mike6683 Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Does anyone have any idea what our run to pass ratio is in OT this year. It really annoys me when we are on the edge of field goal range and chan is consistantly running 5 wide sets when we only need 5 yards.

Doc Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 My opinion is that Gailey is basically having Fitz shoulder the load to see if he's his QB of the future. Gailey knows the season is over so wins don't mean as much as finding his QB. Hence so few runs later in games and in OT.
mike6683 Posted November 29, 2010 Author Posted November 29, 2010 was it annoying when Fitz threw a perfect 40 yard strike for a TD that was dropped? its easy to focus on one flay but im making a point about poor situational play calling in ot throughout the season
PromoTheRobot Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I recall some run plays. But our attack is through the air. PTR
Cornerville Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I agree with the original poster. Another thing somewhat unrelated as to WHY Chan throws a lot, is the lack of a threat at the TE position in the offense really, REALLY hurts this team in those situations. If I am Nix and Co, I am making the Front 7 and a pass catching TE the absolute top priorities come the off-season.

It really annoys me when we are on the edge of field goal range and chan is consistantly running 5 wide sets when we only need 5 yards. I'm starting to see Gailey as basically a Kevin Gilbride: Throw the ball, no matter what, and then throw some more. 58.5 % pass plays 41.5 % run plays I don't know what the OT numbers are.

If you don't develop a winning attitude now next year will be to late as well. If you watched the game we couldn't run the ball at all and the best part about our offense is the pass. Fitz is our QB of the future at least for the next couple of years.
Kelly the Dog Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 It could be because we have trouble run blocking and the Steelers are on a pace to end this season with the best rushing defense in the history of the NFL.

I never said that Gailey doesn't want to win. If anything, airing it out shows he wants to be aggressive. Edited November 29, 2010 by Doc

It really annoys me when we are on the edge of field goal range and chan is consistantly running 5 wide sets when we only need 5 yards. I agree and disagree. 1) I agree that when we've been on the cusp of a GW FG (Chiefs, Ravens, and now Steelers games), the playcalling freezes up and we become too one dimensional. On the 40 yard line, all you need is five yards. 2) I disagree to the extent that you're suggesting that Chan didn't call a balanced game overall today. Chan said he wanted to run "effectively" today, and I thought they did just that-- e.g., I think Jackson averaged over 5 ypc. You're not going to run on the Steelers; so to be able to pick your spots to get 5 ypc is tremendous.
808 Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 why does everyone say we need a TE. gailey has so many WRs on the field a TE wont make it out there anyway and if he does hes gonna be a blocker. i just dont think a TE is a position gailey uses as much. you got WRs to do most of the receiving in his style of offense it looks like

Green Lightning Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 45 pass attempts. 15 rushing attempts. I see no balance or even the hint of balance. We were playing the Steelers who shut down the run on the best teams but cough up gobs of pass yards. Our line is still weak on run blocking and the game was ours save a dropped pass. Chan gameplans based on our personnel and what the other te gives us. It's called good coaching.

I'd prefer going for one in FA since it seems hard to get one in the draft.

Or just that we have bad TEs that he doesn't like to use and your globalizing it to his career? I know he has trends I just have no idea his history with that position.
wnyguy Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I wondered who I could blame for this loss, it must be Chan Gaileys fault. Thanks, for a while there I was blaming it on Stevie Johnsons dropped touchdown.
Bangarang Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 If you want conservative play calling, go find Dick Jauron.

Gailey knows the season is over so wins don't mean as much as finding his QB. Hence so few runs later in games and in OT. I will politely disagree. I cannot conceive of a head coach who does not have winning as the #1 priority. Plus, Fitz has tons of opportunity to show his reaction to pressure: four losses by three points each - two in OT. He has game, close but no cigar. The blatant drops are not on Fitz.
