My thoughts are we need to onside kick about 50% of the time.

Yeah, nobody can cover that guy. He darn near ran Trufant off the field that game when he got injured in 2016.

Bingo. That puts this trade in perspective, doesn't it?

Some people can't leave well enough alone. They get impatient. Or maybe because of cap restrictions and having to let players walk, they try to fit a square peg in a round hole. It's weird too because with Quinn his defense is based on simplicity, familiarity, and reaction time. The better you know something the faster you play. But he did the exact opposite at the start of this season.

fwiw, I posted a topic here that Shanny was the best OC we ever had 5 games into his FIRST season (look it up if you don't believe). That being said, he's gone. He ain't coming back. And after he botched the end of 51, most were ready to run him out on a rail anyway. It's best to move on.

Eugene Vick Shanny Man...this franchise just has bad luck or karma or something when we start to get close to the pie.

He totally understands situational football. His mindset is to IGNORE it. That is both his strength and weakness. It's why he is so unpredictable as a play caller. And it's also why he botched the end of 51.

He's gonna be asked this question so many times the next two weeks he won't be able to HELP himself thinking back about it. The media is relentless when they see a chink in the armor.

22.4% rushing percentage? Can that possibly be correct? That's less than 1 in 4. TERRIBLE.

I'm seeing this as a repeating problem with Quinn. Asking people to do things they simply aren't good at. Person/Garland flip flopped, Beasley in drop zone, Kazee at nickel, Rashid Morris coaching WRs while our DBs are horrendous, guys at nose that are simply too small, trying to run a 3-4 type look with 4-3 talent. He tinkers and not often in a good way.

That bears out what I was thinking. I'd take Hooper over and TE with a name not starting with a "K".

It does if they don't stop it. How many plays IN A ROW did San Fran run it on that drive that put the game away Saturday. 10 or 11? Have we EVER run the ball 11 times in a row since Jam was here? There have been games where Belichek ran the ball 40 times.

Someone else to run the offense and call plays?

I agree. I thought so when he was here.
