Rapien and Pike lay it out

Love to see what would happen if Callahan took over the play calling exclusively.   He presents as really cerebral.  If that worked I'd be very happy for him to stay.  Except for the Sample pick and the Trey Hill vs. Trey Smith picks I'm pretty happy with the way we've drafted.   I'd also like to have had at least one other high level interior line FA.

All in all, I think the team is growing.   Hope he grows with it.   Play calling seems to be his consistent weak point

100% agree. Just let Callahan call the plays and see what happens. It seems he's a good motivator, and we see much smarter play from these guys. They've built a pretty good team, got some solid position coaches now, Lou seems to have made good progress, he just needs to focus on keeping all of that going and let his OC do his job. If Callahan, can't, get a new one....or just be gone altogether.
