re: Official Offensive Playcalling Thread

Was listening to the radio today and Phil Sims was talking about some of the pro games this weekend and some of the pro teams.

His point was that a team should have an identity on offense. If they choose a predominately running offense it will often not be pretty but it is what it is. (in the book Junction Boys, Bryant was said to want a QB with a throwing motion looked like he was flinging chicken shite off his fingers - he didn't want them throwing much - of course that was before his Namath and Stabler years I guess)

I think Miles (I would say coaching staff but I think it comes down to Miles) has decided that the identity that gives the team the best chance of sucess is running the ball, running the QB from time to time to mix it up, throw it sparingly, and throw it deep even more sparingly (once or twice a game).

If he has chosen this route, then perphaps he feels JJ fits the bill a little more - maybe a slightly better runner than JL.

It's his career so we'll see how his plan plays out. If it was me I'd pick my best plan and stick to it no matter the howls from the penut gallery.
