Greg Cosell Breaks Down Our Offensive Woes

The problem with Cam is that he isn't adept at running a pro style offense. Last week on one of the few plays he took under center he tripped and fell on the hand off.

Smh, he tripped because Bell took his first step too deep and stepped on Newton's foot. That was a function of Bell's inexperience at guard. Cam has taken hundreds of snaps under center without tripping so I'm pretty confident this is not an indicator of anything.

Jaws and some others who have analyzed film have said he has done well from under center this year. He's just not being given the opportunities. By Rivera's own admission, they basically thought they were "staying ahead of the curve" by using the shotgun/read option base, but may have "out thought themselves." Doesn't sound like they were trying to protect him, more like they thought they'd be fooling people by continuing to do it and it failed.

there are some elements of the way the auburn offense ran that i would love to have employed here...but it mainly has to do with the tempo of the offense.

they need to get a group on the field that they can keep on there and can run the hurry up offense from beginning to end without giving defenses a chance to adjust.

All I know is this offense is just too stagnant. No movement. No sense of urgency. And the biggest, for me, no aggression.

IMO, the reason most folks are so frustrated is beause of the offense. So everyone throws out there 2 cents on how to fix it. There are some good, and not so good, suggestions.

For me the biggest difference between this year and last year is that Cam is not moving. Standing in the shotgun is just not how you use one of the most athletic QBs in the league. That, and kick Chud in the nuts to get his head back out of his ass. It must be stuck up there pretty good.

There is just so much speculation going on. But, that is what the interwebz is for.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
