Playcalling improvements

WHODATINCA · 10-02-2017, 12:30 AM

In Miami Game:

1) Shuttle pass to Kamara for the TD
2) Inside screen to Thomas
3) QB Keeper on 4th down

There was another one against Carolina, too. Can't remember it now.

When they call certain plays seemed less predictable.

Just some tweaks that, in general, seem different and more creative to me.

More well-executed IMO

They are starting to show signs of playing as a unit

Kamara is a hell of a player.

I've been tough on Payton a lot, but I'll give him his dues, that shovel pass was a perfect call.

+1.

His movements are so fluid & natural. Brees targeted him 10 times ... 10 catches.

Adjustments overall. On defense, it looks like less personal groupings. A simplified approach.

Kamara is a matchup nightmare. He will be a key to get this offense Rolling like it used to.

Plus "knock on wood" Kamara holds on to the ball.

If those plays wasn't executed the tread would be blaming Sean for his play calling.

Its all in the execution of the play.

If we did recover Ambush in the SB Sean would be long gone. It came down to the execution.

And pretty soon your going to hear "here goes Payton again, only throwing/using Kamara and forcing him the ball"
I never understood that gripe. Yea it was predictable, but it worked. Why fix something that ain't broke. We always scored enough and gained enough yardage to beat every team we played. The problem was defense.
People just got bored seeing it. Other teams still rarely stopped it.
