I agree with your premise, but he made himself in over his head. Reality is he could’ve kept t he support staff around him. He could’ve hired an OC with a similar philosophy and built off Haley’s playbook instead of reinventing the wheel. He could’ve actually had players practice. He could’ve had Mayfield play in pre season games the right amo…[Read more]

And yet the 2 best teams in the NFL are too 5 in rush attempts and bottom 5 in pass attempts.

Instead of trying to “get with t times” run the god damn ball and win the games

I’m guessing a #2 would be the analytics guy Depodesta who isn’t a Dorsey guy

I want no parts of McDaniels. We need to run the damn thing for once. Enough shotgun bullshit. Run and use play action. Goal should be 40 hand offs and 20 passes a game

No one is perfect. He’s hit on more than missed. Dumping him means a guaranteed 2-14 overhaul and treading water by trading Dorsey picks for draft picks and tanking again. We are close. If the coach had a 1/4 brain we’d be in the playoffs

yes, I have definitive proof we ran Haley’s offense. This is from last year after he was promoted to OC:

Kitchens intends to run the same scheme deployed by Haley.

“We are running the same system as we ran before. We are not changing systems. Todd and I have the same system. He brought me up in this system. Nothing is going to change from t…[Read more]

@shooter last year it was Haley’s playbook all year. All Freddie did was be smart enough to ask the guys what plays they liked running and he dumbed it down a bit. They weren’t his plays.

A friend of mine pointed out that the biggest issue with coaches who are ex QBs is they are obsessed with throwing the ball especialky downfield.

Make no mis…[Read more]

You are seeing Freddie’s offense this year. The moment he threw away Haley’s playbook was the moment the season ended

Last game OBJ got one after a 1st down. Though I agree with your premise. They aren’t the problem. They want to win and they are getting in Maurice Kitchens face because they know he doesn’t have the brain for the sport

Not at all. I believe we will keep him and in 2021 we will have anew GM who will trade Mayfield and Garrett and company to rebuild again. Dorsey has too big an ego to admit being wrong

Ron Rivera. 2 time head coach of the year. The nice thing about him is when Wilks was DC under him he helped him tremendously. We could leave the D alone (so to speak) and Rivera can fix it due to prior relationship. He just needs to hire a real run first OC.

Other candidate I’d consider as a first time head coach is Greg Roman. He always runs a…[Read more]

Or the thought of scoring 2 times in 90 seconds against Seattle. The fact we have more than 1 of these in a season is very telling.

Right, a 3rd and 1 HB pass with 2 minutes in the half is a brilliant play call.

He earned the name Maurice Kitchens, or did the trauma erase the Maurice Carthon FB pass from your memory?

No one employed well enough for a game ball. Coaching blew the game.

T worst part is it played out for us to be in the hunt next week, except for Kitchens…[Read more]
