Reputation of Sherman Lewis- our new play caller

Also let's not forget, despite a shining resume as a non-playcalling assistant, his record when actually dialing up the plays is paltry at best.

Another head-scratcher by our front office.

Granted, this is likely to be a disaster but you must recall we all went into last season with all our eggs in the basket of a man who had never called pays of any type on any level. He went 6-2 and everyone was singing his praises, then the bottom fell out. I certainly don't look for Sherm Lewis to be our savior by any stretch of the imagination, but he has been there, done that, and that's more than we can say for the man currently running the show.
