    The issue is that C.J. Beathard can throw the ball better than our starting QB. Has more yards than him in like 3 games.

    I agree, the talent is on the roster. It just needs the right scheme in order to be fully utilized. The issue I see early on is that the coaching staff doesn't know what they have. Obviously Butler doesn't need to be in press coverage (even though the FO paid him like he could). It seems as though the CB's need to play more zone and tackle than man 1 press. What is more puzzling is the lack of run D. this team, with pretty much the same DL, was 13th in the league in rush D, now they are a sieve. Don't really know what gives in that regard.

    What is obvious is that Mariota is not a effective pocket passer. He is not accurate enough and he has minimal pocket awareness. He needs more roll outs and RPO's to be effective. He also needs dynamic WR's if the team wants to be pass oriented. But, Mariota is well suited for a run first O, which I don't think LaFleur wants to do. This is why i say LaFleur doesn't have the players on the team to run his offense. And it appears as though he can't adjust the scheme to fit the players.

    For all the hate on Exotic Smashmouth (myself included), at least we had an identity. We don't have one at all this year aside for being bland on offense and terrible line play.

    Hard to have any kind of identity when you can only get in the end zone in 3 out of 6 games.

    We went away from the RPO after Mariota was hurt. Injuries derailed the original plan, I'm sure

    Woodyard has been missed a lot more than I thought he would be. Evans has shown promise, but Woodyard has been a huge loss in the games he's missed.

    Yup. Woodyard's absence has really been felt over the last few games
