This is coaching. Schemes are predictable and vanilla. Remember when Reich said he didn’t want to show our hand during the preseason? I suppose he is waiting till the playoffs now.
Run game is terrible. BY was throwing too much, AD Is throwing too much. We are one dimensional without the receivers for it. And HOW MANY DROPS? It was ugly.. these guys need pine tar or something…
No separation UNLESS dalton was able to move out of the pocket. In the pocket it was a drop or pressure/hurry. That’s offensive coaching.
All star coaching staff seems to have no identity.
There is a lot of truth here. However, you can't 'manufacture' a run-game when you're behind in the score and forced to play "catch-up". Our run game CAN be good, depending on who comes to play. Miles and Chuba both have the inherent skill to do the job. The run play-calls are crap. Nothing there that is "outside of the box". You can't win if the OPFOR knows what you are going to do. Play calling has to get better.
The passing game is much better with Dalton at QB. And I would contend (IMHO) that we DO have the receivers for the job. Thielen has proven himself and unless he gets injured he will continue to be prolific. DJ Chark had a good day down the field and performed well. The one guy that is way under utilized right now is Hurst. He is absolutely fearless over the middle and can catch anything. If we have those three on the field and the QB uses them wisely, we have enough. Add in Mingo and Marshall and that can be a dynamic Receiver group.
Your comment about the drops is almost sentient. I just have a feeling that we will get that fixed. But you're right. It IS a big problem. Thankfully not all of the guys have caught the disease. Have to wait and see, but I'm hopefull.
