WellDressed Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I just watched the miami game in slow motion, and despite repeated mental errors and unbelievably bad coaching, our players usually beat the guy in front of them. Miami had at least two tight ends and a fullback in against our base 4-3 all day long and we usually stopped the run. There isnt any doubt in my mind that man for man we are a vastly superior team. except for pennington, who is awesome. Our players are frustrated by the ridiculous coaching. Slow motion reveals a lot. Miami had all the answers and our coaches just never adjust. Only hossage the "sausage" could endure that game in any speed other than 2X.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Let's see how Ryan plays in another year. Rookies often look better than they do in the second year as teams figure them out. I think that's one of the prtoblems TE needs to overcome I think this team does have an identity. They emulate DJ very well. Typically I tend to lean towards not making radical changes, and I'm not expecting to have a pro-bowler at every position. But at this point, I think DJ should go. However if RW is just going to bring someone else in for the min salary which likely means minimul experience, then I'd just as soon give DJ another year. As everyone has stated, when you switch coaches, you start over and no sense starting over with someone who has no proven track record. I'm not in favor of Bobby Apriil either as he likely may be another example of a great corodinator, poor HC. Could be wrong, but I'd rather not find out. Edwards has yet to figure out how to beat a defense when it drops everyone into coverage. But he is young and history has shown that QB's take time to develop. (Ryan is the exception to the rule) Now on to the coaching.... seems like everyone wants Jauron fired, I think that is totally the wrong thing to do. Teams need to form an identity, they need to have a plan from top to bottom.
