... last year and Allen Evridge and Dustin Sherer this year makes me nostalgic for the likes of Darrell Bevell, Mike Samuel, Broks Bollinger and Jim Sorgi, for crying out loud. Bret Bielema’s QBs make the pedestrian QBs used by Barry Alvarez look like Brett Favre, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Joe Montana by comparison. Heck, throw in Johnny Unitas and Bart Starr for good measure. Time...

... off whatever is ailing his lower body this week and making some plays. It means Brad Childress and Darrell Bevell coming up with a game plan that could at least stump a 15-year-old Madden freak. It means a lot of things going right against a Saints team that can put points on the board in a hurry. It means not losing track of the clock or forgetting where you’re supposed to line up....

... arm.But the issue is this: How often will the play-calling of Childress and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell (who assumed in a bigger role in that area last season) allow Frerotte to use that arm? Even with the short-passing nature of the West Coast offense it is crucial to be able to stretch the field in order to loosen up defenses for the running game. Failure to do so means...

... some very solid defenses, and this one kind of takes another step," Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said. "They have big boys up front. They've got two great defensive ends, they've got linebackers that can fly around. They've got corners that can cover. It seems like each week it's been a tougher test for us."The hard-nosed Titans defense includes Pro Bowl tackle Albert...

... had 17 carries for 77 yards, while Taylor has 11 carries for 44 yards. – Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell threw in several new wrinkles. He used Peterson and Taylor in the same backfield twice. And he also used a four wide receiver set with tight ends Visanthe Shiancoe and Garrett Mills split out wide. It should probably be pointed out again that two plays made the difference...

Wearing a visor on the sideline, Jackson clapped and slapped hands with offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell after watching Shiancoe hang on and give his team the lead.The Panthers were deflated after that. They got only one first down and completed only two passes in the third quarter, and let Minnesota keep the ball for a whopping 11:34 on a penalty-filled drive that mercifully...

... Jackson was unable to give them. They need more imaginative playcalling from Brad Childress and Darrell Bevell . The good news: With Frerotte on the field, they won’t be able to call that one bootleg over and over. Leaning on an old cliche: This is a gut-check for the Vikings. What kind of fortitude does this team really have? Is it a solid veteran group who can brush off the disappointment...

Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said Frerotte, as a 15-year veteran, knows the plays and reads in the West Coast system run by the Vikings, but acknowledged getting used to the verbiage can take time.Frerotte, who told coaches what would work best for him within the offense, will get a final day of practice...

... impossible to definitively make a judgment about his ability because Brad Childress and Darrell Bevell prime the team for failure with their detestable offensive “scheme”. At best they are blindly not doing anything to play to the team’s strengths, at worst they are stubbornly orchestrating the utter failure of the offense. As Vikings fans are well aware, Childress/Bevell have demonstrated...

... think to himself, ‘that guy is head coaching material’? Does Chilly try to save his job by firing Darrell Bevell if the offense continues to sputter? It’ll be fascinating to see what happens. My guess — and I have absolutely no inside knowledge on this — is that an 0-4 start gets Chilly the boot. Midseason coaching firings are rare, but Zygi seems to rely on his gut much more than...

... does the Love Boat sail again? Powers also kicks the coaches around, saying: The play calling by Darrell Bevell , and anyone else who contributed, was awful. No matter how well Adrian Peterson is running, there has to be more balance, more daring. Jackson had thrown for a grand total of seven yards until the final 20 seconds of the first half. Daring is great, but the daring needs...
