Flip Flopping On DA Again

AsylumGuido · 06-15-2023, 03:15 PM

Something on offensive playcalling that I have heard mentioned more than once that was shared by Bill Parcells. He said that no play makes it into an individual game's playbook unless that play is successfully executed at least ten times either in practice or in walk-throughs. If it is a play designed for a specific receiver, for example, and was practiced ten times successfully with that player and that player (or any other critical player) goes down before or during the game that play is "red-lined" (the term Parcells used) and not used in that game.

What I'm trying to say is it is impossible to read Carmichael's mind and know what he is thinking during the game. Also, let's not forget that the Saints' standard offense commonly includes two variations of a play involving a pass or a run that can be audibled by the QB regardless of what the original call is coming from Carmichael. How many times did Dalton wimp out and go with the more conservative variation?

Now this is something that Dennis Allen was, and still is, directly playcalling ...

If LD Bell can't legitimately compete (he has weapons) THIS SEASON in a soft NFC South, he doesn't need to be HC. The same goes for Pete C as OC.

Let's not kid ourselves, DA win/loss record as HC (.283) is what it is.

He still has the worst winning percentage of any NFC South HC ... including Falcons Arthur Smith

.

"Git er done".

I certainly think we need to give him some time.

DA I think knows the weaknesses of the roster and has really tried to address them. I often felt Payton had such an ego that he filled the roster with UDFA's because Brees would pick up all the slack.

Sean Payton had a great first year, followed by 2 years that could have easily got him fired, before winning the Super Bowl.

Not saying that DA is THE guy, but if this team can win the division and make the playoffs, then that to me is a step in the right direction.

Coaches don't coach during the offseason. He's still on the hot seat, and rightly so. Of course I hope we win and he proves to be a capable coach, but he'll need to demonstrate major growth as a leader in year 2. So I say sign the petition but file it away for now.
