Last week I posted a point by point analysis of why Kingsbury is a failure. Most disagreed. I labeled him a fraud. No point belaboring the point except to say I have not changed my mind. This week while McVay quickly changed strategy when his QB was effectively harassed early, Kingsbury stayed with the same tired game plan. Murray spent the game trying to show he could be a pocket passer in a pocket that didn’t exist. While we watched Goff roll out with great efficiency, we saw nothing of an adjustment from Kingsbury, whose coaching apparently consisted of “throw the ball to Hopkins.” Not bad advice, but hardly a substitute for real adjustments.
Then there’s personnel. I just don’t get Isabella. He’s fast, but his skill set appears to end there. I have no clue why he’s the target in crucial situations. Johnson looked better to me. I can’t argue that with a Fitz out, the receivers are inadequate. Kirk has a habit of disappearing almost totally in some games. Still, why Isabella?
I’m not a big Joseph fan either but he has been handicapped by extreme loss of personnel. If they change the head coach, surely this position will be changed too. So I don’t see this as a big concern.
