Episode notes
Play Calling Is Layered, Not Solo
- NFL game plans combine advanced scouts, pro scouts, coordinators and positional coaches into a layered pre-planning process.
- In-game play calling adapts those scripts using live input from booth and sideline staff to exploit what actually works.
In-Game Adjustments Win Games
- A play caller's value is in quickly recognizing what works and building on it during the game.
- Effective in-game adjustments can turn a scripted plan into repeated successes later in the same contest.
Feed The Caller Concrete Alternatives
- Keep play calling a team effort by feeding the caller trends, booth views and schematic ideas.
- If a play fails, give the caller quick alternatives for specific situations like second-and-long or clock stoppage.
