Ummm, yeah, they kind of are. If you say someone doesn't call plays, that probably means you think that they DON'T CALL PLAYS.
Yeah, he doesn't call plays, but that's not to mean he has no input or that he has nothing to do with what plays get called. He's jut not the Denny's menu type coach.
Of course. He's making the game plan. He's the one telling Godsey to run, run, run and then that they need to eventually take a shot.
And IMO that's what a great leader will do. As Patton said, "Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity" A great leader doesn't have to get bogged down in the minutiae of exactly which play to call most of the time, if they trained their people correctly, they'll pick the right one. All BOB had to do was say things like "run" or "we need to take a shot" and his guys knew what to do. Personally I like it.
The way I see it, he's getting credit where it's due. There's no guarantee that his philosophy will work, but it's a breath of fresh air after Kubiak.
Yeah, after 1 or 2 losses everyone will be calling for his head and saying 'I told you so'. I like the guy and hope he will push the team to strike now and not wait. I also thought BO'b came off well when mic'd up, but took a little exception to the after game speech. It's a minor gripe, but to tell players like AJ, Watt, Brown and others, "this is how it feels to win" is a little condescending. It's a minor gripe. they will live.
Prior to that win they lost 14 in a row. Seems fitting to remind everyone what it takes to win and how good winning feels.
Not reading too much into it, but did y'all notice at some parts of the vid where Mallett was everywhere? He was running down the sideline with his helmet on and active in the huddles. Just making an observation..
I would give the man a chance first. So far I like his professionalism and passion. It would be very odd indeed if this team should suddenly fall into a hole for no reason.
Sorry if i gave the wrong impression... I'm pulling for BO'b to pull us WAY out of a hole and think he and the staff, even with this roster can go VERY far.
on madden maybe, im 1000% sure lechler holds for the texans, like donnie jones, hartmann, and turk before him. im sure most punters around the league hold for their kickers.. im not saying backup qbs dont hold, the last qb holding the snap i can remember was romo and he even did it as a starter for a while.... mallet was not holding for bullock on extra points..
