Fox/Davidson Play Design

[TylerDurden]

Have you ever played a game of Madden and the guy you're playing apparently cheeses with only 1 or 2 plays that he's apparently had success with in the past, so he keeps running it thinking it's going to break open eventually. Even after you continue to kill it he just keeps running it, and eventually you start causing turnovers and bust the game wide open and blow them out.

That's John Fox. Who didn't know where Stewart was going on the 4th and Goal? We run a TE in motion to the side we run to and rarely deviate from that. Or maybe our famous 'motion the #2 WR to the position the TE usually lines up' at and run it to that side.

As I said yesterday, we only deviated from the run, run, pass sequence maybe once or twice in the first half, it's not hard to figure out what we're doing. It's gotten to be a joke... I'm seriously wondering if Fox really is doing it to stick it to JR and make him get rid of him.

Like I said

When 28 is in the game we run always. When 34 is in the game its run or play action. We are very predictable.

This is my problem with 'em... the play calling was somewhat better today, but we are SO predictable it's ridiculous.

4th down, inside the 5.. run 3 straight run plays.. Stewart is in.. how in the hell do you not playaction a pass to Rosario.. send him on a slant to the left of the endzone.. even have Jimmy roll to the left if needed.. granted he has a hard, awkward throw to make, but it's 5 yards, he has the arm strength to do it..

How in the world, from the one, don't you say, "Stewie... dive over the damn pile,k?"

We passed the ball on 1st down 1 time before the middle of the 3rd quarter yesterday. When you go run/run/pass any average defense can defend that. I am not saying we need to throw on 1st all the time but once in a while we have to. When you have 3rd and 7 or 8 and you know the panthers have to throw Moore seems to panic. If they would just mix it up a little maybe it would be 3rd and 2 or 3 and playaction or a run might actually work then. Just a thought.

run, run, run, run.. after a while, you have to change it up... and were we ever on the 1?

I hope they're both gone at the end of the season. I want coaches who actually want to score a lot of points.

A couple of years ago. I remember we would go in to half time down or tied but getting beat. Fox and Co. would make the adjustments and we would play much better after the Half. Now, it is like STICK to the original game plan and we don't adjust.

Clausen needs to start.

They want to score points too, just one FG at a time.

Like I said in the other thread

We running stuff we did in 2008 in 2010

Unacceptable

Lets face it... Fox and the entire staff know they are gone at the end of the year. They are just putting it on auto pilot and going with it. The game plan for the Giants looked almost the same for the bucs and I would not be surprised if the Cincy game looks the same as well. The good news is Fox is gone this year.

Its hard to have any type of balanced/innovate playcalling when your QB (Moore) can't even pass the ball. Other teams are going to load the box with 8-9 guys and let Moore be Moore.

*side note:*

You guys are bashing Jarrett too much. I think if or when he lands in Seattle, he's going to do some big things up there.

let jimmy the pickle call the plays at the line..he knows the playbook imarite
