Jim Taylor and John Riggins comes to mind. It may be back with Toby Gerhart, but he'll probably be used as a RB.So, some players only plays some packages. We tend to use the 3 receivers set more than any other formation, so usually the FB is replaced by Nelson or Jones. Yes, but depends. Nowadays, in offense there's the QB coach, the RB coach (that in some teams, depending on their philosophy, instructs the FBs), the WR coach, the TE coach (which in some teams, instructs the FBs), and the OL coach (which in some teams, instructs the FBs). I don't know any team that has a FB coach, but the Vikings might be one, I don't know, may be saying stupid things in here.In defense, it depends if it's a 3-4 or a 4-3.3-4 : DL coach, ILB coach, OLB coach, CBs coach and S coach.4-3: DE coach, DT coach, LB coach, CBs coach and S coach. Also, there's usually assinstant coaches for some positional coaches, and one positional coach is also the assistant head coach. Not to mention the Coordinators, the Defense and Offense quality controllers and the Strenght and Conditioning coach.Some offensive minded coaches call the plays on offense, some defensive minded coaches call the plays on defense, some just supervise the action and makes key decisions like timeouts, challenges. Some that don't call make the playbook, but usually the playbook is composed by the coach and the OC/DC.If it's not the coach that calls, it's the Coordinator's job to do it. Usually, on offense, at least, the QB coach also have a say. And usually the QB is given 3 options, 2 passes and a run. Some have even more leverage to change plays in the LOS.But the plays the OC/DC calls are pre-determined by down and distance, and key situations like 4th downs are determined by the coaches all the time if they're going for it, kicking or punting. Or doing tricks (fake punt).So, most of the time, even if the coaches don't precisely pick the play, they determinate what's going to be called, on key situations.About the head sets, the DC/HC talks to the captain, giving hints and instructions, and the OC/HC talks to the QB.-Hope it helps, I may have said a lot of BS in here, so if anyone care to correct me...</blockquote>
