  1. Macadoo's scheme and lineups look simple but he has complex route combinations with  multiple reads and lots of them on any given play. Baker played his best NFL ball with 2 man routes and a power running game. The scheme Mac installed does not fit Bake's abilities. To make matters worse he arrived late in the offseason compared to our other QBs and then had to split reps. He does not know how to run this Offense (not sure Darnold or PJ can either).

    The problem is definitely coaching in the sense that the coaches set this sh-t up and ran with it. That said- Baker is indeed playing like crap!

    We got a lot of problems and no accountability except for CMC and he's not scheming plays or throwing the passes. So unless someone step up and makes a significant change (maybe eating some crow in the process) then the sh-tshow we have seen every week thus far will most likely continue.

  2. Do not forget that Temple standout and XFL MVP Phillip Walker is our backup. He is 2-0 as an NFL starter and even though he is as short as Baker he can usually get passes off without having them smacked out of the air by opposing defenses. He is a little more mobile than Baker maybe and not named "Sam." Rhule did not commit to Baker as the starter following yesterday's loss. Should PJ get 1st team reps this week? 

    I think its worth considering. It provides a very small chance at shaking things up and making things more exciting worth losing the compensation (draft pick) from the Baker Trade?

  3. IMO the issue is not just the QB. The scheme sucks. Everyone said its really complicated but it seems simple based on what we see on the field. Maybe the specifics are really hard like a QB sneak isn't a push forward into a gap, but its falling down and trying to army crawl under the center..and the terminology and options are difficult maybe...the same QB sneak is referred to as a "29-K-Supercalifragilicious-9100DU-I-Snap-Tap=Snapper-Boom-Bomb 1960ish-5" with checks to a throw at a DL's elbow to avoid intentional grounding or a pass to anyone to drop to also avoid intentional grounding?

  4. Foreman should see more snaps period. He is a powerful back who gets downhill. He has decent hands (way better than C.Hubbard) and he is decent in pass pro (was at least in Tenn.). 

    I think CMC should be on the field most of the time but the team could be smarter on how he is used and make the most of Foreman's skills too. allow cmc to chip more before going out as a check down option on passing plays- Let foreman take more pass pro reps having to go up againt blitzing LBs. Give him some carries on early downs or short yardage behind Tremble coming across the formation in motion and acting as a lead blaocker (especially behind Icky). 

    I also think that Bozeman at center would help open more holes in the middle for whoever is carrying the football (as long they don't fall down-ala Chubba)

  5. The main problem with the Offense is coaching/Scheme IMO. It is true that he players are not executing in many instances, but they are talented. The coaches have not put together a system and correctly coached the players to prepare to carry out their duties.

    • There is a motivation issue
    • There is an issue with the way players are used and play design relative to this.
    • There is an issue with the players that are the field and how rotation (subs) at TE, WR, RB, and OL are used (or not used). 
    • There is an issue with the simplicity of many play designs and the lack of formations that use motion, or establish multiple play options from the same formation.

    There are simply put. A LOT OF ISSUES.

  6. Just now, Davidson Deac II said:

    The more we use him, the more other teams will focus on him.  Today, the Aints were focused on CMC and DJ.  That is part of the reason Shenault burned them in the fourth qtr.  It won't always be this easy for him.  But maybe that will open things up more for the other receivers. 

    I agree. Id like to see Foreman get some carries as well. Hubbard IMO is not the pass blocker or receiver that foreman is (which he isn't top notch). WE are wasting snaps on him I think.
