todd Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Anyone else notice that McDermott was calling the defensive plays during the last 2 or 3 minutes of the game? He's a pretty good playcaller, but I wonder what is up with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Maybe it was mentioned during the broadcast and I missed it but how do you know he was calling plays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was probably communicating with Leslie and/or Tremaine. Im sure its a team effort and McDermott gives plenty of insight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Coaches will send up something they see or want to see in response to an alignment , both Offense and Defense,. A tell or an alert that something is a give away I may be incorrect, but there is only one voice coming through to the Player on the field. Whether McD has over ride is certainly possible. But i would think he is talking to Frazier or Daboll when he is speaking. Good topic really. 8 minutes ago, Bangarang said: I can’t say whether or not he was calling plays but this is common practice even for HCs who don’t.

Kiva Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Is the confirmed? During the TO on the 4th down it appeared both Leslie and Sean were involved in play calling. I don’t believe OP is accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
