Stefanski stated in his presser that whoever on the staff is the best at calling plays will call the plays. If it’s him, then so be it. If it is someone else, then so be it. Soup reads into that “STEFANSKI WILL BE CALLING THE PLAYS AND THAT SUCKS!!!”

Arguing over Stefanski calling plays is premature anyway. It’s like arguing who is at fault over…[Read more]

I don’t think he’s going to be bringing in any of those guys. I’m betting on him snagging one of the 2 “OC’s” from the 49ers. LaFleur or McDaniel.

You didn’t link any articles about Childress’ hand in ‘developing’ Stefanski’s offense. Or DeFelipo’s hand. Why not? Or perhaps more importantly who cares? Why do I care which coaches helped inspire the offense he’s going to bring to Cleveland. All I care is that it works.

I agree with a lot of that BF4L. Money Mitchell is a starting CB in this league. Greedy has him beat in pure athletic ability but Mitchell seems to always be in good position.

Also yes the defense really got bad once we were down to like 5 healthy D linemen, 2 of whom we signed off the street just to fill our roster. And by the end of the year I…[Read more]

Quoted for stupidity.

The irony is that if he DOES call plays, he will be Soup’s favorite playcaller in the past 2 decades. No crazy formations, no weird packages. Every play looks the same at the line. Tons of playaction and heavy dose of running. Also watch for us to get a LEGIT fullback. Not some converted H-back but a real honest to…[Read more]

Mike Pettine did not call his own plays and failed.

Rob Chudzinski did not call his own plays and failed.

Eric Mangini did not call his own plays and failed.

Romeo Crennel did not call his own plays and failed.

Souptistics again.

I think Wilks did an excellent job last season. The roster was torn apart most of the year and we ended up starting some guys that are probably back to tending bar now. We played the first quarter of the season without our good CB’s, which might be why we played so much zone. Except for zone coverage, I thought the scheme was good and he got good…[Read more]

Stefanski called all the plays for the Vikings this year.

If you listened to his presser he talked a lot about coaching without ego. Doing what’s best for the team. It sounds like once his staff is assembled he’ll decide who is the best at it and they will do it.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/01/14/haslam-calls-report-hell-get-the-game-plan-inaccurate-and-irresponsible/

Responding to a report that Haslam told Stefanski that they’ll have weekly meetings on Mondays and that he has to turn the game plan into the owner on Fridays, Haslam said the first part is true but the second part is f…

But when they showed the plans to you, you could at least verify that there is a plan…

And the analytics team can at least tell that THIS wouldn’t be good:

Panthers also asked to interview Andrew Berry. The Eagles denied their request. That’s strange that they would allow him to interview with us for that position but not CAR.

You’re right, it’s stupid. They shouldn’t have to do it, it’s remedial shit.

Just like the sign on the McDonalds coffee cups that says “contents may be hot”. What kind of idiot doesn’t know that hot coffee might be hot? And yet someone didn’t think it was hot, spilled it on themselves, and sued for millions and won. So now every coffee cup…[Read more]

So if the owner asks for the game plan and the HC taps his own noggin and says ‘It’s all up here…’ that’s ok? Or if he turns in the Maurice Carthon playbook, that’s cool? If that’s the case then yes, scrap everything you worked on all week. How many games could have been won last season if this had happened?

Just trying to give you some…[Read more]

You have proven that indeed Kubiak was hired as an offensive consultant.

That’s what you were trying to prove, right?

For GM I want whichever guy makes Soup throw up in his mouth.

So I’m gonna play Devil’s Advocate.

1) One of the biggest issues with Freddie (this came straight from Landry’s mouth) was that there was no game plan every week. And even when there was, they didn’t follow it. I can see that being a big issue and Haslam doesn’t want that to ever happen again. So he wants to see that there is a plan and it makes…[Read more]

Ah the old “Kubiak’s Fingerprints” explanation. Very believable.

The only thing I didn’t like about Wilks was that we always played zone in the backfield. We’ve got 2 of the best young CB’s in the game who have excelled at man coverage their whole life.

That’s one way to look at it. Another way: ‘Their offense was heavy pass until Cook got healthy.’
