At the time I couldn't fathom what happened. Maybe it was arrogance that Chaz Green can play. But looking back...just another prime example of incompetent coaching. And some fans will tell you blaming Garrett is a cop out but that game was arguably the biggest stain on his career. He sat there time and time again watching Dak get killed by this guy. Completely buried Chaz Green and almost did the same to Dak. Chaz Green was a young player at the time and Dak was in his second year. Should've protected him more that game.
that game alone helped magnify the leading collapse about Garrett and his crew - the ever continuous failure to make adjustments.
they simply believe in lining up for a game and beating you on the other side,. anything else was apparently too overwhelming or clueless for them.
i really believe management wanted to force themselves to believe that Garrett was going to be one of the very best, talked about HCs in the game.
As if he is one of the most innovative young minds in the game. "
we do what we do "
One of the most simplistic minds as a HC that i've seen coached.
as with ATL this game, Garrett was freed up from the Xs' and O's play calling duties to better manage and overseer the games so he could have an
immediate impact as far as adjustments, but he was so simple and set in his ways of just executing we do what we do across the line, that he simply
did not have it within himself to properly make adjustments - we were probably the worst in the NFL at that area. ..adjustments.
And opposing teams knew they could counter or scheme against us accordingly so. Neither the OL coach nor the HC had a clue of how
to make adjustments.
