CMC - Bad football is not being coached, it's the players.

[Michael G]

Macadoo's scheme and lineups look simple but he has complex route combinations with  multiple reads and lots of them on any given play. Baker played his best NFL ball with 2 man routes and a power running game. The scheme Mac installed does not fit Bake's abilities. To make matters worse he arrived late in the offseason compared to our other QBs and then had to split reps. He does not know how to run this Offense (not sure Darnold or PJ can either).

The problem is definitely coaching in the sense that the coaches set this sh-t up and ran with it. That said- Baker is indeed playing like crap!

We got a lot of problems and no accountability except for CMC and he's not scheming plays or throwing the passes. So unless someone step up and makes a significant change (maybe eating some crow in the process) then the sh-tshow we have seen every week thus far will most likely continue.

I kinda doubt Matt Rhule thinks deeply enough to worry about scheme fit when he's looking at players.

I wouldn't bet on him even understanding it at the pro level.

I have a theory about what's going on with this team and I fear it may be terminal if I'm right. It would explain why everyone is playing half-assed.

Well we don't actually have the talent some think we have...so he's right but he's also wrong because the coaches suck too.

We lack talent in a large fashion.  Other teams brass are saying it.

Its too long to go into detail but the short version is the there's rifts forming throughout the team. And it's not all player/coach disagreement. 

Or I could be drunk and over analyzing the situation.

Well, you could be drunk, but too drunk, can't say - but nothing is too long for the internet. 

Any specific rifts you're thinking?

Nothing concrete yet. I'm keeping my eye on the couple of things to see how they shake out. It may come to a head with another loss or two.

I will wait then, and form a conspiracy theory about what your conspiracy theory might be...

[AlphabetsEnd]

Okay, first theory on your theory: 

Rhule is fired if he loses X number of games this season to be replaced by whichever coordinator's team performs best. 

Defense is playing to not have McAdoo. 

Offense is playing to not have McAdoo. 

Close?

Not even a little bit.

But you must admit, this theory fits the evidence.

No I think they've already accepted the fact there will be a new staff next season.  Although no player will ever eluded to that fact.

[Ivan The Awesome]

I don't see any accountability at all. People still keep fuging up.
