Watching these playoff team's offenses

It is really, really discouraging watching the amazingly sophisticated schemes and play-calling by teams with coaches who don't live in daily fear of the NFL's liberal passing rules.

But, according to Ron, in order for us to evolve on offense we need to... run the ball more.

Those QBS don't have Shula as OC

Newton had by far the worst completion percentage of qualifying QBs -- the second worst was nearly 4 p.p. better. You can't blame that sort of statistical deviance on an OC. 

 

And perhaps Shula avoids calling for short, accurate passes for the same reason Kyle Shanahan doesn't call QB keepers for Matt Ryan.

I hate the modern NFL. Rules favoring offenses have gotten to be so fuging absurd and ridiculous. Rivera I think would be one of the best coaches of all time back in the day. Unfortunately the game has changed. Still think he's the guy and can have success in the modern NFL, but he needs to make the tough decision to change the entire offense, and it starts with Shula and Dorsey.

Atlanta is winning because they are effective at running the ball with Coleman and Freeman

Dallas is the one see because of their run game

New England looks invincible because of the duo of Blount and Dion Lewis

Laveon Bell has single handidly changed the steelers season

 

Ron is right. We need to run the ball better to lengthen drives and take some pressure off Cam.

QBs all also convert ~70% of their passes instead of ~50%

Our offense doesn't require 70% cmp percentage. A lot of that is dump offs. Cam's highest was 61.7 in 2013. What our offense requires though is a complete o-line and a competent OC that calls the right plays especially in crucial situations. With our tackles and our OC (and not to mention drops), it makes running our offense harder than it should be.

Our offense also requires more intermediate and deep throws than these other offenses. I know you like taking shots at Cam, and he had a bad year, but if he's between 58 - 62% were good.

The huddle tells itself so many lies so many times it starts to believe them. 1 of which is Shula being our biggest problem. 

Seattle fans are singing the same blues about their OC after they couldn't make adjustments yesterday to offset their outmatched o-line.

Patriot fans might be doing the same if Osweiller wasn't such a terrible QB. Even the great Bellicheat and Mcdaniels couldn't stop a superior d-line from harrassing Brady and causing him to match his season total Interceptions yesterday.

    • Honestly I haven no idea what I would have even done last night, Edgecomb was the most realistic option to improve our team 
    • He doesn't have the athleticism to play in the NBA. He had the worst numbers of anyone who worked out in this draft. He's legitimately the least athletic player in this draft, which is saying something.   His ceiling is Kyle Korver, with his lack of athleticism he's more likely to be out of the league in 5-6 years like Jimmer Fredette. 
    • Well, he was in probably every NBA franchise's top 6 or 7. Obviously it's nice to take the swing and it work out. But when a guy refuses to work out for your team, is probably the guy refusing to play with LaMelo, has sketchy handlers, etc.? You want...to take that swing? A desperate team does, sure. Which the Hornets are. But a smart team doesn't. Which is what they will hopefully become.  Kon isn't a superstar, but his floor is Kyle Korver. Is that what you want in the 4th pick? Not really, but he's your 4th guy on a good team and what I think Charles Lee wants in a player.  Trade down would've been nice, but for who? Tre Johnson would've been my guy, but he's gone if we trade with Brooklyn. If Washington wanted Ace, I doubt it would've taken much to come get him. Trade down and get Maluach (knowing you're trading Mark) would make sense and may have been the play, but I think Kon helps the team on the court and changing a culture. Not so sure about some of the guys in the 8-12 range.
