What's the alternative? How about quit doing things like, I don't know, throw to Williams 3 times in a row when Breaux was completely shutting him down? Hey it didn't work twice, let's keep lining him up with him. Screw creating a mismatch! Or how about quit running on every 1st down? Or maybe create misdirection, have designed rollouts, or just attempt creating any sort of confusion? All I saw was handing the RB the ball and running straight. But I'm just a poster here, what do I know?
ok, last week everyone criticized we don't throw to WR. this week is why are we throwing to WRs. we were down to 3 WRs, one of who is only a slot WR and the otherone really sucks. Escobar doesn't cut it, dunbar got hurt and so you are down to Williams & Witten as your primary recievers. who do you throw to? Witten who is doubled and has a man over the top? or Williams who is singled with one DB?
how do you create a mismatch when you don't have the personnel to do it?
btw, we had designed roll outs.. the problem with roll outs is that you limit yourself to half the field and if defense floods the lanes, there is nowhere to throw. we tried and only had success a couple of times for short gains.
how do you create confusion with limited talent.....
we all knew our RBs are limited and they will complement the passing game. but now, the passing game is suffering and the running game is suffering as a result.
the fact is weeden sucks. he is limited. graphics showed he throws to the middle and right 95% of the time. and at that he throws 0-15 yards 90% of the time. you don't think defensive coordinators know that? how many times did we see the announcers say why isn't weeden stepping up into the pocket and instead kept going backwards and falling on his arse.
there isn't one team in this league who wins without talent and win consistently and without top 5 talent. this ain't college ball son
