Our play calling and offensive scheme was horrible this year.  Just no identity.  Not a Sam apologist but where was the play action and bootleg passes ( one of the few things I've seen Sambo do well)  Also the play calling when Cam was in there was silly too.  RPO with that exaggerated slow hand off Cam was doing.  Jeezus.  All our Qb's dinking and dunking.  I thought last year the dink and dunk was cause Teddy liked that style.  I now realise the coaches were pushing that.  Either from lack of trust (Sam) or lack of arm (Cam) or injury gun shyness (Teddy)  we seemed content to get 4 yards a pass.   I do think they were hamstrung by the limitations of our QB's though.  That said it seems little effort was put into developing a scheme and identity for the offense other than pre-emptive damage control (aka playing scared), college style rotation of qb's ( aka bush league B.S.) and a misery go round depth chart on the offensive line.  The lack of creativity and balls by the offensive playcallers this year was embarrassing.  I do actually feel we can turn this around quickly on offense. We just need to develop an offensive identity. The fact in the same draft we took a BIG but slowish mauler like Deonte Brown and a finesse zone gap undersized LT like BC was an indication we had no clue what we wanted the oline to look like.  I actually think Elflien can play center for us.  I also think BC is deserving of a chance at LT.  That leaves our guards as the missing pieces.  Along with QB, TE and another RB to add to the committee.

Kubiak has a good football pedigree and runs the right kind of system.

That, plus his dad kicked our ass in the Super Bowl.

Not really refs gave them the game. Peyton didn’t do poo and if it wasn’t for Von Miller we win that game. We were the ones to stupid to put someone else over there to block him.

nice

Vikings fans are clowning us, this is one of the nicer comments and sounds like a sideways move at best

I think Baby Kubiak has potential. Weren't we one of the best red zone teams? And for a while there we were the best team on opening drives? Now, if he could minimize the three-and-outs, minimize all the worthless designed throws behind the LOS, and learn how to adjust mid-game, he has a chance. We'll see.

Not sure what thread to put this in.  And yeah its like a 3rd hand rumor.  But my brother knows someone that works in ticketing with the panthers and the rumor is that Tepper wants Rhule to bring him 3 OC names that he can hire 100%.  If Tepper approves they hire him and rhule keeps coaching.  If rhule bobbles this then he is done

 

100% hearsay I acknowledge just wanted to post it somewhere

Interesting 3rd hand rumor for sure!

As far as Kubiak, I've read a lot that he's overrated and not much of an upgrade for us.  Definitely a name, but not so much of a rock star.

I'm much more interested in the Rams guy.

And just what qualifies Tepper to decide if those coaches are good?

Truth. 

but maybe it isn’t even about that.  Can Rhule even find 3 guys with a real NFL resume for the job to say yes?  Maybe Tepper is just going to let the rest of the league tell him what Rhule is. 

If I was a good OC….I’m not taking the job unless it’s the last job.  Because it’s a bad job under Rhule.

Oh sweet so we’re bringing in an OC to interview who can’t adjust mid game. Like the thing we were historically bad at this past season.

rhule will probably pick someone he thinks he can just get along with and won’t threaten his power. So this guy would be perfect.

Kubiak would be a home run

 

Gary that is

    • Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.  
    • 1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.  
    • I've grown to enjoy Mike & Tripp, even more so after listening to the ESPN, TNT, TBS hacks who, for whatever reason, seemingly don't know dick about the Canes.
