Yep, among other things...like Tannehill does not throw a good deep ball.

I'd complain as well, people are dogpiling Wallace, he does have issues (Ginnesque hands) to put it all on him is just BS.

 

he does nothing to merit setting him up. drops a first down catch. Doesn't even try to keep his feet in bounds on the deep ball. Yes, the throw was off and it would have been a very hard catch, but wallace owes us some hard catches. Wallace has done nothing this year but fail to make plays when they come his way. the ravens game was the worst of the season as he just totally **** the bed in that one.

 

I got a strong double stack behind my optional zipper for ya. :tongue2:

It sickens me, too, to see how few bunch formations we've been using, ESPECIALLY tonight when knowing Wallace would most likely be drawing Revis.

 

A little too much respect for Revis, and most of the coverages were dictating the ball go elsewhere. Personally I think they should do more to get Wallace involved but clearly the staff disagrees.

 

Eh, w/Revis it makes sense though, he is expert at coming off of his man to make an Int, clearing him out is a good option...BUT...you also have to feed him for doing all that work.

 

we need a new OC and a new oline. OC clearly has shown that he can't make any in game adjustments.

 

That is a big fat "waah" for him, I suspect Philbin was to soft on these guys, that is one of the reasons why we see what we see.

Rarely are our guys the aggressors.

 

Hey remember when Dan Henning called every fade to Hartline rather than giving opportunities to our playmaker Marshall b/c he thought it was the last thing a defense would expect? I was hoping we moved beyond that type of stuff but....

 

I think that could be part of the defense's problem too. They seem to spend too much time thinking rather than having simpler reads/responsibilities so they can play fast and decisive like how the Seahawks scheme it up.

 

How about some crossing routes? Clay and Matthews down the seams w Wallace and Hartline crossing underneath, maybe Miller swinging to the flats. It seems like we are stuck on the same handful of concepts offensively.

 

Heh, if one recalls Marshall's time here, he had the dropits on fade passes from Henne.

 

If the OC isn't making the proper adjustments then his HC needs to intervene. The run game has been an issue for most of the season, I thought we had it fixed but tonight we had what, 2 yards rushing? That's pathetic. I don't want to hear about the OL sucks, there are college teams who could run for more yards than we did on Tampa tonight. It was a failure from top to bottom and everyone from Egnew to Ireland deserves blame.

 

losing both Marshall & Bush were absolutely gut-wrenching for me. Imagine if we still had both and drafted Lacy and used a high pick on a WR & TE to compliment them, plus employed an OC who could actually utilize 2 of the league's premier playmakers like Detroit is successfully doing? FML.

 

Stop pouring salt on the wound. lol

The objective fan in me wanted to wait for this season to play out before criticizing the moves, but now that we're far enough along I'd tell Ireland & Co to eat a bag'a ***** for it. I still wear my Marshall jersey in spite, so f*** him.

 

Like I said in another post , non productive players with issues are ok though ..... big big big sigh.

 

I'm with you on Reggie, I thought Miller would produce a lot more for us. That's what I get for trusting a cane lol.

Marshall I'm not so sure about, that dude can get a dozen targets and still be pissed. I don't think our current system would fly with him.

 

Sometimes , not always of course , fans are more correct than management.

Unfortunately for this franchise that happens far far far too frequently.

 

I disagree.

We have a lot of fans who like to think they are smarter than management. I can't say for sure who's who but Hindsight and amnesia are a sure sign you've run into one.

 

Well, to be fair to you, Philbin & Sherman would've squandered Bush's ability just like they did the year prior, so....

... which is why if I had Bush & Marshall I would've perhaps brought in a coordinator capable of building an appropriate system around their great ability rather than choosing a system that isn't suited for them and subsequently having to start from scratch b/c of it.

 

I disagree.

We have a lot of fans that think Ireland was the answer and the direction we went was going to bring his team into and win in the playoffs.

If someone contradicts what turns out to be a very poor decision at the time , is that hindsight? I don't think it is.

No one is always right of course , but you need your GM to be right a LOT more than what Ireland has been imo.

Yet another frustrating season is not acceptable , you agree?

 

I agree, if Sherman isn't the worst at scheming to get players in space I don't know who is. It's unacceptable. My jaw shouldn't have to drop in awe when watching the semi-creative catch & run TD play by Matthews. Fortunately I watch enough football to realize what I just witnessed was not in fact a miracle caliber play but rather like something the rest of the league does routinely.

 

When Ireland hired or gave his approval to Philbin he said his job was to get the type of players his coach wanted.

Somewhere something went awry .

 

... and Tannehill, Miller, Reshad Jones, and Pouncey.... and possibly our linebackers to some degree as well.

 

during the first half when the feed was complete, in other words i could as well as here the game, Gruden was pointing out that Jerry was giving a huge tell as well. he would look around to Tannehill and then tell Pouncy when to hike the ball when in shotgun. first he stated it then he actually highlighted it and sure enough, he was and the D was all over the count

 

hard to throw a good deep ball when you don't have time to blink before the Dline is on top of you.

 

You probably wouldn't want Jon Gruden here then.

"Shorty, this is you. This is a Coke bottle-" "I don't wanna be the Coke bottle top." "Okay, well, wadd'ya wanna be-" "Man, I wanna be the piece of glass!" "Okay, got it...now listen..."

...what about me....You, you go Long!!!

 

Ugh.. preach man, this is exactly how I feel about Sherman.

 

It's not good Sec.

I agree about Wallace being put in good situations.

However, you think about it...He catches that one pass and Tannehill hits him on that big one and he probably winds up with a 4 catch 100+ yd night and a TD.

The GM & coaching staff just aren't good fits. I want it all gone.

 

It's like they want to get fired.
