In space no one can hear Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Nice to see him get some positive recognition. Fairchild Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazykat Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 For what, leading the team to one of the lowest offensive scoring outputs in the league. He doesn't deserve any recognition other than for being unable to do what he paid to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderswr80 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I think second half of the year the offense will perform much better and put up more points. Remember its a new offensive system for everyone on the offense except for Price whos been in this offense before. This offense is just like a new pair of shoes, takes some time to break them in, but once broken in, you dont want to get rid of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Clements, is that you? 789872[/snapback] Nope, three games is all you need to know. Especially if you're lucky enough to get two easy road division games against expected playoff teams in two of those three. Get rid of him.

JStranger76 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Except for the bootleg call at the goalline I have had no problem with the playcalling. Barring any injuries, this offense will keep getting better. Also while not great. the Oline has been better than any of us expected, at least in run blocking.

Rubes Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I have had a little beef with the playcalling. For the most part, I think he's done a very good job, but my impression is that he has been a little too enamored of the intermediate-range pass plays. My impression of the offense is that the line is about average in pass blocking; occasionally they do well, occasionally they break down. And against the blitz, we are not all that strong. So teams have been able to get decent pressure on Losman. I would think in response to this we would be emphasizing the short, quick routes more...the quick slants, the short dumps to the backs or TEs over the middle or in the flat. But too many times I've seen JP taking seven step drops and scanning the field. Sure, we need to do this now and then to keep the defense honest, but I would think it would help JP's confidence, and the offense's production, to be doing some more short passes. I'm also a little annoyed at his reluctance to stick with Willis in the Jets game. Most of this is nitpicking, however, as I do think Fairchild has done reasonably well so far.

You can't push the QB in the other teams stadium to take a 7 step drop at the 1 yard line. Fairchild is also a 1st time OC (Mike Martz called the plays when he was the OC in St. Louis) and is learning his way around. Given some time, this staff/players should be able to run a workable offense by mid-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I'm luke warm on his performance so far. The drop pass with JP in the endzone causing the saftey. Not enough play action when Willis is doing well. JP needs shorter drops beacuse he is getting sacked with the 5 to 7 step drops. WR's are not getting open so change the routes, find the holes in the coverage. He gets a C- in my books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
