I know of no one who thought it was a good move. He hand delivered us Dick Jauron. Enough said about Marv.

Goo Goo Dolls

Means very little with no blocking.

Agree, Oakland already shipped its #1 to NE, maybe their #2 is in play. Al Davis likes big names.

Ralph will change his mind if the gameday atmosphere turns ugly. He truly does not want to change the coach because he really thinks it won't change anything. What it would do is send the message of accountability which is obviously non-existant with the team.

Most likely, Russ will rework a lucrative deal messing up our salary cap for the immediate future with no hope in sight.

He talks way too much. Hang in there and make some throws, then talk.

Despite the low output, I did see a few wrinkles formation wise. The two back and two te sets should help the blocking though the whiffs were obvious yesterday.

He surrounds himself with yes men and any good football people will go nowheres near the situation. Brandon and Jauron basically serve the Matt Millen role as we sink.

I am pretty sure Marv came in mid season. That worked out ok. Ralph simply does not make mid-season changes

The players like having no accountability whatsoever. It's Camp Marv without the victories.

Edwards is not an NFL starter. The game requires physical play that makes him comfortable. Watch how Brady and Big Ben by time sliding in the pocket patiently as bodies are flying around them. Trent panics and makes terrible decisions built around getting the live grenade out of his hands. The other thing the QB position requires in the NFL is moxie, a desire to compete and win. A gunslingers mentality that TE simply does not have. His offensive line is weak but he lacks what it takes to play the position when they do block.

No real GM would accept the boneheaded play we are seeing. Special teams handing two games to the opponent. 10+ penalties most of which are the mental side of the game. The team is not prepared and is poorly coached. Brandon extended Jauron and that alone tells the whole story. He obviously is in way over his head.

TE pulls the ball down even when he does have time. He is too rattled to make necessary decsions. He needs to sit. A decision like this is too big for Jauron and Brandon.

Clearly the bothched punt return giving the opponent the ball in the red zone to win the game. I was torn because I also loved the 3 yard pass to Lee Evans as time was running short.

It showed a lack of organization. If it was part of a strategy, why did the team walk to the sidelines ? The team is poorly coached with no accountability by anyone.

The opponents have watched the film and have sniffed this play out week after week. Trent rolls out to a waiting defender. Yet we continue to call the play. Trent needs to watch, he cannot hang in there long enough for a play to develop. He pulled the ball down a few times today. I've never seen a QB with more planned roll outs to the right....not have a clue who/where to throw the ball?

It was a nice tackle, then he came out the next down on a passing down which was confusing.

I was amazed by this play myself, we need 30 yards with 23 seconds left and he throws a 3 yard pass to a wr when Cleveland was rushing 2 guys. TE throws a 3 yard pass to Lee Evans with 23 seconds left and 30 yards to go for a FG? How utterly stupid are these players?

Def bottom 5 with a few more player injuries to boot.

He was clearly looking back to find McDaniel who went to the other end of the field. No story here.

Orton played a great game and I thought McDaniel's celebrating was fabulous. Denver looks good.

My biggest issue with the no huddle is that it abandons the run game too easily. Have we had one time consuming drive all season? A young line is likely going to be better at run blocking. The other issue with the no huddle is it limits the formations. Honestly, I am at the point with this coach coupled with the injuries to Butler and Bell that I am not sure it matters what they do.

I imagine Jon Runyon must have been pretty unimpressive in his workouts if Jonathon Scott or Chambers is deemed to be better. My hunch is that it is yet another money saving move. By the fourth quarter yesterday, I would have put Wood or Levitre at tackle to salvage the 4th quarter rather than let Miami continue to pummel the QB. If the coach identified that the line is banged up, why not try to be innovative to work around it. Perhaps using a fb to pummel the undersized rusher coming off the edge. Seems to work against our rushers. Some teams like NE and Pittsburgh use an extra lineman at TE at some points. Maybe some TE help on the blocking rather than leave two weak tackles on their own to get beat repeatedly. Jauron sticks to his strategies no matter what. As for the defense, it has not looked the same since NO got to them in the 4th quarter. I wonder if fatigue is setting in. The heat yesterday with no break given by our three and out offense cannot help. How is a defense that went toe to toe with the offenses of NE and NO so helpless against Miami and their second string QB?

The only positive I see with the no huddle is Trent hasn't had to burn timeouts as the play clock winds down. It cannot be helping the young oline to be communicating on the fly.
