Quote:
Offensive coordinator Norv Turner said there wouldn't be talk about adjustments if the Browns were to improve in one area.
"People want to talk about halftime adjustments, it is about third down conversions."
This was posted on another thread:
3rd down conversions:
Weeden: 17 of 60
Hoyer: 15 of 33
Another thing: Someone just recently posted that what I said earlier didn't jibe w/what Chud was saying. How about this:
I said:
Quote:
Coordinators make adjustments throughout the game. You examine match-ups. You see how they line up against certain formations. You see mismatches. You are constantly adjusting.
Chud said:
Quote:
Chudzinski said that adjustments are being made the whole game.
One thing has been proven over the years. When many posters disagree w/an alternative point of view and they can't legitimately argue it, they resort to pointing fingers at the poster who they disagree with. That way, the attention is drawn to either defending or ridiculing one poster rather than debating the issue at hand.
I will stick by my original point. Halftime adjustments are overrated. The coaching staff is making adjustments throughout the game. As the game wears on, talent and the execution of plays becomes more important.
I will also stick to this point. If a team is struggling, the blame usually is assigned to other areas when you have a player [typically a QB] who the media and fans support. That can cause major problems in the locker room. I am not saying that there are those problems w/in our locker room at this time. I am saying that all this other blame will more than likely lead to internal problems.
Again, I did not hear any complaints about our halftime adjustments when Hoyer was the QB. Instead of criticism directed toward our receivers, I heard how great they were playing and how they made Hoyer look good. I didn't hear all this talk about how our OL was among the worst in the league. There was some talk about our running game stinking, but I guess that is a given.
In the end, it comes down to this. When Hoyer was QBing, I kept reading "reason" after "reason" as to why our team was playing well and winning. With Weeden at QB, I have read excuse after excuse for two years now as to why he didn't play well and why our team was losing w/him at QB.
Halftime adjustments are not the problem. The problem is that we are not in the upper echelon of teams in regards to talent AND the execution of the game plan by multiple individuals, w/an inordinate amount of incompetence laying on the shoulders of one player.
I still maintain that this team is capable of winning 9 to 10 games w/just decent qb play. Not great. Just decent. And then we wouldn't have to listen to all these ludicrous discussions about how our coaching staff is not making halftime adjustments.

Everything looks like a personal attack to you.

tough question to answer.
We have facts: Every game we have played we have had the lead at half time. We have gone to win 3 n lose 3...well that doesn't settle anything...lol 
I read a few answers not many.
It is true there is a constant adjustment being made with each unit even after every series. OL, WRs, RB, QB
QBs are the most visual as we see them there with the coaches pics being faxed down to them.
Half time adjustments: I think this is 5 minutes the HC has to adjust his game plan if any. So there might be in game adjustments but not a chance to get the entire 11 adjusted.
I see this most of all important for the Defensive Units. A change in Blitzing Schemes. DL LB n DBs need to know what each other are doing with major changes.
I saw the Lions up the ante in their blitzing schemes which put more pressure on Weeden n brought him off of his new good habits towards his past bad habits of holding onto the ball.
On their O side I saw either a change in blocking schemes as we had problems applying pressure n they started to have success running the ball. What I did see what definitely an adjustment to target their TEs who were not household names. But they must of seen that we wee not respecting them enough.
So there most definitely are adjustment made at half time. Some major ones that are more Game plan adjustments - this is their weak link and we will attack it.
But I might add no where as much as the Bozos think or report it to be. Its more a time to Calm down catch your breath - Re focus, make some personnel changes due to injuries or incompetence.
You have to put that all together and have them ready to play in 10 minutes.
So this Massive adjustments being made just do not exist.
I do notice that when one team is trouncing another sometimes you get an entire turn around - true the team dominating simple do not have much to adjust...the team getting killed can come up with some game plan changes, personnel and just plain Refocus the players sometimes might do it.
We remember the big changes but I think by far the team dominating usual continues to dominate n go into a conservative mode at some point. We just remember the extreme changes.
Now what we had with the Lions was that Scheme by us lacking in the 2nd half...or was that simply a failure of focus to execute our Schemes???
That is the question.
JMHO
Defense wins championships. Watson play your butt off!
Go Browns!
CHRIST HAS RISEN!
GM Strong! & Stay safe everyone!
