Callahan has said he tried an assortment of protections, passing concepts and schemes. He also said they'd go thru practice and think everything was improved but then a switch happened in game and everything fell apart at QB. He's mentioned the nervous system stuff. Basically he knows even if Cam is as flawed as Levis, he can fix him. Cause he's cool under pressure.

Against Indy he threw 3 picks, had a 10 yard sack, rushed 4x for 3 yards and only got 4.62 yds per att on 34 att. That's pretty bad. This is the game where the team just said fuck it. Indy scored 24 on em in the 2nd quarter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, he's not a starter but is competent enough to play in a couple of games if needed. The best stretch of QB play the team had last year was the second half/OT of the NE game. He played really well after a not so good first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They talk about that and you could see it as the season went on after the first couple of games. Callahan wanted to run a quick passing game and get the ball out fast. Levis just couldn't do it. Eventually they had to abandon and adapt. freakingeek, begooode, Mythos27, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TeamRamrod Posted May 15 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 15 But some of TR told me he’s a moron because they only remember the one time they threw the ball 4 straight times on the goal line (and Levis missed two wide open touchdowns regardless)!

The Lions game sequence with all of the fade passes was not his finest moment but no question in a number of Levis games open receivers/should be TD's were there.

scine09 Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 I'd say the Lions moment was his worst of the year. That and when he seemed to let the fans talk him into going for it against the Jets. Typical rookie coach moment. freakingeek, and IsntLifeFunny 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudsOilers Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 His going for it at Buffalo when it was a tight game wasn't great either but let's be honest - they were not winning either the Lions or Bills games regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the first drive of each game (which was scripted and for the most part and very successful) the play calling was strictly situational and because of turnovers, penalties and poor play from the QB/Oline we were constantly put in a bad position. I believe Callahan will do much better with a functioning Oline and better talent at the skilled positions.

Justafan Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Great breakdown. Helps to explain some of the WTF moments from last year. Having said all that, I think it's naive not to have at least some healthy amount of skepticism regarding Callahan. There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic, but the team got worse in nearly every statistical sense from a year ago, the offense was putrid, and the guy they brought Callahan in to develop simply didn't. I can't think of a single thing I saw in-game that looked better with an improved roster from the year previous (IMO). Some of that can be explained by personnel (Levis was even worse than expected, and the offensive line was once again historically bad), and I'm willing to give some benefit of the doubt to a rookie coach who is also a first-time playcaller. Still, when an entire unit plays poorly, it's hard for me to buy that coaching didn't have an impact.

Popular Post OILERMAN Posted May 17 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 17 I really don't think the coaches "develop" QBs. The top QBs have the traits, are very intelligent and have the drive to make it. No one was developing Levis last year, especially with no pass protection and WRs who can't get open. No one puts QBs in a better situation than Kyle Shahahan, why didn't he develop Trey Lance?

The coaches have to help train them on the NFL level, but generally QBs are going to succeed or fail based on their own talents. They need to work with Ward on his mechanics, for example, but it’s his innate skills that will make him great.
