Message: [QUOTE="Nostical, post: 4773678, member: 749"] The problem with a defensive minded HC like Mora is deferring too often to his OC during critical game moments, rather than being comfortable providing a level of offensive insight. On that 4th and 1 late in the game, when they called time out and brought in Stafford, the call from Charlton was to try and replicate the NCSt game surprise pass from Fagnano to #97. So did Mora simply rubber stamp the call, concurring that rolling out Roberson, who has accuracy issues on the run, to throw a touch pass to 300 lb Stafford was the wisest choice? (And BTW, as Stafford ran to the outside he was double covered—you think that during that time out, BC, who had watched the NC St tape, didn’t warn its defense?) So did Mora bring any insight into the play call discussion? Did he perhaps suggest that if Charlton thought BC would gang up to stop the Stafford dive, a more deceptive play might be having Stafford crash into the line while having the QB hand it to the trailing back Edwards to cut to the outside? Look, I realize that if you analyze every play the successful ones have lots of fathers while those that don’t are orphans, but blindly trusting the play calling of our OC is one of the biggest failures of Mora’s tenure.
