It's been a problem since the team has existed. Exotic smash mouth. Fisher ball. For some reason our offense literally never evolves.
We had the most lethal play action in the NFL when art was OC. To not take advantage of that is a travesty.
I added one.
I’ll believe that when I see it.
Screen pass incomplete is the best I can hope for as a screen pass result.
Why have we never had a screen game? I don't get it
Downing and his play calling= Tanney ints and poor play. This thread is the truth guy is awful, Tom Brady would look very good here. When they know what you are doing every play in this league you are done, especially with average qb
Meant to say Brady would not look good here. Tanney was fine or ok until Downing period
run left, run right, throw to NWI. --- hand off to Luke Stocker at the goal line.........
revolutionary.
revolutionary.
Did with CJ2K, not sure what happened.
Our screen game & check downs were deadly then -- giving us many avenues to attack with the actual run.
But we gave up drafting scat backs --- we either sign veterans long past what minor prime they had (McCluster) or draft twitch streamers from the Appalachian Mountains.......
that literally needs to change this year. We need to draft a 3rd down/pass catching RB at some point.
Honestly we need 2 pass catchers and 1 bruiser (DH) -- Washington has been the team at the RB position we should at least to try sample from a check down stand point.... always having 3 or 4 good RBs out of the backfield.
To be fair, a couple of BDH’s biggest plays have been screens, just seems we are bad at em.
There were at least 25 play action plays this season where we either got sacked or had to check down and someone in the game day thread complained about that very play and how we need to run a play action play and look down the field.
Yep, the play he blew up Darius Leonard was a screen for about 25 yards.
Downing has had two pretty bad stints at OC. Of course not everything was his fault, but you rarely have to make excuses for good coaches. I'm hoping the offensive hire Vrabel made has the same impact that Schwartz did, because I saw no reason to expect anything better despite a (hopefully) better receiving group
Vrabel's complacency at OC has been disappointing. He convinced LaFluer to come work with much less than he has now. We need someone who's going to get the ball to Brown 10 times per game instead of the embarrassingly low number of touches he currently gets. Who can utilize what Tannehill is very good at- delivering the ball with consistent timing/accuracy and running-and put him in fewer positions to take sacks or fit the ball into a non-existent window.
Vrabel's complacency at OC is disappointing. LaFluer left LA to come work with a lot less than what we have now. Quality coaches should be lining up for what should be an easy audition for HC for another team. We are absolutely squandering Brown's ability and potential desire to stay at a team where he sees 5 touches per game.
HUH? first off it is an NFL HC job, only 32 of those. He had in GB arguably the best QB in the NFL, a really good running back and a legit Superstar WR. the went to the NFC Championship game. I dont disagree about the Titans OC but to say GB had alot less is silly.
Just from the top of my head, the wildcat was pivotal in two wins alone in the 2020 season. Against the against the Texans in OT and against Baltimore in the playoffs when we were heavy underdogs.

"Todd Downing’s offense the most predictable in the NFL"
meanwhile some of y'all on here are of the mindest "you picked a funny way to say the MOST POWERFUL OFFENSE"..... fess up, which ones are you lol..
I have a feeling Vrabel is going to end up firing Downing -- which is why he signed that passing game coordinator.....
I imagine the plan was the same when Vrabel brought in Schwartz last year, because he was setting up insurance in case he had to fire Bowen.
