<![CDATA[Browns to auction off play-calling duties to benefit coronavirus relief]]> Bonus points if you get the reference from the thread title.  Too much CoVid talk - let us get back to football.

The Brownies are having a 2 type contest to allow fans a shot at helping script the first 15 plays of our opening pre-season game.    So I'll make this easy, give me your first 15.  Ideally that's about 2 drives dependent on field position. 

Go into some detail as well. No, not "run, run, pass" or "Chubb right, play action". Give us an idea on formation, personnel, concept and what you're looking to exploit with tendency, down and distance.   Really challenge ourselves here. You can link pics, plays, videos, etc etc. I just ask you relate them to the Browns personnel re: execution if you do so.    

Keep in mind, first opponent is Da Bears and how their defense looks sans Fangio will be somewhat up in the air.  

I'll have mine later when I finish up all this damn paperwork and laundry.

Aaaaaaaaaand Go!

All I know is Nick Chubb was made for the ZBS. He’s going to have options Bounce it or bend his runs depending on what’s available and he can see the field well.

Everything else was a disaster.

So I'm going to put together a play call sheet of language I'm familiar with and just go into my own detail after I've typed it out.

I like Eddie Jackson at Safety too.  You need to keep this group off balanced.  They are going to fly to the ball maybe they get a tad too aggressive at times 

I like our matchup with Kyle Fuller, Artie Burns and Skrine on OBJ, Landry and maybe mismatched on our TEs in the red zone.  I may test them early and often.

lol...

In 20 minutes I almost completed my first call... but in my defense I had 3 different audibles.

At least I figure the 2nd series should get easier when the 1s sit.

As part of the All-In Challenge benefiting coronavirus relief, the Cleveland Browns are offering the chance for two people to assist in scripting the first 15 plays of a preseason game.

Lots of mismatches vs a base defensive personnel. Hopefully we can establish a run game with the new O-Line. 

Also excited to see if any formations utilize Chubb and Hunt at the same time.

And this is a totally new offense for the Browns. Any good tips on where to find the details would be most appreciated. I really like the fact it is kind of old school run first mentality. Keep it away from the opponent on the surface seems like the real intent. 3 yards and a cloud of dust? I'm a willing student at this point.

NFL.com...  Film archive.  Free for the month.  Coach Stef loves his OZ as his base run call, but given the strengths of Chicago's personnel on defense.  My call sheet so far has been to stay away from perimeter runs and misdirection. The Bears eat those alive.            The OZ is to setup the boot action and vice versa. The runs are designed to maximize lanes, cutback efficiency, create pursuit issues and to tire out the bigs on the other side.    It's a system with deep history, look no further than the edler Shanahan.

First I have to review an awful lot of Minn. tape to see just how he runs this offense. Gimme a few weeks. Got too much bicycling to do first (new tires & tubes). Just took it for a 20 mile spin yesterday. Ain't gonna get no racquetball back any time soon. They say even when they open back up you have to play yourself alone. I'd rather keep herding the cats away from the woods out back twice a day than spend 15 minutes practicing shots for no opponents.
