CKNW - Lions to run offense by committee

[CB123]

I don't like the idea of a committee. Every ship needs a captain.

Just seems to me it will lead to bickering... I sure hope it works out though

One guy draws up the run plays, one guy draws up the pass plays, the other guy calls the plays.

The only difference between this year and last is that there's more input on play design.

Look, if Wally thought he was ready, he'd give Dorazio the job. It's Dorazio's lifelong goal, right?

While I generally agree that nothing good comes from a comittee, there is a guy on staff who has some experience at the job, so let's not panic yet.

and that's the way it will work cro! However, those who believe that we can go with a quarterback calling his own plays all game...including Dickenson are deluding themselves. In this day and age it's tough enough to quarterback without calling all the plays in a game. Spotters can make a huge difference and play calling from the sidelines, based upon that information, including sequencing and setting up plays, is important.

Sometimes it's hilarious to watch a quarterback run a play on first down, look down quickly at his series of plays on his wrist, have a look like 'crap..what do I call now...pick one randomly in two seconds, and call the play in the huddle. Twenty seconds isn't a long time to get the play off.

You need an offensive strategist calling the plays to the quarterback and an experienced quarterback having the ability to audible out of them. A quarterback has the ability to run a number of plays in a no huddle offence for a series or two but it's too much today for the quarterback to call his own plays all game. The game is too sophisticated now!!
