its not the plays that you call.... every team has a lot of the same plays, its how you set those plays up, its when you call those plays, its the formations and motions used presnap that set up more favorable matchups for those same plays. people always want to talk about imagination, but IMO its just about lining up and executing a well designed and timely called play, this team hasnt been doing any of that. We repeatedly fail to exploit known opposing teams weaknesses and completely ignore their strengths.@BlackMagic7 said:
Did you guys see how many times our WRs ran overlapping routes or ended up stacked next to each other at the end of their route? I was starting to believe the WRs weren't hearing the playcall right in the huddle or that they weren't understanding the playcall... Our route concepts had me scratching my head all game long.
The times when Cousins did have an NFL acceptable amount of time to throw his options were fuuuucked. stops, curls, drags... these routes over and over are a recipe for double clutch, hesitating and mistakes. That stuff has also become a reoccurring theme. Where did the offensive design that showed up for the first chunk of the season go? It's not like our offensive line was great then either. We never built on or off of anything good we did; we've gone backwards around the offensive line all season. I cannot dispute this but what plays will Stefanski call? They more than likely will run the same offense. Too late to install a new offense.
Hopefully there are some plays in that playbook that are bit more imaginative.
I think JDF honored what Zimmer wanted. More runs.
So he just ran the most basic of plays and they got stuffed.
But he at least followed orders.
I hate to see anybody lose a job leading into the holidays... but something had to change or a lot more people would be in line to lose their jobs right after the holidays.
