Do you call the plays?

[KillyKillall]

Simple question. I haven't played in a while but I'm going to start a new career tonight. In the past, I have taken the view of, "I pay the OC/DC to do this, this is their job and I live with the consequences."

Have you guys had more fun/interesting times letting them call your plays or calling them yourself?

[doncoryell]

I call the offensive plays and I have my defensive co-ordinator call the defensive plays.

[d_max]

I used to let my coordinators do stuff but I recently took over both offensive and defensive playcalling.

[Sanchez_Mareno]

Always done both myself

I let my OC call the plays on offense but I Run the defense I like to do man coverage with a heavy combination of blitzing schemes.

I'm pretty much the same as you for how I run my defense, and I let the OC call the offensive plays until he starts getting stupid and running the same play over and over or keeps running on 3rd and 8.

Right now I let the OC and DC call the plays, but I'll step in and override them if I don't like the call.

I've always called the offense but I'll let the DC call the defensive with about 10-15 calls a game by me.

For me, it really goes back to how good your coordinators are. I wouldn't want to let a low OC or DC call plays that much. I've got Eric Mangini as my DC and he has been successful for me.
