Our New Identity as a Dink n' Dunk Offense

[PhillyB]

i love it.

 

and make no mistake, if the deep ball is there cam won't hesitate to throw it. that deep bomb to ginn was absolutely beautiful. i almost cried when he dropped it.

I don't know who tracks that. But it can be representative of the difficulty of the passes being attempted as a 15 yard pass has a lower success rate then a 5 yard pass.. I am with you in that i don't care how far the passes travel in the air, just that we are being successful

 

 

Think PFF does.  They had something about Geno and his passing.

what's happening is the coaches are realizing where we can use improvements, getting better at game planning and our players are executing much better.  There will always be drops, but Cam is finding the open guy now and that includes the underneath dump off every once in a while when needed.  We are far from a dink and dunk offense though.

It's not dink and dunk.  We are a team that's a threat to run, at both RB and QB, so their second level defenders, mostly Linebackers are worried about that even with a empty backfield.  This makes it very easy to manipulate their short and intermediate zones, because likely at least one of their LB is spying Cam.

I suspect that while I hear that Shula is calling a better game or that coaching is better, the truth is that this is what the coaches have been calling all along.  Now though, Cam is executing much better as are all the players.  It is amazing how much smarter the coaches seem to get when the players are executing well and we are winning.

I think we are maxing our potential with a shaky line and sub par receivers. Steve can't go deep as often as he used to so It's really hard to rely on Lafell to get down field.

It's amazing how much better the players execute when the playcalling improves :)

Bad Kurb!  ;)

its what we've been missing from our offense since steve beuerlein left.  you dink and dunk and draw the coverage in so you can drop it over their heads when they're not looking.  its smart football.

 

Yep.....like the long ball to Ginn.  Too bad he let it go right through his hands.

err I don't think so... way better playcalling than what we saw vs Buffalo or Arizona I feel, unless you think Cam was just calling audibles into those long developing pass plays

 

I DO think this is the same offense we ran vs Seattle, tho, just that we finally let Ginn run loose so we are seeing a few more deep passing plays (but not many more, which is OK)

Don't know where you get that though.  Cam has said he has had a lot to say about what plays they call and they are tailoring them to his likes and dislikes.  That hadn't changed.  What has changed  is better decision making for Cam and better line play.

The players who are playing on offense have said that they are calling the same plays but as Cam said last night, they players were this close even in the losses and now they are making those plays and everyone is playing with confidence.  Feel free to think it was better play calling but the players know different.  They are just executing what is being called and making better decisions.

Please.  Even the coaches acknowledged a change after Seattle, and it clearly didn't work.  I don't care if the players claim the same game plan and calls were used vs Buffalo as vs Seattle, they are wrong.

It has just as much merit your opinion, it's just opposite. :)
