Root of all the offensive woes

I mostly agree. 


The Chargers won today with 28 points and their leading rusher was 11 carries for 12 yards. They averaged 2 yards per carry today. 
 

Texans won averaging 3.3 a carry. 
 

It’s mostly the same line from last year but we swapped Sanders for Foreman. Could be scheme. Could be teams in week 1-2 loading the box to dare us to beat them throwing.

They screwed the pooch with Sanders. Wilks used C.Mayes as a full back for Foreman and Hubbard. It really helped the Oline out. gave the backs the lead blocking they needed. Trying to fix something that wasn't broken is the first mistake. Wilks would run first and establish the run to facilitate the pass.

They blew the whole thing up and killed the running game. Killed the running game, while choosing a rookie QB at #1.....with no running game.

One stupid move after another

Strong argument, why not just scheme according to their strengths, look at the tape from last year and introduce the same concepts 

Yeah, and honestly, why not keep Foreman and that same scheme/blueprint in place from last year and saved money from the Sanders' signing because a strong run game is a QBs best friend...  That would've been ideal for Bryce coming in.  And now Dalton too...  it really opens up the passes.  But nope...  these dumbasses even said they were experimenting with different blocking schemes throughout the preseason, when we already saw what they did in the last few weeks last season.  Sadly, looks like they're still experimenting now.

Everything is connected.

O-line can't run block anymore

Offense isn't productive on 1st or second down

Offense is in too many 3rd and long situations

O-line can't protect on 3rd and long

Receivers cannot separate

Rinse repeat

 

 

Factor in questionable play calling and the inability to get chunk plays and it just one big recipe for disaster.

Everything that could go wrong with the offense, is going wrong.

The issue I have with Reich and other conservative schemes is its predicated on never making mistakes.

Rivera has the same issue. His scheme cant compensate for playing from behind.

I dont understand how these philosophies were ever useful.

You can't ask Andy Dalton to throw the ball 58 times and expect to win.  Frank gave up on running the ball way too early.  Chuba Hubbard had 1 carry.

it would be one thing if they were down the whole game but we were literally leading at HT and got the ball to come out of the half. Pathetic from Reich. Had the same problem in Indy, never ran the ball and he had one of the best backs in the entire league.

Frank is calling plays for players he doesn't have. 

The thing I least understand is what was he protecting in preseason? 
I expected a newly designed fun offense with a ton of motion, a point guard in the center of it distributing the ball. That’s pretty much what we were promised.  

I have not seen anything that is remotely interesting. I do think the qb is giving up on plays, panicking I think. Jet out of that pocket, throw it ob or get tackled. So maybe that is hiding this great offense they have designed but I really think it is all a bunch of emperor’s new clothes and there is no new design of anything.

How can he say the run game wasn't working when he only gave Chuba 1 carry in the first half? Maybe Miles wasn't running well but Chuba will at least hit the line full speed. He was forcing Miles up the middle and only giving Chuba screen passes. Backwards poo

Hubbard’s 1 carry was at the end of the 3rd quarter 

his first last week was in the 4th

Yeah they threw him one screen coming in cold off the bench in the first half. Like who thinks that's a great idea. He runs north and south full speed, he doesn't catch screens and shake corners

    • Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
    • I don’t watch college football anymore (used to be Stanford STH but meh), but my wife is Hawaiian and her favorite color is purple, so I guess I knew Tet was my new favorite player to root for when he came out in a purple suit and lei and threw up the Shaka. 
    • AJ Green is who I think of as well; the body control, fluidity of movement, hands catcher, always high pointing the ball with the occasional insane/acrobatic type of grab, etc
