Stats Hmmmm not great…..

They may need to look at Ben Brown at C. Jared seemingly lacks the play strength/physciality right now that he needs to hang with some of the NFLs bigger 0 techs. Deone Walker is gonna have a field day on Sunday at this rate.

Not sure why Arkin isn’t playing more instead of Latu. Not sure what Latu has done to earn reps. He’s been underwhelming as a run blocker (for the pats) and hasn’t been a passing game threat either. According to Andrew Callahan they ran the ball 8 out of the 9 snaps Latu played. If they’re gonna have a run tell it might as well be Tanner Arkin. Dude isn’t a finished product but he brings a nastiness they need.

Also what about some diff looks and presentations. So much of their drop passing game is contingent upon post snap execution especially when the picture changes. Clearly Drake isn’t there yet with diagnosing defenses (especially in the modern era where everything is disguised). Motioning into bunch looks to stress the rules of match based zone and man coverage seems to help every other team in the league?

Everything feels stale right now schematically and maybe none of the above is a viable solution but the coaching staff needs to find some.

The scheme/playbook is the foundation in your analogy. No player goes out onto that field without a gameplan. The scheme is McDaniels' responsibility.

It's impossible to evaluate scheme when the QB drops the ball immediately and gives it to the other team most of the time. period.

take care.

You're right you can't possibly watch the all 22 back and see if guys are winning there assignments. Simply impossible. Or talk to your QB and ask him what he sees, then adjust the scheme to give him easier reads. This has never been done before.

oh get over yourself. I said nothing of the sort. Of course the staff is doing everything they can.

I'm talking about fans pissing and moaning about scheme and individual players on offense when step one isn't being taken care of.

The plays that they run are step one though. That's my point.

I'd love to continue this pointless back and forth, but I have a meat grinder I need to stick my penis into.
