Washington Redskins say play-calling system working 'smoothly' - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN
If you’re wondering about the play-calling process, it goes something like this: Offensive coordinator Sean McVay relays the call to the quarterback. Before that point, McVay, Gruden and line coach Bill Callahan will confer. Sometimes it’s before a series, with Callahan letting him know which runs he wants to use. Gruden said he might suggest which passes to use and third-down plays. Sometimes Gruden interjects and suggests a play. But then only one voice relays the play to the quarterback. “It’s been a pretty smooth deal for us,” Gruden said. “Whoever calls the play -- recommends the play -- is really insignificant. It’s about the execution of the play. We feel good about the way we’re executing the play-calling system.”
