Dorkington Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Wonder if our offensive players still have Chan's playbook... there was some plays and formations that I think worked really good for our personnel, Hackett should take a look at it.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I have a feeling Hackett and Marrone will work things out. I also have a feeling the health of EJ was on everyone's mind. When you think about the fact that besides EJ you have two other very questionable guys at back up, i think the play book reflected concern for keeping EJ healthy. When the staff feels totally comfortable that EJ is healthy i believe we are going to see more read options and other plays that will allow EJ to show off his mobility in the pocket.

TheBrownBear Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Nathaniel "Can't" Hackett is the son of Paul Hackett, the least successful coach in USC history. Looks like he learned his vanilla schemes directly from daddy. Enjoy being outgained every week by 100+ yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUNCH OF MULARKEY Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 What happened to summers lead blocking for spiller on the short yardage stuff like we saw so much of in the pre season? I like the no huddle but not late in the 2nd half. No screens,end arounds , play action or bootlegs. Was the play calling that simple to protect ej?

NoName Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Pettine, in his first game did an excellent job. Considering the talent (or lack of) he had in the secondary. The Dline consistently had pressure and the secondary was very aggressive and in the right spots to make plays. So far very impressed. Just shows you how much of a bonehead Wonstache was. As for Hackett? NOt impressed at all. I couldn't help but wonder how things would look with Chan calling plays. Spiller is our biggest weapon but how do you constantly run him in the middle????? IN the same formation???? Stevie Johnson is our second biggest weapon. How many times was he targeted??? Slant passes to Stevie was our bread and butter for years, where did that go? The lack of formations, and creativity was baffling. I am really concerned about Hackett as well. It's only one game so I am not saying he should be canned or anything but that offense of game plan was putrid. Spiller does most of his damage outside the tackles. Freddie does most of his damage between the tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 The only reason this game was close was because of Mike Pettine. He is a brilliant D-Coordinator. Impeccable scheme. Hackett was awful today. Predictable, conservative, not taking advantage of matchups and adapting that Jackson should have been focused after the 1st quarter. Questionable headcoaching. We perhaps witnessed the worse challange in recent years. Taking into account the recent inepness, of Mularkey, Juaron, Williams. Even more clueless about time managment in the 4th quarter than these guys. Unfortunetly I think Pettine will be poached from the Bills after this year or next. 2 games later and this post is still how I feel about things. I'm just about ready to give up on Hackett.

Nitro Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Funny, I don't see anybody saying that. ho There are gonna be growing pains - just hope that Hackett and Marrone will be able to see what we are all seeing and feeling from watching on TV. Preemptive strike. TBD is me to those who hit the panic button rather quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
