our offense

Why can't our offense be consistent? I'm simply wondering why we can march down the field at times and then the other 75% of our possessions are cut short due to penalties, turnovers etc. IMO our offense has good enough players to be more consistent. Maybe I'm posting the obvious, but I keep quiet lately and just felt like getting some responses. Shoot, maybe it has even already been covered, but who's to blame the most? The o-line? Watson? Others?

 
Man I knew I'd be late getting in on this, but I just don't have the patience sometimes for all the worked up "fans" ............thanks for the links though.

 
:lol:

Hope that didn't come across wrong - I was just trying to illustrate that there must be about eleventy-bazillion theories by us "arm-chair" coaches.

Personally - and I've always felt this way - all problems are cured by strong line play, on both sides. I think our offensive line is the problen with the offense. With a superior line, you can just about get by with mediocre talent on the rest of the offense. An average running back suddenly has gapping holes to hit. An average quarterback has all day to pick out the wide open receiver. The receivers have time to break from the defensive backs, helped by the fact that the run game has pulled them up.

We need the kind of line we had for years and years.

To me, the interesting question is why the line isn't better? Is it the talent? The coaching? Both? Just need more time?

Dunno...

 
I don't think any line or offense is going to be very consitent with the current play calling. It doesn't allow any part of the offense to get in a rhythm. You can't run once then pass 7 times and thats in the first two possesions, and have any type of rythm. The first half we had very few running plays called period. They did not have to worry about the run at all. And that wasn't just because the running game didn't get off the ground. Most of it was because you can't run a back 5 times and expect him to light the world on fire. The worst position you want your offense in is a position where the d just pins back their ears and goes at the QB. WE created that with the play calling. When we did run, we took lucky and ran him up the middle then took the power backs and ran them around the end on the few running plays we did call. The first half set the tone. Watson panics after just a few runs if not on the first run play. I think its time to quit trying to use trickery or think you are being fancy enough to fool the other team and just play football. You HAVE to run the ball or its over before it begins. I would rather loose doing the right things than to look completely incompetent on offense. Our team is better than this. JMHO
