What is Bill REALLY saying?

[proline]

Listening to his press conference yesterday, several times he is asked questions about why he's making this change, but he never really comes right out and says it. He says that it's not necessarily the OL play, or other obvious blockers. He doesn't blame it on receivers. He won't come right out and say it's Bledsoe, but my impression is that he thinks that Drew is not just taking sacks, he's not utilizing the protection schemes properly, i.e. the protection schemes are designed to work a certain way, and Bledsoe is consistently defeating them.

Is that really what's at the heart of this? I think it has more to do with this than it does immobility or throwing picks in Bill's mind.

Prolly has to do with winning 2 dropping 1... winning 1 dropping 2.. rinse and repeat over and over. Not using all the weapons in the aresenal to their full potential. No indication of this every changing if something wasnt done etc etc.

Different use of the weapons will prolly change right away. The winning and losing problem might take a while but maybe by the end of the year we'll at least have a chance to break the cycle.

Look, none of this would mean squat if we all agreed that our skill players aside from QB were all pedestrian. The hope now is just that we can get the ball in those guys hands and thus the endzone with a little more consistency.

Maybe it wont work a lick for certain reasons (too many picks sprinkled in with the good things) but it just started to boil over when, nevermind the issues on the road which go back a while, you watched only scoring 3 at home in the first half against the Texans, and 7 against the Giants when there was obviously opportunities for more.

Right, ... plus I think that Bledsoe feels so much pressure right now from the defense that he is not seeing the entire field, which points to what you are saying that he was not using all of our weapons.

Its was nice to see Romo hit at least 5 different receivers, and that was in one half.

Well, here we go on this new adventure.

At least he did not use the ole gut feeling routine.

Vela's article pretty much answers your question proline. The time Strahan was left unblocked, it wasn't a breakdown. It was a designed play that Bledsoe failed to run properly. He was suppose to make a quick throw and he was suppose to key off what Strahan did on the play.

There ya go, speed.

And theres prolly been a lot more examples than that of it this year too. How else would one explain the wildly inconsistent nature of the the offense. Not just game to game which might depend on ones particular opponent that day.

But even series to series or half to half within the same game. It's just that in the games we actually won it didnt matter much cause the other team couldnt hardly score on us anyway.
