Fox runs the stalest offense in football.


Awesomeness!!

Recommended Posts

I don't know why I didn't notice it sooner (like years ago). I noticed how we for the most part run like 5 plays all game. We change tha play ever so slighty that so it doesn't mirror the or original, but if you pay attention you can tell. The sweeps, the handoffs, the smoke passes to Smitty, and crossing patterns with the slot recievers. I don't know if its Jeff Davidson, or Fox, but my god.........

While the play calling can be predictable on certain situations, quick out to smitty on second and long, draw play on third and 15+, our playbook is actually rather large and allows for a pretty varied offense. It's just a conservative execution in those situations that gives you the impression thats its stale.

Two years ago, when we had at least the threat of a passing attack, we were among the top 10 in the NLF in points per game at 25.9 points per game. Last year, once we replaced our QB, the offense started to look like it did in 2008. If the offense does that well this year, I don't care if they run only one play.

Fox's O is not as stale and boring as your threads.

How many teams in the NFL run trick plays regularly or a spread or triple-option offense? None I can think of.

Some of the more electric teams I can think of (Colts and Saints for example) put it in the air a lot, but there is no trickery to it. Great QB's who get great protection and time to make the throws downfield.

I like our offense - just wish we had more weapons at receiver.

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
