Correcting the offense
Alot of blame rests on the players, coaching, and the front office.
OL : How do you let Willie go? We now have no unit on the field: 2 styles of blockers won't work. Either go Zone or go mobility. Grandy, and Mayberry are not cutting it. Keep Bentley at all cost he is a perinal pro bowler at G or C. Need to get a veteran C (perfered) that can pull and move Bentley back to G or Draft/FA a starting gaurd and give Bentley help. There are more than one good G OT in this year's draftthat can be had in round 2. Gandy is better of as a back up T. Mayberry I have no idea for the $$$ he gets. Can Brown play on the left? WR & TE : Drops, drops, drops! Blocking Blocking Blocking! ROUTE RUNNING! No real blockers in the group. There are signs of hope in Zack and well Joe is Joe. After that I see alot of hype. We Need LUNCH PAIL MENTALITY HERE THAT TAKES PRIDE IN DOING BOTH. Dump the dead wood here. Is Boo among that group? Is Meier a good fit or another IR squad main stay? Erine is the mentor and maybe a better coach. Can Donte and Herderson be relied on not to drop passes and run good routes? Draft has a few that can be had late day 1. F/A cost to much for TOM. RB : Offensive Coorinadtor that can use Duce, Stecker and Karney properly. Each year the coaches have changed skills on the line and gone away from Duce's skills. Traps, cut backs, and a bit of smash mouth are Duces style. Stecker is a great change of pace but thrives in the same basic style of blocking scheme. Karney is a bull dozer but you can't block everyone out of the hole. He has running skills and catches well enough. But is not used enough. We had the best 2/3 TB than we have had in a long time. By the way, behind by 14 you do panic and not give up on the run in first 3 Qrts. QB : AB we know hears foot steps on every play. Line problems again? Stick'em would not hurt as would a personality change. Chew some people out once in awhile. Keep AB? I would love to see him under a new coach. But can I take that smile another year? grrr But I also love seeing the QB's (2) we have let go do good elsewhere while Mickey sticks with his guy. But can we afford to redo the OL and QB at the same time? I say no. I do not think he will ever be a mental champion of the game. Give him a year to prove last year was a fluke. Then see what the situation is before making a move. But a move will be needed if the Super Bowl is the goal of the Front Office. The repeating factor is the LINE, Coaching, and Front Office. A move down the board will only help across the board. I have not gone DEFENSE here because that has already been beat to death here. |
