Bengals1181 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 he's said he'll be on the sidelines. Said he has to be able to look his players in their eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said he has to be able to look his players in their eyes. [/quote] Yes, that's exactly what he said. However, it makes me wonder, just a little bit, on who they will put up in the press box to have that different perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 What is the rule on both coordinators being on the sidelines? Is Zimmer a in the box guy? Has he ever coached from the box? Would it effect his ability to light a fire under his guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the browns had both on the sidelines last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I imagine someone on offense will be up in the box. Being up there let's you see the whole play develop and gives you a better feel for defensive tendencies. Jay will have someone up there for him, I'm sure.

[/quote] I think some folks assume Brat's inability to make effective in-game adjustments was tied to his being in the booth, and not on the sidelines with his players..

[/quote] You [b]might[/b] have to pull the post up again but the stats show that an offensive coordinator who resides on the sidelines has a higher level of success than one who resides in the booth. That goes for Head Coaches who make the calls for an OC (ie... Sean Payton)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
