what ever happened to fox/davidson being the problem?


Recommended Posts

with all the finger pointing at the QB position, what ever happened to fox/davidson's ridiculous play calling being the achilles of the offense?

would any QB stand a chance under a system that had become as predictable as the sun rising and setting every day?

i am of the belief that the change in staff alone is the shot in the arm that the team needs.

It's a problem but it sure as hell wasn't the only one QB has been a major issue since 2008.

but what's the root of the problem, the QBs or the system?

since 2008, how many QBs (rookies and veterans) have come in and failed?

if the fans and game announcers can see what's coming when the team lines up, what do opposing teams' defensive coordinators see?

Clausen was overwhelmed at the speed of the game.He threw it away because Fox told him when it doubt throw it out.I have seen even manning and Brady play bad when the defense had ther number.We were very predicible and that is not a good thing in the NFL.As Riveria noted we had many thing wrong in our offense but Clausen took the fall.He desevered most of it but not all. Evidence of that is Moore looked bad last year as well compared to the year before.I hope alot of lessons were learned.

we were arguably the best team in the NFC in 2008 despite the lame playcalling......that was the last year w/ had "average" QB play for a season. It was painfully predictable in 2008.....just as painful as 09 and 10.

Foxball was what it was and if the season was tanking because of it, so be it. Everybody knew what was coming. In years following the Fox's first several here, opposing teams got it. Here is what they run and they don't deviate from it. It's up to the defense to stop it. Finally people did figure out how to stop it for the most part and Fox never adapted to the fact that just lining up and running the ball will not always get the job done. He was blinded by the success, though spotty and not willing to ackowledge the shortcomings.

    • Holy poo, App State is 5-7 and in a bowl game. LOL! The dozens in attendance look thrilled to be there. Attendance is so light half the players' parents didn't even bother. 
    • I have said that about Morgan in his playing days looking at facing Bryce, he would be licking his chops. To present a case for Dan having some sanity. I mean no way a real player would fear him, right? But I am not sure any more.  
    • Bryce missed a number of opportunities yesterday. There were guys open but he had either already moved on from them or never even got to them in the progression. He doesn't have a guy right now that he trusts. It was TMac earlier in the season, but he and TMac are not on the same page all the time, and Coker is actually the best WR on the team right now. I know that hurts some feelings, but it's true. The oline got their lunch money taken all day. It was really bad. In both the run game and the pass game. You could see when the QB lost all confidence in them and that mental clock started to shorten. But as a QB you have to push through that and stand in the pocket, go through your progressions, and deliver an accurate ball on time.  But yeah, my biggest take away is that this offense lacks speed and a true playmaker. A couple of solid guys but no true playmaker. As much as BY checked down to RBs, they couldn't make a guy miss in one one opportunities. And they weren't even LBs. They were DBs. You have to make that guy miss.  If they're serious about winning right now and not about player development, then Jimmy Horn needs to take XLs snaps. They only put him in to influence the deep safety with fly routes - XL can do that. Jimmy can run a lot more of the route tree than XL right now. Also Etienne needs to play more snaps. If BY is gonna be a checkdown king, then they need someone that can actually do something with the ball in space. Interior oline is weak. They aren't very consistent getting to the second level. Outside runs are this team's bread and butter. Gotta embrace that.
