Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 618397">In the absence of other alternatives, Raji and Boyd would be the less than desirable defaults.  I can see Boyd getting work in the tweener run/pass downs in nickel and dime, especially against teams that like to run the ball, but he's never shown much as a pass rusher...more a situational/matchup player, the flip side of Neal who would be more of a long yardage option.Raji?  It's all about the motor.  I remain highly skeptical.  I can't recall a healthy player losing his motor for several years running and then suddenly getting in back.I'm a little surprised Clements will be calling the plays from the sidelines, not the booth.  It's a prejudice of mine.  From the sidelines, there's simply a lot you cannot see.  I find it curious that all-22 snap shots are wired down to the sidelines, all-22 tape is used to break down games after the fact, but the play caller is deprived of an all-22 view from the booth from snap to sanp.  At the same time, there's OC Bennett kibitzing from the booth in one ear and McCarthy prowling the sidelines with likely some input in the other ear.  A delicate balance will need to worked out to prevent too many cooks, too many voices.</blockquote>
