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.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
