throw the ball from the 4 yd line on a 3rd and 1
he can call all the pass plays he wants from the 1 yard line
IMO, Patricia has to have success this year or else he is out.
I liked Caldwell and regressed this year.
Interesting from a statistical point of view
TWENTYMAN: 5 things to know about offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell
Bevell’s offenses have finished in the top 10 in rushing percentage eight times in his 12 years as an OC. That’s important because running the football efficiently and being balanced on offense is an important part of head coach Matt Patricia’s coaching philosophy.
During a four-year stretch between 2012 and 2015 as Seattle’s OC, Bevell’s offense was top 10 in scoring each year and ranked in the top four in rushing each season. They were the No. 1 rushing team in football in 2014.
It is interesting when we look at actual facts.
Only two of those you listed are without a HOF QB. And those had a HOF RB.^^^^^
In eight of Bevell’s 12 years as a coordinator, he’s led a top 15 scoring offense. Five times he’s led a top five scoring offense.
2007 – Minnesota: 15th
2008 – Minnesota: 12th
2009 – Minnesota: 2nd
2012 – Seattle: 9th
2013 – Seattle: 8th
2014 – Seattle: 10th
2015 – Seattle: 4th
From Rotoworld
Lions hired ex-Seahawks OC Darrell Bevell as offensive coordinator.
The Lions were turned down by many other candidates, but they finally found someone to take the job. Bevell was interviewed for the Falcons and Jaguars openings, but those jobs went to Dirk Koetter and John DeFilippo, respectively. Bevell will now call plays for defensive-minded coach Matt Patricia, who ran the offense into the ground in his first year on the job by putting shackles on OC Jim Bob Cooter and Matthew Stafford. As a run-first guy, Bevell fits Patricia's personality. The Lions will be better off once Patricia is out of Detroit. Jan 16 - 4:05 PM
Again i like this hire I think he did a great job developing Wilson and running a poorly put together offense(from a talent perspective) while in Seattle and if we get to the Superbowl he can call all the pass plays he wants from the 1 yard line
