Too little Too late firing Crossman. April has been nabbed

this is just a typical Henning/Davidson, Trgo/Meeks, type Fox move......slight shuffle to try to direct attention of what is really wrong in Carolina away from the real problem. Like our former #55 said...Foxy has his hand in every single aspect of this team.

You like me and everyone else have been begging for him to be fired. The difference is I am grateful. You are trying to look a gift horse in the mouth and blame Fox even when he does something good.

well, I have been consistant though....regardless of any coaching moves Fox makes I always say it isn't really going to change the problems here.

Crossman sucked. He should have been fired. But like most of the coaches Fox has on staff......imo Fox does a good job of putting everyone in a position where great success is difficult. Crossman had squat to work with this year.......the returners struggle making catches and basic decisions and I don't pin that all on coaching. IMO, if Crossman is given a legit return man he immediately appears miles better than what we saw.

Carolina can bring in an awesome guy......but if they are only giving him a handful of medicore returners than that part of special teams will remain weak.

there are at least 31 other special teams coaches out there who are better.

just because we didn't get the best in the whole universe doesn't mean that we aren't still going to be seeing immediate improvement.

i would have loved to get april but getting rid of crossman was the first major obstacle. it finally happened. i'm just happy about that.

I am with rayzor on this. If Crossman had great numbers up to now and this year was the exception I might agree with you. But he has been bad since he got here. Plus injuries are not Fox's fault. As for him having mediocre (not medicore) guys, i don't think that is true. Every team uses backups and some of our backups for example Anderson, Rosario, Barnidge, etc. did pretty well when they played.

If you look at our special teams we were fundamentally poor. Guys didn't hold their lanes, didn't block well, were out of position, etc. That wasn't skill but practice and attention to detail. If we get a good ST coach in here watch out numbers suddenly get better with essentially the same cast of players.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The entire OP is about the play calling and results and only mentioned T-Mac one time, in the sense of our offensive struggles only made me more frustrated about our #1 WR only getting a single 2nd half target in a game we were behind for the majority of it. How is that showing my true colors? It's way more of other people reading too much into it and thinking this is all and only about T-Mac for me, but it's not.  He just happens to be the player that I specifically was upset by his 2nd half usage, but it had nothing to do with my personal feelings towards him, but that he's our only legitimate WR and he had a single target in the 2nd half after going for 73 yards in the first. To me, that is a very legitimate play calling gripe, the win or particular player aside.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      We’re stuck with Bryce for now.  He led TWO drives where we came from behind to take the lead. One of them was the winning drive and he threw the winning TD. Taken as a whole…he played at expectation after the 1st quarter. That’s not so bad under the circumstances.  We got the win. Maybe they’ll struggle to build on it but a win is a win. He drove the offense down and took the lead when it was needed. You can’t take that away from him.    We’re not changing QBs anytime soon.  Or owners.  So…when they win, we should take it at face value and give credit where it’s due.  Bryce came up big in clutch moments. You can’t take that away from him.
