I thought this to be a noteworthy topic. It seems Bevell is called out often for his play calling, but what I think is even more lacking is the design of his plays-- especially in the red zone.
1) Did anyone watch the MNF game (JETS/COLTS)? Or the Pats Bills game? Did anyone see Decker start wide, come in motion, wait for the other WR to open up the inside slant with a corner route? Decker had a 2 yard buffer and an easy touchdown. The Pats had two TEs rest their pre-snap alignment (one was chandler, the other Gronk). The Bills defenders were trying to communicate how that changed their coverage. Gronk Scores on an in route and the bills defenders are left screaming at each other. How many motion plays do we have in a game? 1 or 2 max? Defenders can be dumb, even changing the pre-snap alignment slightly by adding motion puts a hint of doubt or confusion in the defense. It makes me wonder how perhaps even a little motion from lockett or Kearse could have changed the SB final play slightly as well.
2) Pete said on Brock and Salk "We tried to design a few plays for Graham to get open, but for a few different reasons it didn't work out". I'm assuming the first and foremost reason is because he wasn't open. Perhaps Bevell isn't as poor of a caller as he is a play designer?I remember watching Graham have 2/3 yards buffer at times in NO.
