BRAWNDO Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Actually I think Marrone gets a pass on his OL coach and his OC since these are his specialities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Was out of football last year. Probably forgot everything he ever knew. We're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Someone quick, break out his Wins/Loss record as a OL coach. This will obviously determine his worth as a position coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Morris has coached the line that led a #1 rushing attack 3 times. We're those 3 with Peterson in minny? Or which years? I'd be curious to learn more about the schemes and backs involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 We're those 3 with Peterson in minny? Or which years? I'd be curious to learn more about the schemes and backs involved SF --- 1998 - Garrison Hearst leading rusher SF -- 1999- Charlie Garner leading rusher MN- 2007 - Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor (Tavaris Jackson QB) Do your own freakin research next time.... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Over his 15 years in the NFL, his teams have finished in the top 10 in rushing 9 times...not too shabby. Average team rushing rank (1997 to 2011)--11th overall (average 2,035 yards, 4.4 YPC) 2011 Tampa--30th 2010 Minnesota--10th 2009 Minnesota--13th 2008 Minnesota--5th 2007 Minnesota--1st 2006 Minnesota--16th 2005 Detroit--26th 2004 Detroit--19th 2003 San Francisco--5th 2002 San Francisco--6th 2001 San Francisco--2nd 2000 San Francisco--18th 1999 San Francisco--1st 1998 San Francisco--1st 1997 San Francisco--8th Other than the 2011 stint in Tampa (LeGarret Blount) and his two years in Detroit (Kevin Jones) , his teams have had really strong running games. And yes, it helps to have Adrian Peterson and Garrison Hearst for much of that time! This looks like a very good hire, although I wonder why he was out of the league in 2012....

Wait, people are doing that. I wonder about the sacks allowed. Hmmm. 2011. #1 Buffalo Bills. #11 Tampa Bay Bucs. 2010: #14 Bills, #18 Vikings 2009: #28 Bills, #18 Vikings. Do I sense a trend here? What was the reason for the meteoric rise of our OL, personnel or coaching? Edited January 20, 2013 by kas23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
