A question of style: Evan, Roy or Tim?

Nor the idea that you can quantify Kyle's or any coaches number of 'right' playcalls especially by percentages.
Does Kyle need to improve? Sure.

But, if there's one thing I feel fairly certain about it Griff's fit in this offense though.

I feel less confident about Helu/Royster/Hightower getting more then 400 carries this season.

Well, the "right" playcall could best be described as one taking the defense by surprise and/or exploiting the D's scheme and positioning. I think Kyle, on average, has gotten it right so far about a third of the time. To begin, he's been pass-heavy (about 60/40 I believe) even though we didn't have the personnel, namely a solid passer, to justify a lopsided air attack. The ratio should have been flipped toward a running game, which btw is what Mike's offense would have looked like.

Second, Kyle's choice of run and pass plays has been quite poor. Most games he sticks to just a few run plays, and if they aren't working he abandons the run quickly. Even more bizarre in some games he abandoned the run even when it was working...? And his air attack mostly relies on the passer leading his target to be effective, again despite the fact we haven't had a passer capable of doing just that very well.

You can certainly make the argument Griffin will fit Kyle's system perfectly, but that doesn't mean it's the perfect system. Savvy?
