Kubiak called him Rico

Hes had some success but hes always been tied to Kubiak for the most part. And most of his success occurred +5years ago. His last 3 coaching seasons have produced subpar results. I just feel its inevitable with this guy. I dont see him lasting. Like someone else said, if he cant formulate an offense to maximize the current strengths of the offense, how can we expect this guy to formulate an offense thatll work to a rookie QB's strengths?

I don't think I've ever openly advocated for anyone to be fired this soon. In no specific order: 1. He was't McD's first choice to be the OC for the Bills; he was essentially the best option left on the table for the Bills. 2. His last stints as OC (Denver and Houston) his offenses have managed to finished 11th; 11th; 10th; and 31st (Houston)....then 18th; 21st (Denver); in points scored (we're currently 26th); much like Rex Ryan, his schemes and gameplans haven't evolved; his offenses have gotten stagnant or worse over the years. And that was with him being linked to Kubiak, who sometimes took over control of the playcalling at halftime according to Denver fans b/c it wasn't working out for the team (as per their message boards). Houston fans were happy to see him leave; Denver fans were really happy to see him leave. How many people here were actually happy to see Lynn leave? Not many. For good reason. 3. The guy is 60yrs old and he wasn't McD's first choice. Forget Tyrod, do we want Rico to be the OC for a rookie QB? Is this the offensive mind we intend to have groom our future QB? Is this the guy that's going to be here for the next 3-5yrs? 4. Dennison, in less than half a season, has managed to turn the #1 rushing offense in the league in 2015/2016, to a bottom-half rushing offense. Shady has one rushing game of +100yds this season; he has 4 consecutive games of garbage. Shady has scored 0 Touchdowns so far. He is averaging 3.2yds per carry. His career low prior to this was 4.1ypc back in his rookie season. 4a. Tyrod is averaging 3.8 yds per rush; and he averaged 6.1 last season. Tyrod has zero rushing TD's as well; he had 6 last season. Tyrod and Shady have combined for ZERO RUSHING TD'S THROUGH 5 GAMES. Let that sink in. This team was built to run the ball and its two main threats have a combined ZERO RUSHING TD'S. How we're even 3-2 is a miracle. 5. Miller and the offensive line dominated the run game last season; they look lost this season. Miller is now being benched in favor of Ducasse. Ducasse is not the future, he's garbage. If Rico thinks Ducasse is better than Miller, then that alone is an indictment of where Rico's worth to this team. This O-line clearly doesn't work well with Rico's run blocking scheme because the majority of the run plays the D-line is blowing up our O-line at the LOS. How many rushes has Shady had for -3 or -4 yards because the defender is in the backfield before Shady even has the ball. What Rico is doing to this offense is no different than what Rex did to the defense. Rico is taking players out of their element and making them perform functions they don't excel at in order to fit his antiquated scheme. Is this the guy we plan on developing our future QB? His play calling is wildly inconsistent, at best; it lacks imagination; it simply doesn't perform. His offenses haven't performed well since at least 2012. Cut the cord now; the Bengals cut it and have vastly improved. We cut it last year with Roman and vastly improved. Rico is not the future for anyone currently on this offense or anyone that we'll be drafting next year.

Agreed.

Tolbert and Ducasse. I dont get it.

Lmao. Youre on a roll this thread.

Very nice.

Anything with Ducasse in it is an abomination. Ducasse is the one piece that makes me wonder WTF is this coaching staff thinking?

I dont think anything is going to happen. More up and down games. The Bengals have a top 5 scoring defense and they were playing for their season yesterday. There are about 10 Tyrod threads on the first page; however, this offense was built to run the ball. We cant run the ball at all under Dennison. Its not rocket science.

A lot of theories on this board tend to occur in a vacuum.

Up until Tyrod's last game of the season we were top 10 in scoring in the NFL. That with an injured Watkins on/off for most of the season and street scrubs Hunter and Percy Harvin. How is top 10 scoring and what we're seeing through the first 5 games this season the "same bs"?

So 2 consecutive seasons of being #1 in the NFL in rushing was accomplished via a "cover up" operation. And teams, just now after +32 games, figured out how to stop it? Ugh huh.

🙂🙂🙂

Nothing, thats what.

Watkins, when on the field (healthy), had great numbers with Tyrod. Whats Watkins doing in LA with a #1 draft pick QB?

Teams have been loading the box for 2+ seasons now. Why are some of you acting like this is new? Our run blocking is putrid. I dont recall having so many runs for a loss as we've had so far. Our oline is getting beat at the point of attack. Our oline doesnt know what theyre doing. Thats coaching/scheme.

Lmao. If Tyrod did that what would we hear? "Garbage time stats". 100 threads on it. Wake me up when we have Hopkins on this team.

Hopkins is a beast

Also, Through 5 games: Eli +66 more pass attempts.

I do like Watson though. A lot. Hope he continues to evolve seems like a great kid.

The Bengals D is also loaded and ranked #3 in the NFL in scoring defense. And the game in cincy wasnt played in a dome.

I actually 120% agree with you here. Grass is greener syndrome is a real thing.

Wow. Hill has a different gear.

It was a different kind of "process"

4-12; 6-10; 6-10 to be exact.
