There have been some pretty interesting posts since I last posted on this thread. A lot of good comments and points.
I think What I was trying to say is at this point we have what we have on offense. You can argue that the talent is lacking and it is a valid point.
As a coach what is it you need to contribute to make the talent better? You need to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of the players you are coaching and develop a method to improve them. Let's say for example most would agree that Levi's strength is run blocking, pass blocking not so much. So you look at his pass blocking techniques and analyze what his problems are in pass blocking. Does he have problems sliding laterally to his left or right? Is he slow off the snap? Is his punch ineffective? Etc. Etc. Now what can you do to make these weaknesses better? If you can't make them any better how do I cover them up? This is what it seems many of the coaches on the offensive side of the ball lack.
Watch the last two games and you see the same problems snap after snap. Everything is stagnant and nothing changes or gets better. Yes Whiz has gone through a litany of coaches on the offensive side save Grimm. What does that tell you about Whiz's ability to select coaches. I think most would agree that Whiz has had almost total freedom to pick the coaches he deems best to fit what he is trying to do and that in itself may be part of the problem.
All I want to see is incremental improvement week after week. All I see is the same with no improvement whatsoever. May be the problem is all the offensive coaches are off doing their own thing and there is limited coordination amongst them. What is wrong with Grimm going tot the Miller and saying look we just have to give Massie help with a chip because he just can't handle the wide rush no matter what we try to do with him. Maybe the Offensive coaching staff is dis-jointed and that contributes to the offensive woes. These are just guesses on my part but there is certainly something wrong on the offensive side of the ball.
The defense seems to have their collective brains together and have developed a fluid chemistry. Maybe Horton is better at communicating with the defensive coaches and Miller is not. The bottom line is there is a breakdown and I just have a hard time believing its simply talent.
