14 turnovers is the problem. Not Shula.

Regardless of how you feel about the play calling this season, the sole reason for our loses has been losing 14 possessions. You can't win when you are losing the turnover battle and that has nothing to do with Shula. That has literally everything to do with player execution. If our players are giving away opportunities we will lose. Simple as that.

 

We are dead last in the league for turnovers with 14. We are tied for second to last in turnover differential with -7. 

 

If we can turn the ball over less and take it away more we will win. We led the league in takeaways last year. That has been the single biggest and most impactful difference between last season.

Don't get me wrong, Shula and the coaching is only half the problem. Our boys are committing stupid penalties, dropping passes, not executing, blowing assignments, etc. However, our coaching plays a factor in why our offense has been horrendous.

Completely agree. All the suck is feeding off each other.

I'm not happy with all of Shula's play calls.  I just think it's silly that he's getting the bulk of the blame for the reasons the OP stated.  This train can still get fixed as long as the players can hold onto the ball and not make stupid false starts/holds or any other stupid penalty.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
