I didn't exactly get to "see" this, but, from what it sounds like, I think this might be a fair call.I still cannot fault Zac Taylor after this game. If you a big component of stats, then yes, I'm sure you will put the burden on his shoulders. Or even if you look at how he holds onto the ball, you will put fault on him.
But may I ask you how many times our WR's got seperation from DB's to give Zac that inch of daylight to throw the ball into? I saw maybe twice all game. Once he overthrew Nunn on a post pattern thanks to a nice bump from the CB, the other he delivered the ball late to Hardy.
All I saw from the WR's is patterns being cut off, WR and TE's both taking forever to get in and out of their breaks, continuely looking back for the ball instead of running their pattern. Get in/out of your break then find the ball, it's very simple.
The WR's and TE's in this offense are HORRID and Zac is taking so much blame it isn't even funny. These WR's have not made much transition and the offense is failing miserably thanks to their ineptitude.
I don't think Calahan would let Taylor play if he was the main reason things weren't working. He knows about our 2 and 3 QBs, and I don't think, by any means, that any head coach would be too stubborn to change QBs....... and if BC was even close to that, this ... this........ (fill in the blank) 1 point victory, 7-6, would surely snap him out of such a thing.
There have been dropped passes, and I'm wondering about the TEs as well.
Matt Herian really won't be back, you think? That would be a big loss....
But I guess it will take time for everything to fall into place.
If the kids are too confused, and are thinking too much, though..... (I am reminded of what I heard on the postgame show, I think), if they are thinking too much, then they can't Play Football. The one area where I am reallly unsure of is BC making things too complicated. But maybe they will meet in the middle - BC simplifies his WCO a little, and the kids get more used to it.
I don't really know yet.
I still think it is too early to tell on some things.
But as far as 7-6....... that is an ugly, ugly offenseive performance.
BC can't be proud of that. Be proud of the kids, yes. but not proud of how successful he was at doing his job.
