasses?

 

Listen, you are being overly optimistic and putting as positive a spin on it as possible. I get it. Thats what fans do. I wish I could do that.

 

Its just harder for me to do having actually witnessed his god awful play calling for numerous years.

People change and so has the game. Fox was a run run run punt kind of guy and look what he did in Denver w/The Golden Calf of Bristol. I suspect Shula will run the exact same offense we ran last year in the 2nd half of the season. Our division is too explosive to think we can play possession football...those days are long gone.

Oh I don't doubt he will have a new playbook to play with, he has Chud's

I just worry he has not improved on strategy and adjustments. He hasn't had much practice at that.

What was the alternative bc no good o coordinators wanted to sign a 1 yr contract.

Excactly.

 

Shula was the least bad choice.

 

Who knows, maybe we will get lucky and he lights it up! Could happen.

      Kraven has awful shitty comic book movie vibes all over it. It's just more of whatever studio owns the rights to the Spiderman set, but no longer actually has Spiderman anymore. Wicked is probably no more enjoyable. 3 hour long musicals are tough to endure.

      One of those guys who throws a pass that makes you yell "OMG" then immediately follows it with one that makes you go "WTF" 😳 Essentially the Brett Favre prototype...

      Panthers vs Bucs matchup

      By mav1234 · Posted

      The Giants games are an interesting comparison for sure. We could compare the Chiefs vs the Bucs as well, since at least both teams are largely the same as they are now, rather than the Giants whose coach lost his mind after losing to us. 30-24 KC in overtime. Hunt had 106 yards and Mahomes had 291. Baker threw for 200 yards, but 2 TDs. Their leading rusher had 25 yards or something. Our offense outperformed what the Bucs did vs KC, but being a division game we won't have the benefit of being overlooked. If our D plays how it did in the 4th quarter I think we can get some stops.  Can Bryce carry a second game? I'd rather not find out and have Chuba carry the load, but we'll see.
