Borat Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 The hatred for MM continues. Dude gets a serious amount of blame for our offensive woes. Yes he has made mistakes, but he is a dam good coordinator, especially for the kind of offense Smitty said he wants to run (a tough, run first, ball control, smash mouth offense). His Oline, WRs and QB have not always executed well. Mularkey is too old to run, block, throw or catch passes. The notion that all he does is run the ball is simply a myth. We passed 54% of the time and ran 46% of the time last season. With that split there's no way the run, run, pass moniker his detractors have pinned on him could be true. It's just not mathematically possible folks.You can point to the lack of 20+ yard receptions but to paraphrase him from a TV interview in 2009, 'there are deep routes in most of our pass plays. The players have to execute them'. By the way we were ranked 10th in both the 20+ and 40+ yard reception categories in 2008, before TonyG got here. MM's offense posted some good stats last year:20101st - 4th down conversion%1st - fewest penalties2nd - time of possession3rd - 3rd down conversion%3rd - fewest sacks allowed3rd - fewest giveaways4th - total first downs4th - fewest INTs thrown5th - points scored5th - fewest fumbles lost8th - passing TDs9th - rushing first downs9th - passing first downs9th - rushing TDs10th - completion%10th - passer ratingHaha I noticed you also posted this as a new topic.
