Thanks. That is one drawback of Tapatalk, you don't see if you screwed up the phrase.

JiC, for some reason I used "snacking" for that emoji and not "popcorn". One of my life regrets.

LOL

This is a minor spat. I dig Surfah. Good dude.

This thread is awesome opcorn:

Why do you take exception to the truth?

You sound like Hans yesterday throwing a wet blanket on the hire because he doesn't have play calling experience. It's so overrated. The fact that tooblue is your only torch bearer should give you pause.

You're right: playing calling isn't a big deal, although from the new coordinator's own mouth he did say it is a "big deal." So, he doesn't even agree with you and is in fact the one carrying the torch. But, hey, I'm sure he'll do "just fine."

This hire is my best case scenario. I simply stated that there will be those who will not like it because he's not an experienced coordinator. I am not one of them. I think he will do a fine job given the circumstances.

Also you're wrong.

[Surfah]

It's actually true. I just take exception to the word overrated. It's a description not based in reality.

You guys are all actually saying pretty much the same thing.

It would help if Shaka knew the difference between game planning and play calling.

What he said and what I said in my original post are pretty much the same thing. I wrote that the coaches watched hours of film to came up with scripts for calling the initial plays and came up with contingencies for countering defenses. Grimes said the same thing in a different way.

Grimes just minimized play calling in that quote.

Of course the plays called on the field are an extension of game prep. Most of the time the plays are determined in game prep. They are an interconnected. You can do all the game prep in the world but if you can't hack the the pressure on game day you're screwed.

[Surfah]

Actually you and Surfah were minimizing by calling play calling overrated. I stated you it's not overrated because game prep for a coordinator and calling plays on game day are really part of the same deal and that oftentimes the first fifteen or twenty plays are scripted during that prep. Essentially all that prep is to ensure that you don't crap the bed calling the plays on game day. Grimes didn't call that, "overrated". Grimes called it a, "Big Deal".

[Shaka]

I'd prefer you first to explain how what I said and what Grimes said are different. Or, you can admit that he and I said the exact same thing. Either way.

You and I pretty much agree but you decided to carry the overrated torch for Surfah. For what reason I do not know. I'll unlump you with Surfah.

Anyway, according to Grimes thinks it's a big deal. Overrated ≠ Big Deal

Go back and read my original post.
