Gattis is Calling Plays from the Box - Is this Heaven or ****?

[E1k]

Surprised steele isn’t in the booth too

 

[skyman]

I didnt know this was even a thing, lol..

Where ever the coach feels comfortable, they both work we have seen.. No big deal

 

[WestEndZone]

QB coach is on the field. That helps.

 

[pacusmc]

The way my non coaching self sees it.
I don’t care wether the oc or dc is in the booth or not. But IMO there absolutely has to be someone up there.
If I’m not mistaken all the big dogs have someone up there. No way there isn’t an advantage to have a pair or multiple pairs of eyes up there.
Have we actually had anyone in the booth? I think there have been a few people say that manny had no one on the defensive side of the ball in the booth and either did Enos or Lashlee.
Maybe someone can correct me.

 

[Travis Bickle]

Whatever works best for him is fine by me.

 

[LuCane]

Who's gonna chew out our WRs?!!

 

[Pentagon Cane]

QB coach is on the field. That helps.

And the fact Ponce has experience has an OC.

 

[SayWhat]

I'd rather a coordinator be in the booth. Far better view, but there's a catch. You've gotta have someone on the ground that can relay everything quickly and you trust completely. Ponce, an OC'er in his own right, he's that guy.

 

[Empirical Cane]

This usually the sort of news that launches a thousand rounds of fury and debate, yet today it’s been crickets.

Why are y’all so chill? Did you already know he was doing it?

Box calls > sideline calls

 

[TriStarCane]

Who's gonna chew out our WRs?!!

Easier to manage in 13 personnel all game

 

[Canes Stan]

Calling plays from the booth depends on the coordinator. With all the ways to communicate with players on the sideline these days, it shouldn’t be a problem imo.

 

[fraggle]

Booth at home, field when away, I don't trust away teams tapping into the phone lines.

 

[JHallCanes]

He doesn’t believe in lamination, clearly

 

[No_Fly_Zone]

Who's gonna chew out our WRs?!!

The fans?

 

[frostycane]

I’m with it! Let’s go!

 

[hoops156]

he should call them from the hotel

 

[hoops156]

I don’t really give a ****, lol. He could be in Boca watching the game on an iPad as long as we are scoring points.

I bet he still does it from his Ann Arbor house.

QB coach is on the field. That helps.

This. Get your playcallet at his most advantageous vantage point and put an ex OC down there with TVD.

 

[TheU1984]

We should find a Gattis look-a-like, dress him up like a sideline coach, headphones on, and just have him walk around the stadium all game.

Shouldn’t be difficult since they all look alike.

 

[Southcane]

Since he is not the QB coach I honestly don't think it matters. Whatever he is comfortable with and feels it gives him the best environment. Having both roles though is a different story. Sometimes you need a QB whisperer on the sideline.
