Coaching did not cost us the game, but come on. Putting in Whitmer to replace Casey on the first drive of the second half, in the redzone was down right P and GDL like with McCummings.
Sometimes this is what makes the boneyard tough to read. There were decisions in that game that the board would have skewered P for. I'm all in with Diaco, think he can get the job done here big time. The team looked night and day better conditioned than they did opening night a year ago.
My only frustration really comes down to the use of Whitmer. I'm sure he is a great kid, but he still has the same tendency to keep dropping back further in the pocket at the first sign of pressure. That in turn makes the oline look worse as the ends usually disengage from their blockers completely and all hell breaks loose in the pocket.
Going back to the press conference the rotating qb nonsense felt like Coach was trying not to hurt feelings. I would prefer he chose one guy and only replaced him due to ineffectiveness but like said I'm all in. Just hard not to question the sanity of the rotating qbs when neither is a dual threat.
