Yeah Gase seems to have the right attitude as a coach. I really like it.

Big question for me is still how good he is at adjustments. You can have as good a "prove it to me" attitude you want, but if you can't adjust in a timely fashion, whether it's X's and O's or personnel moves, well.. you're not going far. I think we'll know more on that one by the end of the season.

 

Glad to see this ... this was the aspect of Dan Campbell I liked, and was concerned about when they chose Gase. I know it took a couple of games of evidence, but Campbell made the big move of canning Lazor when he wouldn't (not couldn't, wouldn't) call running plays. This is refreshing after all the years Philbin apparently had no solution for underachieving.

 

That's as it should be. I realize that's not always as it is, but that's as it should be.

 

who is another candidate? Byron Maxwell?

 

Here's the problem with adjustments. Right now...they cant evaluate which plays work and which don't so much because the players themselves are making mistakes. If someone on the D Line freelances...then the gap assignments are all thrown off. This is why he is really getting hard on the players now to do their damn jobs. If they cant evaluate what plays actually work and which dont....then it becomes very hard to make adjustments.

 

I disagree with that. The no-huddle in the 2nd half of the NE game was an adjustment that should have been done earlier. You can make adjustments to improve players' play even when they aren't playing at full potential.

 

They ran a no huddle against the Browns most of the game. What we need is that faster paced no huddle. Keep the defense off balance and out of breathe.

I love that he is calling them out and not afraid to do so.

 

Culture. It is a game changer if it can be fixed. I think Gase is on his way. It just takes time. This is the reason I was for Campbell as the head coach. As green as he was, I felt like he could flip this culture on its head. I am liking Gase so far.

 

Its definitely the right approach, do your job and your assignments or someone else will. I like that.

 

He needs to apply it. And I don't care WHO it is. Williams, Suh, Jones ... whoever. If they give any lip, cut their ***. Can't have this garbage. I had my doubts about Gase's "buddy buddy" approach with the players, but showing them that they have to do their jobs or hit the road is the right approach.

 

Maxwell is definitely the nezt guy benched... and Tannehill will get benched midgame sometime this year. His slow decision making is hurting our offense not to mention the staredowns/telegraphed passes.

 

How do you know it is slow decision making and not receivers running poor or wrong routes?

 

Since gase is a QB guru, if tannehill doesn't get benched will you admit he isn't the problem

 

I wonder if we move tunsil out ROT soon

 

I've been asking this for years. I get answer that is basically, "You dummy, it's obviously Tannehill. He is below average, and everything that is a problem is his fault."

Now, if Gase ends up sitting Tannehill, then I'll take notice, and assume that Tannehill is really not the answer.

 

if someone is open and he does not throw them the ball is that poor decision making or the receiver running the wrong route?

 

Right OT? interesting idea. I guess what's the plan for guard then?
Albert was supposed to move to Guard when the Chiefs signed Fischer a few seasons back. Maybe this fix is as easy as swapping a couple guys

 

That depends on many factors.

#1. Where the receiver is in the quarterback progression
#2. Is the receiver in the wrong spot during a timing route
#3. Is the receiver actually open or does he just look open on TV

 

Bring back the real hammer!

 

Gase should be fired. Clearly outcoached by Hue Jackson.

 

Neville Hewitt wants to play.

 

I've been wishing for three seasons for the starters on both sides of the ball, to get sat during a game. I said it watching the game Sunday, sitting in a Chili's in Connecticut.

Send a message.

 

I think a message needs to be sent to the DL as well. We have too much money invested to be getting gashed in the run game and generating such an ineffective pass rush. Send the message, push buttons, get rid of bad apples and change this losing culture.

 

Half time adjustments have been phenomenal so far IMO. It's the initial game planning and preparation that I question, personally.

To your point, this may yet be one of the adjustments you may be referring to.

 

I love this message.

 

Yeah, initial game planning and preparation that's tailored to the opponent is definitely one area we need to see improvement in.

But in-game adjustments could be a lot better too. First of all, why wait till halftime? And second, half-time adjustments for the offense may have been "phenomenal" in the NE game and I'd say "good" in the Browns game, but I didn't see any in the Seattle game and none for the defense. It's worse for the defense because we couldn't adjust at all to NE without a starting QB just running their way to victory.

That's a coaching problem and specifically shows the lack of ability to adjust. Otherwise, I'm talking about personnel issues. Haven't seen anything egregious so far but we don't want to see the coach stick with an underperforming player for way too long like Philbin did. Just some examples..

 

Well I was thinking that when pouncey returns at C maybe we move Steen to LOG and Tunsil to ROT

 

This reminds me of Soylent green for the Dolphins...

The D stands for deadbeat!!!

It's refreshing from a fan standpoint as we knew this all along.

James just needed a wake up call. To me it's replacing Jenkins and Misi with Hewitt and Butler.

 

Be careful what you wish for, but yes I agree Misi can't keep up.

 

Man it's nice to have a real coach.

Gosh dang, I was clearly trolling with the "Fire Gase" post and no one bit. I just wanted to see what it felt like. Thanks y'all for not giving me the opportunity to feel like a butt munch! Haha

 

I think we should bench everyone besides 17...17 is not only very cute but the best QB in NFL history not names Gus Ferrote.

 

I think what your exercise/experiment inadvertently proved is that reputation some of us have is undeserved. We don't fly off the handle when normal people make a negative post. Our problem is with the people who **** on everything chronically.

 

I LOVE this.

This is good ONLY if he also takes blame and accountability when he messes up as a coach. I think he does that, like when he said he should have listened to Tannehill sooner during the Seahawks game.

It's just important that players don't feel like they always are 'wrong' and the coaches are 'never wrong'.

BEST hting about this though is that any entitled athletic diva NOT putting effort into executing properly will NOT continue to play ahead of a guy who does his damn job. THAT gives hope to your depth guys AND puts your first string on notice that their jobs ar eNOT safe if they slack.

 

I read a comment saying play Butler at Mike, Alonso at Will and Hewitt at Sam.

Misi would be nice backup.

 

should bench the coaches for a crappy gameplan

 

Then who would be the head cosch on thursday night?
