Change the OC or the QB

No idea why this is such a hard concept for people to understand. We were 21 point underdogs, but fire the coach since we lost. Ok makes sense.

I think folks understand. What they don't understand is why we continue the same things over and over that don't work.

And when something does work like sending Newsome down the seam, we never come back to it.

Actually we gave them a game for five minutes. Our offense took the first half off again, 3 points.
 
I'll only say this. 27 points is plenty to win. The biggest issue this year has been on D, at least since the Navy game. Against Maine, yes, the offense stunk. Let a lot of points out there against Navy too. But Syracuse and USF are on the D. People who don't think the offense has adjusted, I don't know what you're watching. The one legit criticism is stagnant offense early in the game. I think the early game scripted plays may be too predictable.
 
.-.
The fact that we have no running game doesn't help Sherriffs either. While were at it how about we get eye exams for Ron Johnson and Arkeel Newsome. I don't know how many time I have seen a blitzer run by either one of those two without them noticing. We really miss the days when we had a quality full back like Dion Anderson or Anthony Sherman. This offensive line would look a lot better with either one of those two in the backfield.

As long as we're throwing crap against the wall...

I wonder if it might have made sense to work on shifting a guy like Tommy Myers into the backfield on certain passing downs to pick up an inside blitz or even as a short yardage runner/blocker. Don't know if he has those skills but we really miss a strong blocker/runner/pass catcher who takes 2 guys to tackle as a safety valve.

Seems like these TE guys are too tall and not agile enough to do some on the blocking required. Need a 6'1" 245 lb. kid who knocks LB's back and can cut off slanting linemen. Someone like Walsh.

Agreed, but the way this team is built (put the team on the D's back for the most part)... It's a methodical team... grind out til the end, no matter what happens in the beginning. It's a problem. and we all know when the opposing team has a QB that has the ability to run with the football and throw it, we dig HUGE holes for ourselves... 3 of the 4 losses clearly showed that. So, IMO, coaching is more of a concern there.
