So much to unpack here.
Starting with the overall conclusion, McD and Crew need to go.
I’ve posted on here about watching Brady as an OC refuse to get the running game going even after Rhule would assure everyone in the previous weeks presser that they would run the ball next game and make it a priority.
Having that guy and Dorsey working together with Josh looked like the same thing here. Josh and co showed in the first few games they absolutely could play the quick hitter short game to perfection. In fact, posters were ruing the fact we WEREN’T attempting the long ball enough at the beginning of the season.
Josh looked like he was refusing to even look at the short option on so many plays. Did he have someone in his ear telling him how important the long ball was???? Brady?, Diggs? His own ego? McD should have laid down the law and gotten them to take some of the pressure and wear and tear off of Josh.
McD’s message is fading and his “ Defensive prowess” is a bully’s prowess. It works well on the little guys but not on teams that aren’t afraid . He looks like a guy who is out of control with the effing Timeouts to kill good plays. And like a dope with no answers in the most critical moments.
While I don’t have a love affair with our D line picks I have the sneaking hunch a different coaching staff could scheme/get more out of them that our current coaches.
The RB situation is clearly malfeasance as stated above. It boggles the mind.
