No one ever said more TOP lead to more scoring. Theoretically, it's supposed to keep the other offense off the field so they don't score as much.

 

The problem with it is we chew up the clock but kick a field goal or punt and when you do that against a high-powered NFL offenses, it's just a recipe for disaster unless you field an elite defense. When you start throwing in mistakes or frequent 3 and out's because your offense has no rhythm, well you get the 2014 Carolina Panthers.

 

Rivera-ball just leaves such a razor thin margin for error because of the fact he's playing field position or for a field goal when he need to cap off a long drive with a TD.  I have no issue with ball control offense if the result is a TD, but Rivera seems to be just fine if a TD isn't the end result.

I agree. What we're doing isn't working and I don't like ultra conservative "don't fug it up" offense. I was just pointing out that more TOP is not necessarily intended to score a lot of points.

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
