    THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Huge Loss

    I would like to ask Daboll "what do you believe this offense does best?" I'm not sure he knows the answer. Last year the answer was emphatically "Allen throwing the ball to WRs" and that made it easy to call plays. This year that identity isn't working. And I think because Daboll doesn't know what our identity should be, he is floundering. He is calling plays and changing personnel haphazardly with no attempt to build rhythm. It's like he is pulling play calls out of a hat. Regardless of how our line is holding up or what the opposing defense is doing, the play that gets drawn simply must be called.

     

    The offense has been out of sync most of the year, and I can't solely blame the o-line or any player for all of the issues. Daboll's job is to create an identity for the offense and design a weekly game plan around that identity. Yet every week the game plan is the same - Allen drops back and waits 5 seconds for long developing routes to break open so that he can throw a lower percentage pass; occasionally slam Singletary or Moss into the backs of their own linemen; hard counts that confuse our own players more than the opponent. Concepts that seemingly always work when we call them this year, like jet sweeps and Breida outside runs, are called rarely. Concepts that never work, like Moss runs inside the red zone, are called ad nauseum. Maybe Daboll needs to adjust the quantity of certain play calls in his hat.

     

    It feels weird complaining about the offense after a game that was mostly lost by the defense. But I am actually quite confident the defense will get back to its elite form once Star and Edmunds are back. It's hard to beat an elite rush offense when the core middle of your front 7 is taken off the board. Our run defense sucked without Star last year and it still sucks without him this year. I don't see any real cause for concern there. The offense on the other hand showed the same issues that have plagued them all year and I'm losing faith that Daboll is capable of making the necessary adjustments. I thought he had finally figured it out with some of the different looks we saw in the Jets game... but I guess that was just a lucky week where the right plays got pulled out of the hat.

    Well put and all that needs to be said is right here.

    So, by that logic, why hasn’t he Retired? 
     

    The choice is get the Vax and join society or stay home, where hopefully you aren’t a danger or a foul up to anyone else!

    You must be a smart one. Force an unproven DRUG into a human being for something that kills Less than .5% of people who get it? Stop watching corporate media.

    I agree. To an extent. All game I was waiting  for the one TD drive. I believed it was coming. Obviously it didn’t. This may be what this team needs. They haven’t lost to a bad team yet. The beat themselves against the titans. The Steelers was an opening day lull. They have always managed to beat the bad teams even when they themselves played poorly. But not today. They probably thought like most of us did: ‘we only need one TD drive. We got this.’I think this lights a real fire under this team.
