Re: The everything Gruden thread
you call a play. The players do not block. What are you supposed to do as a play caller? Assume they won't do what you practiced and planned?
Now, different question: why did the guys blow the blocks? Bad preparation? Bad onfield communication? Something the other team did to throw off our guys? What?
SOunds to me like we've got to simplify things, until we get our shit together. And that means we can't do as much as we'd like. And that means people will be calling Gruden conservative and timid.
Here's my view of the offense and the coaching: the system works fine, even with Colt, the no-armed bandit. We need a better o-line: draft and FA next season. And we need to fix our prep and communication issues. Most likely, that comes with keeping a system in place and working hard to perfect it. And that means keeping Gruden. Plus, there's no one better in the wings, to be sure. Stick with it.
Haslett, on the other hand, has been here five awful years. Time to clean house there. Please.
Oy.
