Was listening to the Chuck Oliver show this morning and he had Chris Landry on. Landry is really good at his analysis. Former NFL scout on Belichiks staff. Anyways, they were talking about a team (I’m withholding their name for now) and I heard comments from Chris that I have heard verbatim on this board regarding our Jackets. I’ll give quotes of his below. Can you guess who is describing?
1. They don’t have a sophisticated enough passing game. They need a true dual threat QB to make their system work. People say all the time it’s a high school offense and they are right. But it’s effective as any offense when they have the right pieces in place.
2. They need better play on the offensive line. They are a bit of a mess up front right now which is surprising given the experience of the guys they have up there. But a dual threat QB who can take what the defense if giving them can help take pressure off the poor offensive line play.
3. The thing about xxx football is the inconsistency. One year they can upset xxx and look great, then the next year or two go 8-4. That fanbase will not accept that long term. There has to be consistency for this to work.
4. They are wasting a really good defense. A talented defense. (We can’t say this unfortunately)
5. When things aren’t going well coach xxx takes over because that’s his offense and he takes responsibility for it. But he doesn’t understand the passing game. He is running a QB that isn’t fit to maximize the the offense to what it’s supposed to be. You have to run and pass. If you aren’t a major threat to run it, half the offense is limited. You have a coach who doesn’t understand a sophisticated passing game running a QB whose strength is passing. It’s not working.
Some of that is paraphrased and not exact, but who is Chris describing? And man does it sound like us?
