Here’s how Redskins coaches call plays on game day, and compose the game plans — www.washingtonpost.com — Readability

Excerpt

So, how does the game plan composition and in-game play calling system work?

Throughout the week, Gruden, McVay and Callahan, as well as running backs coach Randy Jordan, tight ends coach Wes Phillips and wide receivers coach Ike Hilliard, have specific responsibilities as they work to develop the game plan.

Gruden, McVay and Callahan tackle the composition of the play script that they will use in a game. This involves the selection of 100 to 150 plays that will best equip the team to succeed against the opponent of the week.

The selections will cover every scenario: first and 10, second and long, second and short, third and long, third and short, plays deep in their own territory, plays in the red zone, plays with a lead, plays while trailing, early in games, ends of quarters and halves, late in games, etc. The plays are then scripted in the order that the coaches want to use them, and with built-in contingency plans: ‘If the first play works, and we’re in second-and-short, we’ll go with this. If it doesn’t work, and we’re in second-and-long, we’ll shift to this. If we get a first down, we’ll go with this instead,’ and so on.

The plays then are printed onto the big master play card, with plays divided up in blocks for each category and scenario.

In games, Gruden, McVay and Callahan are on their headsets in constant communication. If Gruden feels a need to deviate from the plan, he gives the order. If McVay or Callahan has a suggestion for a change, the three discuss it and decide which direction to go.

Think Crowder might come as a surprise to Atlanta. Listened to a Falcons podcast on the upcoming game and the only WR even mentioned was Garçon. He's riding under the radar which is all to the good.

Would be nice, especially with Jordan likely out. Sounds like they will proceed with every caution so I'm thinking we still won't see him this Sun.

Perfect attitude. Makes no difference in this division as the past decade has proven. Week to week approach is a must.

Two things number one I'm a little worried about Culliver, they said that he is supposed to have a MRI today and secondly I'm definitely not happy about us possibly playing in London next year and I definitely hope we don't give up a home game.

A little more detail on what benefits a team gets if they play a 'home game' in London. If it all comes down to money...whelp...DannyBoy...nuff said
