Playcalling v the Chargers

[uk_dolfan]

Gase was open about the fact he was unhappy with his playcalling v the Chargers.

Interesting article about the playcalling from Armando

He had matched wits with Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, the former Jacksonville head coach and Seahawks defensive coordinator, numerous times

And although Gase was seeing the Chargers playing a zone defense in the secondary, he was expecting Bradley to do what he normally has done in the past, which is play man. Except Bradley didn’t do what the Dolphins coach expected

Excellent article. I was about to post it myself.

Why waste an entire half to make the adjustments? Lucky we weren't behind. My theory is they wanted to get Cutler comfy with game speed since they only played a handful of snaps in in preseason and that was several weeks ago. Short quick passes also helped neutralize the LA pass rush. Give Gase credit for owning up to crap play calling though.

After years of this same crap, I would like to see faster game adjustments. The most successful teams are very adept at that sort of thing.

Consistent with last year, while Gase didn't make adjustments on the fly, the changes made during halftime were obvious and beneficial.

 

[bottomline]

At least we have a coach who tries to analyze other coaches tendencies. Playcalling for Gase isn't too much, he's playing chess out there and that is good to know.
