Coaching Failure: Avant was misused

[Mr. Scot]

Avant doesn't get many long passes at all  does he? I don't know about the attempts but his average reception is down to about 5 yds down from about 10 from last season.

 

While the play certainly has a preferred option the QB in the end makes the decision where to throw the ball. That can't be ignored.People criticize going to  Cotchery deep all the time but it might be Newton feels comfortable going that way. 

 

I've seen both Avant and Cotchery running long routes.  There have also been the end arounds, the flea flickers and such.

 

Ask yourself this: How many times this year have you seen us go into a third and short with a play call that sent everybody downfield?

 

We have possession receivers ideally suited to convert those downs, and we're sending them long.  Mind you, all this while at the same time having a line that hasn't been well suited to holding off a pass rush long enough to allow those routes to develop.

 

It's just piss poor coaching.

lol remember how excited you people were for bersin

[Captain Obvious]

I'm still excited for Bersin. And Avant was slow as hell on his crossing patterns. The steelers game comes to mind. He couldn't get separation leading to many three and outs. So much Fail. Glad he is gone.

Watch it Mr. Scot you may get cut as a fan for speaking out!

[top dawg]

Of course he was misused.  Just as Cotchery is being misused.  We should have never been using either one of these guys as a starter.  In a way, this is Gettleman's fault.  It just is.  Avant should have never been signed. 

 

This "coaching failure" is a GM failure at its core.

DG overvalued his wr pick ups on such an egregious level its borderline Matt Millenesque.

Bingo....That sums it up nicely Mr Scot,I have never in all my years of playing and watching football seen such inept coaching as i have this year from Rivera and Shula. Can we all say "Dumb and Dumber"?

[Hammerin'Cameron34]

You are looking too much into it. Avant is just trash.

Hence the phrase misused.

[CPF4LIFE]

I been saying this since pre season. We were running freaking screen passes to Avant.
