I'd trust him enough to fire Garrett and Linehan today.

Richard could then bring in Darrell Bevell, who's actually been known to run the football.
Ok. Let’s do it. A few more games like this one and JJ will be forced. Was pounding his fist yesterday. He has to be getting close.

I hate that statistic so much -- It's as if we just need to call 25 running plays and we magically win. That stat is created by the circumstances that allow a team to run the ball 25 times while limiting passes.
That's the same with all stats. Like any one stat tells the whole story or that the whole issue can be broken down so easily and precisely.

Dak looked the same direction the entire time, double pumped then finally threw the dunk

UGH that is depressing. Zeke knows he's going to stare down one side of the field and doesn't even attempt to get open.

The Zeke out of bounds play is also a good example of Dak's deficiencies.

He had the TE open for an easy first down right in front of him but he bailed way to quickly on the pocket.

Yes, it should have ended up working out anyways but it doesn't change the fact that Dak exhibited some of his flaws on that play.

You got a clip of it?

If that was, in fact, his call and not Pete Carroll's? Sure. That's one he can be criticized for, for sure. But it foes the wipe out years of good coaching while running the football either.

Run first?

The one common thread that we can tie back to Bevell - without a shred of assumption or doubt - is that he is a balanced play-caller. In a league where quarterbacks are reaching forty or more pass attempts in a consistent basis, Bevell has instead crafted the brunt of the playbook around the traditional tailback. Very rarely has the Seahawksasked Marshawn Lynch to carry less than 20 times per game, and in the few times that he had, it either resulted in blowouts or close games and losses.

This promise has led Bevell to many instances of praise and criticism. More recently, Bevell has been targeted by Seahawks fans for the sputtering inconsistencies of the offense, in particular the idea of the passing game and how it has seemingly shifted from "working off to play-action and capitalizing on large gains" to "traditional West-Coast offense routes in the short/middle routes". Of course, injuries and game-planning plays a huge part in these differences, but it does beg the question of what exactly Bevell believes to be his true philosophy, and more importantly, why he bases his play-calling upon those respective schemes.

It’s a joke our wonderful coaches didn’t recognize this until now.

What's wonderful is this is a different system in the secondary that he fits along with Awuzie. Also, they knew he was a good corner too, but had a need at safety.

He isn't a bad coach, but that one play will forever taint his perception.

It's like a story a friend once told me. There's this brilliant guy and he somehow figures out how to cure cancer and bring about world peace, but one day gets caught passionately fondling a goat. There's pictures in all the media and talk shows all about the unsavory act. The guy eventually passes away. One person turns to the other and asks, "Did you hear that guy passed away?" The other person says "The one caught passionately fondling the goat" It doesn't matter if you cure cancer or bring world peace, you passionately fondle one goat, just one....... and you will forever be the guy that passionately fondled a goat.

"Bevell’s offenses have finished inside the top ten of rushing in 7 of 12 seasons as an OC and 16th or higher in 9 of 12 seasons."
