    Good point I guess.  Analogies can be distracting, but that one seems pretty close:  That ship is at the bottom of the ocean and we are at the bottom of our schnapps bottles. 

     

    I just can't buy in that this is gonna improve, and him sticking with Sims starting the second half might have shown me what I needed to know.

    Eh, my desire to throw a pie in Coach Rhule's face is tempered a bit, at this point anyway, by seeing his 1 win and 2 win records in his first years at Temple and Baylor.  He did fine after that, as we know.

     

    This time, though, he's trying to fire up an old rusted out locomotive that has tons of dead weight behind it.  So, even if he's successful at getting it moving it's going to be very very slow going.  I guess it's a a five year plan. 

     

    And I'm sure there were a few folks on the Titanic that thought it was gonna be ok...

    I don't think this offense is complicated, my problem is that it doesn't fit our players. He's putting square pegs in round holes.

     

    Call RPOs, simplify the reads, don't have Sims drop back and read the field.


    He’s got to be able to hang on to the ball for any of that to work

  4. That the 3-3-5 is going to be painful to watch, almost as much as the O line.

     

    The Sims situation is interesting.  They need to adjust the offense to his strengths, anything more than him throwing 10 yards becomes an adventure.

     

    I'm not sure that this season is going to be anything less than a unmitigated disaster, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
