Play Calling

[Okema]

I know Lynch & Lewis were co offensive coordinators but who was actually calling the plays last year? If it was Lewis will be interesting to see if there is any change with Lynch. You would assume that they would differ to some degree.

From the way the staff made it sound last season, Lynch, Lewis, and Babers shared the duties.

Definitely a mix of scripting series and then call by comittee. Those late half stretches where we keep lining up quick and then Dungey stops the snap count and everyone looks over to the sideline is when they are checking the play at the line. It's interesting that they are able to do that, normally a very time consuming process and they do it in like 10 seconds.

So with one less coach adding input during the play call I'm expecting the offense to be 33% faster.

From what I understand, a "play" isnt called every snap. In our high tempo RPO system, a play with options is called from different formations. There are plays where the rb could get the ball given the gap game by the defense or the ball can be pulled out with the qb looking up and seeing routes run based on the D alignment the entire offense just saw pre snap.

Thus, the importance of wrs getting to the line in proper alignment, reading the entire field, and running the appropriate route.
