Payton Hands Off Play-Calling to Webb | NFL News

Sean Payton’s making a bold move this season: he’s handing play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Davis Webb, marking the first time in his coaching career he’s stepped back from the booth. Payton, who’s called plays for decades, says it’s a gamble—but one rooted in faith in Webb’s creativity, chemistry with QB Bo Nix, and ability to lead. While game days will feel different for Payton, he’ll focus on big-picture strategy like his mentor Bill Parcells, staying involved in prep but letting Webb run the offense with full autonomy. With a brutal early schedule ahead, Payton is laser-focused on execution from day one, even bringing out a life-sized cardboard cutout of Webb to drive home the message: precision, speed, and winning are non-negotiable. Super Bowl dreams? He’s already thinking that far ahead—and believes Webb’s the key to unlocking them.
