Mccoy And Audibles
-
How many years is it gonna take before the offense is allowed to use one of most basic and useful tools, Cal? Please stop with your apologist bullshit. It week 11...not week 2. The fact u can watch this abortion of a team and still defend this worthless coach speaks volumes about your football comprehension.

Shurmur clearly hasn't been allowing audibles. The proof is in the game film. Ask yourself this...why are the Browns more effective in the last two minutes of halves? Because they're in a hurry up offense. That gives the QB more flexibility to adjust to what defensive looks he's getting. It's more ad libbed by the QB. It has to be. That's why McCoy is more effective when Shurmur takes the training wheels off.

McCoy has clearly regressed from last year..thats as plain as the nose on you're face
The question that begs to be answered is why..These coaches are supposedly an "offensive minded"
staff..How is this possible?

I was listening to Colt's press conference, and the reporters asked him on that last drive where they ran it 3 straight times to run the clock down, whether he could audible the play or why he didn't, and he answered "No, the coach doesn't allow me to audible." or something like that.
how common is that amongst coaches and QBs? I think it also reflects on Shurmur not trusting McCoy to make the right decision, which isn't exactly putting faith into your QB.
McCoy has looked a lot worse this year than last year, so maybe Shurmur is limiting him more so than just not being able to call audibles.

Interesting...I live in Baltimore and the local sports talk shows are always hammering on Flacco. Last year some caller complained about Flacco not making any presnap adjustments...I think that came after the Ravens/Steelers game when Polamalu sacked Flacco and changed the game. The Ravens OC Cam Cameron (who by the way is the town's enemy No. 1) said that audibles are overrated. I couldn't believe it. Taking that ability away from a quarterback is like telling a pitcher he can only throw fastballs.
Flacco hasn't developed much in 4 seasons. If they clamp down on McCoy the same way, he won't either.

I hate Shurmur more and more every week. You are correct as he answers the question "do you have the option to audible?" at 2:17 in this clip and answers he answers no.
Colts been a QB for over a full season and hes not even allowed to audible out of a bad formation after reading the defense WTF! This coach might be the worst in NFL history! Andy Dalton has played half a season and audlbles constantly for the Bengals, I watched Colt audible numerous times as a rookie last year out of some bad play calls.
WHAT THE xxxx IS WRONG WITH THIS ORGANIZATION AND MIKE HOLMGREN FOR HIRING THIS STUPID PIECE OF SHIT!

Here's a note to Holmgren: You fired Mangini after a year because "he wasn't on the same page". You going to fire Un-Shur-mer after a year because he can't freaking read the page you and Heckert are on?
So here's what I want you to do, Mr. Holmgren. Murmer has another two FG game against the Jags, fire his ass immediately, admit you made a huge mistake hiring the Bozo, either take over yourself or promote Jauron to HC, and get yourself a real HC next year, or at least get a decent OC.

Wow, just wow... It's sad, I had to listen to all my games on the radio or attempt to watch with my terrible internet last year while I was in Missouri.... at least those games (mostly) were entertaining... What kind of game are we expecting this week? It's been so bad this year that I haven't even bothered to watch.

We get to see the browns win this week.

We get to see the browns win this week.
Provided they can stop the two major things going for the Jags--Jones-Drew and Shurmur

*********************************************
You talkin about audibles? I'm all for that. I'm just saying that the audibles don't mean that Shurmur doesn't trust McCoy, etc etc etc etc.
I'm just not venting against Shurmur, eh... much, until he has a RT, another blue chippie
WR, and a bigtime RB since I don't see Hillis staying with the Browns. How many years? It hasn't been one year yet with this WC offense.
I like what I see - on the few plays the offense actually gets good blocking vs no blitz.
I was shocked when the blocking held up long enough to run that double reverse pass jobbie. If I had the time, I'd go back and rerun that play
to see how they pulled it off. That strike to Little was an excellent downfield throw that several whining venters around here refuse to admit Colt can make.
But audibles? Why give Colt the responsibility to call audibles when they don't have the RT to make the blocks?
When Pinkston isn't getting bullrushed into the backfield? When Oglesbywanasomething (rb @@) isn't hesitating on a quick hitter up the middle?
Audibles are for established systems will the personel in place. The Browns are closer than in years past - but a few major weaknesses remain.
I just don't believe in projecting my disgust with the offense on the qb. or the hc. or the rb. I see blocking on the right side failing miserably, killing the offenses' chances.
I'm po'd at Shurmur on a few things. But being outraged at Shurmur because he isn't emotional, and because he is,,, is pretty bogus. If this Browns offense had two or three major
-solid- players added, this offense could roar and all this whining goes away.
Until then, I'm disgusted at a few things, and very annoyed that the offense doesn't work well. it's the reasons for the failing that I disagree on with some folks.
Would some of you bashers of Shurmur and Colt be happier with watching the Viking's offense fail miserably? Ponder has a worse day than Colt, and Adrian Peterson
only gains 52 freakin yards the last game, in a 45-7 loss?
With the Browns, Peterson might have gotten a hundred yards. It's a team game, and the Browns and Vikings don't have all the pieces in place. The vikes just have
different pieces missing.
When the oline lost Steinbach, it was a huge hit. The oline isn't getting the job done on the right side, and Pinkston has failed badly once in a while, too.
Until all the missing pieces are put into place NEXT DRAFT AND FA...
it's a whole lot of misdirected angst, imho, to lambast the wco, Mccoy, and Shurmur. -
Its been pretty obvious that shurmur doesnt let colt audible and is doing the same unjustifiable crap every other coach we have had does, and that is trying to make the QB something they are not and fit in a system they do not play well in..
Shurmur is not an offensive minded coach and he most certainly isnt a knowledgeable QB friendly coach..
The idea for any coach should be to put round blocks in round holes and reserve the square holes until you have square blocks, so simple yet every coach we get insists on trying to force round blocks in square holes, history proves it does not work and any coach that cant get that should not be a coach for long, just like mangini shurmur does not get it..
-
The back side of that is - that the Browns have never drafted intelligently before. Some round blocks, some square blocks,
some rotten blocks, and all sorts of block heads. NO system fits that. Shurmur needs a legit OC. I predict there will be one before the draft .

interestingly enough the opposite of this would be John Fox, he changed the entire system to better suit Tebow and give the team the best chance to win, not force Tebow to play something he can't(at least he can't for now).
sucks Shurmur doesn't realize that heh.
