Turk was upstairs in the box today

[Coach Sal]

Considering how well the offense performed, I'd obviously keep him there.

Whatever works!

[Don't Panic]

Absolutely... if, on some odd chance, that was the problem, then definitely keep him there. In fact, we might want to put him in the Goodyear blimp for the 49ers game!

[SquishDaFish]

Didnt even realize that. Ok dickey send him to the box every game and lock the door and throw the damn key away!! LOL

He probably requested to be up there because they knew we were going to "run up the score" and he didn't want to risk getting punched out by Gunther.

[Pinkerton Security]

wow. I hope he stays up there all year and for the rest of his time with us!

I'm not so sure about the advantages of an OC being on the sideline, but even as a layman with no football training, I can imagine that to a trained eye, it must be a whole lot easier to see what defenses are doing, concept wise when you can see the whole thing at once, ie. from upstairs in the box.

I think it was definitely a factor but not the only one. I couldn't help but notice the offense had a different "feel" this game. I couldn't put my finger on it (maybe because I was happy as pie about the score) except that I noticed they weren't moving Lee around as much. Trent confirmed in his post-game interview that they ran a "vanilla" offense this game with a lot less shifts and motions.

The cbs team wasn't sure what was going on. When they were talking about Turk in the 3rd they zoomed in on Van Pelt. Then on the next drive they zoomed in on the booth.

[superbills]

Don't most new coordinators opt to be in the booth nowadays anyway? I was surprised actually that he started out on the sidelines. I would have thought the it was really only the "veteran" coordinators who stayed on the sidelines because that's what they're used to. But I would think that for a new coordinator, having a view of the entire field would be an advantage I would want from the out-set.

In the end, I don't think having turk in the box or on the sidelines is going to make much of a difference - playing KC every week, however, might.

[Night Train]

I wish none of these coaches were on the sidelines.

Can we put them all up in the booth & let the midget trainer motivate them ?

Looks like he's staying upstairs ...

Also upstairs, wouldn't he have qucker access to video and ****?

[ddaryl]

upstairs is where he needs to be. It would be a lot harder to dissect the opposing D's at field level IMO...

[justasportsfan]

Turk can see from up there "hey Dick, the D that you're supposed to be an expert of is getting scored by a crappy Herm offense. I think we should score some more".

[X-Era]

Considering how well the offense performed, I'd obviously keep him there.

Somebody put that Dick in the box!
