No Audibles

[rickmmrr]

Are we the only team in the NFL that does not call audibles?
E-girls blitz all day and we never adjust.
I never see an audible.
We just totally suck.

That would require Brunell to think about it. He is too worried about getting hit, and throwing the ball away.

It has nothing to do with Brunell, blame Saunders for no audibles in his system.

Lay off Brunell, we know he sucks.

Too many pages in the playbook!

maybe he didn't think he needed to change the play.

All those passing plays have plans for what to do when the D blitzes. It worked fine in KC--and recall that Brunnell wasn't sacked toaday. The iggles blitzed on that one long throw to Lloyd, so if the blitz is handeled properly, it's an opportunity to make plays. We didn't handle the blitz well, no doubt. But it's not like this system isn't designed for blitzes. My guess is MB gets "happy feet" and misses the hot read. And the line missed some blitz pickups. Sure, we could have seen better play-calling. BUt without execution, it won't help.

As for the short throws, there is always more than one wideout in those sets. Brunnell just takes the first thing he sees, and that's that. MB doesn't want to get hit, so he takes the quick short read unless he clearly has all day. My guess is Campbell will take more hits and make more plays. And that will slow the blitz.

What the good QB's do is they move and slide in the pocket. Brady, Brees and Manning do it really well. They can feel the pressure, slide and stand tall in the pocket and make an accurate throw under pressure. Audibles are something that are needed in any offense so I'm not sure why this system does not have any. I played highschool football and we even had audibles in our system. Simply pathetic.

I think that Saunders tries to design his plays so that they are immune to any look the defense gives. Shades of Spurrier. Spurrier would have tried to block Demarcus Ware with Christian Fauria too.

What a depressing thought. Saunders is Steve Spurrier without the combination routes. He's Horizontal Spurrier.

at least Spurrier knew the direction of the endzone. christ did i just say that??

i don't believe Saunder's offense was purely horizontal, i remember plenty of downfield, over the middle shots to Gonzalez. Cooley should be that guy here, he has some of the same ability.

how do you know this? was it something that saunders or coach gibbs said? if its true, which i doubt, we are the only team in organized football that doesnt have some sort of audible system. i guess our playcalling is so indestructable that no matter what defense is being played, the offense will work. what a ajoke

I don't know the answer to your first question. But how do you know we are the only team in organized football that doesn't audible?
