[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 640295, member: 9364"] Another thing that just occurred to me was whether or not when Clements called the plays, was if Edgar Bennet or someone else was up in the booth giving him another pair of eyes and feedback from up there. Because this is something that goes hand in hand with McCarthy's successful play calling. Yes a lot of it is his experience, but when Clements returned to the coaches' box and was telling MM what was going on from up there, that had a lot of influence over what was being called on the field. Philbin did this when he was here too and that obviously benefited MM. I'm in no way looking to either exonerate, or blame Clements more so for what was going on, but I have to believe having a good pair of eyes looking down on the field from above does go a long way in helping your play caller out, and I think it's legitimate to wonder since Clements was not in the booth when he called plays, if he was disadvantaged in this regard by not getting feedback from up above. I think Clements as a play caller, could manage a fully healthy and fully functional offense, but I think MM's knowledge and experience of this playbook and the players on his team, allow for him to be able to make up for injuries and deficiencies in the offense. Gotta have a good to great QB to really make this offense go like it does, but at the same time you gotta have a great coach and play caller to also get the most out of it. In 2013, we saw what life was like without the QB, and in 2015 we saw what it was like without the play caller. Put them back together though like this and things will (and have) start clicking again. [/QUOTE]
