Meh... Fox really isn't that bad..

[Zod]

Want to describe a coach I don't want on my team? Use the term "not that bad"

[The Pope]

Fox/hurney could of went out and got michael vick but no had to stick with jake delhomme and we all know how that went.

[Jangler]

who?

If we had a veteran QB and a legitimate #2 we would defiantly be at least 3-1 right now the way our Def is playing.

So yea.. Marc Bulger and Anquain Boldin two Raven players that should be Carolina Panthers that aren't because of JR obviously. How would you respond to coaching a team without a good QB or a vet at WR#2?

well..............I'm all for some other team to be enjoying his services because I've had it. Fact is.... I've had it for quite sometime now.

Does anyone here really think Richardson is going to get another coach who is NOT like Fox? This organization is conservative from the very top, down.

I will be pleasantly surprised if we get a new HC who is agressive

JR has had a change of heart....just wait and see.

[Seamonk]

With all this coaching talk about how Fox will not be here next year.. How do you think that will impact the assistants? Clausen was drafted because we had virtually the same Weis scheme, would a new coach come in and ruin that? What about our defensive coaching? Would changing the guy up top really bring change without changing the pieces that work with the players the most?

When I saw the title of this thread I thought it was going to say "...at being average "

We haven't had a real playbook since he's been here. Everything is obvious, passing formations and routes suck. I'm not even sure if we have a quick slant play in the playbook, the most effective play in the NFL. Seems we just have the receivers run retarded routes down field which are easy to cover. Running plays and passing plays people can see coming, regardless. We can't run a screen, ever, because it's obvious when one is coming.

Sorry, but Fox ball is tired and pathetic. Like Sean Payton says, it's a pass first league. Run first league and you end up like us: run, run, pass then punt and rely on defense to win you games? Boring and not effective. Even the Ravens have evolved into passing instead of trying to run it every down.

we ran slants this week. Dante Rosario converted at least one of his two first downs with a slant while split right, I can't say for certain on the other. We ran a couple screens this week. Are there any other plays you want to claim we don't run so you can look silly?

I mean, I know fans are prone to hyperbole, but maybe you're not watching that closely.

[mav1234]

a couple screens? try one imo!

are you counting a WR bubble screen as a screen? a lot of people don't. If you are, yes, on the play we ran where Smith was injured, that's a screen.

The only screen most of us would remember was on the first drive of the game. It was also the last screen most of us would remember, since the only other one involved Smith getting injured with one WR as a blocker. Many of us would like to see screens to our talented backs.

He reeeallly isn't as calm as most people make him out to be.

[ChucktownK]

Rams dominated yesterday because of screens all day long.

[magnus]

if you can't describe it without the word screen, maybe it fits. I mean, if you're not passing a ton, and we weren't, you don't run ten screens.

I mean, these guys do this for a living. They don't sit there and say "well, fans at home really love a great screen, it shouldn't matter the down or distance or defense, we're gonna screen."
