You could say the same thing about any WCO also. Very predictable, what bothered me about last year and I dont know where the blame belongs, the Texans talent to run a gap scheme offense but insisted on running a ZBS until towards the end of the season.
100%. Also, if the QB wasn't able to adjust the protections at the line last season, I take back nearly all of my criticisms of Stroud and throw a thousand times that much at Slowlik. That's just inexcusable. He should never work in the NFL again if that's true.
I'm curious how many of the 32 NFL OCs are in the booth vs. the field. I thought all of them were in the booth.
Latest info I could find was from 2023: 16 of the 20 who called plays were on the sideline. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id...oordinator-matt-canada-sideline-calling-plays Now that you've got tablets with all manner of video and photos on them I'm not sure having the higher vantage point matters much wrt seeing defensive formations, schemes, plays, etc....Guess it just comes down to personal preference, but I'd rather him be on the sideline so he can interact with the players more readily. But those are just thoughts off the top of my head that I've never thought about before.
