Creativity?

I want to know why Cook isn't being used properly. Alge can catch but can't do much of anything after the catch. I've seen 2-3 balls thrown to Cook all season..the hell?

Washington should be getting more touches on the line of scrimmage, quick passes on the corner so he can turn it up field, Gage can't run like Nate.

CJ should be getting more toss sweeps instead of straight handoffs. I would ask for screen passes, but our coaching staff has consistently shown they have no clue how to draw up a screen play that gets more than 2 yards. Pathetic.

 

its been like this forever. when eddie was used up, had like 4 lingering injuries a game... run run punt. when we had lendale without CJ, we ran him like 350 times, often resulting in the infamous run run punt. now we have CJ a home run threat, and everyone knows he's running on 1st down... he doesnt thrive like that.

it would piss me off last year when we won 13 games. this year its just depressing :(

 

I agree, I was wondering if I was the only one who called the plays ,before we ran them, about 90% of the time in the third and fourth quarter. If I can call the plays(and I am not that smart) don't you think that coaches who get paid lot's of money knew our play call's? Give me some creativity and I will be happy even if we lose. I hate to lose with that generic s@$#t they run every game.

 

I agree to some extent... A draw play on 3rd and forever is going to be predictable however.

If we were to become a creative team, it wouldn't take a week for teams to realize this... I do believe the NFL is evolving, mostly the talent and some of the coaching.

 

One thing that erks me is the whole Coach Fish NFL Network interview when he said "You dont want to open against us" referring to possibly the wildcat or other gimmick plays.....not one has been ran in the regular season

 

I feel like the old Tecmo Super Bowl game's playbook is in use. 4 run plays and 4 pass plays.

Very vanilla... very predictable.

 

Giving credit where credit is due, fish won't hesititate to go for it on 4th down. It paid off quite nicely for us last year. Getting the ball in Chris Johnsons hands when the blitz is coming instead of leaving him the backfield to block for Kerry (and subsequently get pushed around by men twice his size) could burn some teams. When a QB sees a blitz coming, they tend to change the play at the line of scrimage. I very seldomly, if at all recall Kerry Collins doing this. Is this not part of our scheme?

 

As I've said before, the other teams have us figured out and unless Coach comes up with something different to throw at them, we will never again be successful. I'm sure he knows that, but knowing it and doing something about it are two very different things.
