Re: Giving Credit Where Credit's Due: Offensive Stats Before and After the Sherm Lewis Hire
 

But I couldn't tell if maybe that was a shot at Zorn. Like "yeah now he's working with Campbell more closely and it's made a difference (no it hasn't because Campbell was just fine before)" Or something like that.

I don't know. It sounds unusual coming from Kelly who from all I've heard is very popular among teammates, coaches, office staff, etc.

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;633651]Mike Sellers all but indicated that in an interview. I think the offense is coming together now; whereas before it couldnt - Portis is too much of a diva and a divisive force on the team. For example, he tried to get Sellers pulled from a game for missing an assignment. I read that Sellers is the "Alpha Male" on the team - the one guy you can't mess with and get away with. That, after Portis' lack of practicing and buddy-buddy relationship with the owner for the past several years, could very well have been the proverbial "last straw."

I get that Portis himself has lost a step or two, but I think this offense has more "energy" and is more productive when Portis isnt there.[/quote]

I saw the Sellers interview and it was definitely a shot at Portis. I agree with your post 100%.

Am I missing something what was so bad about what Kelly said?

I think if he left it at "Jason's game has also improved" that'd be one thing, but it struck me as a bit odd when he continued with "I guess it has. I really don’t want to be the one to bad mouth anyone.”

Yeah yeah yeah . . . . Whatever. . . . Let's give some real credit where it's due:

Hard to say where the young WRs are coming from IMO. To me these guys are a bright spot on this team.

...if us fans are lucky enough to get a legitimate FO/coaching staff by next season I think Thomas and Kelly could be a great duo (along w/ Fred) in most offensive systems. Add Cooley to the mix and OMG we just need a new offensive line and backfield talent to reach the stars lol. Seriously I just think any solid NFL coach should be able to really get a lot more out of the this team, after adding the necessary talent at a few key positions.

I really can't tell what way he was going with that.

I do agree with you that they have been a bright spot this year. however, if we completely switch offensive systems, it might take these guys a couple of years to catch on. and heaven forbid we hire shanahan and he wants to bring in a new DC (instead of promoting gray) and our defense has to start over from scratch.

He could just be saying he doesn't want to imply that these guys weren't doing well beforehand, that's what I got out of it.

Re: Giving Credit Where Credit's Due: Offensive Stats Before and After the Sherm Lewis Hire
 

I think that if we had brought in Shermin Lewis from the start we may still be in the playoff race. And cudos to Vinny for bringing this guy in.

Re: Giving Credit Where Credit's Due: Offensive Stats Before and After the Sherm Lewis Hire
 

I was thinking to bump this thread and refresh what our O has done:
Zorn calling plays:
17pts, 9, 14, 16, 17, 6

Sherm calling plays
17, 17, 27, 6, 24, 30, 34

I know there were other factors, but that is a Great trending line. Especially when you factor in the strength of the competition!

That was a good article by Boswell that SFREDSKIN linked to. Zorn admits he's made mistakes and has learned some things. Sherm may have something to do with this.

Haven't you been paying attention? Rule #73 of The Warpath...Vinny should never get credit for anything positive.

Re: Giving Credit Where Credit's Due: Offensive Stats Before and After the Sherm Lewis Hire
 

I say keep Zorn, we will never find another head coach who can make those interesting facial expressions on the sideline. He is a unique talent!!

If we are parsing words, I do think that is what he meant.
