Which offensive coach? You mean the Offensive Coordinator? So he is the one who makes blocking adjustments? He changes the routes the receivers are running? He works with the backs on blitz pickups? He just does all that alone in a bubble? He charts all the plays called and their results? You use the bench? Does that mean Cassel plays in place of Brady because he is the reserve force player drilled in all the "wartime" contingency planning?
You know, your right. But your still letting him off the hook. Our coaching staff has not changed much, why did they get the job done better with Weis? Probably because beside the fact Weis could adjust his O better, he probably worked with them better. You have an extremely fair point, yet at the same time you yourself have no explanation for Daniels lack of adjustments still. It's not the other coaches job to change the gameplan, it's his.
NEM singles out one individual on the coaching staff and screeches his hatred, ignoring the fact that there is an entire offensive staff working on making adjustments. While people are complaining about the offensive coordinator, he is standing on the sideline looking at his play sheet and choosing the next play, he shouldn't be looking at the one being run because he needs to get the call in early enough for the team to line up and allow Brady to survey the defense. Just like in war, a General or Admiral uses a staff who are all working on the problems as they develop, often making decisions and implementing them before informing the General, if he ever is informed.
First off, a O coordinator should see the field. A team has almsot half a minute to run one play, that's plenty of time to call a play. Look, a D isn't gonna change on every play. A defense will attack you, you as an offensive coordinator use the bench to COMMUNICATE with your offense, and change the game plan. He dosent have to change it up every play, just know how to attack the defense.
Sunday the Patriots used 6 WRs, 4 RB/FBs, and 2 TEs in a passing attack - who coordinated the personnel changes? Dierdoof may not be the brightest bulb doing color commentary, but he has spent time on a football field and when he comments about the job the receiver's coach is doing shuttling substitutions in and out he just might know what was going on.[/QUOTE[
Did I say our O was bad in Jax? Not at all. But a few games dosent make him good.
That much maligned Offensive Coordinator isn't in the O-line huddle pointing out defensive alignments on the in-game photographs, and he isn't huddled with the WRs discussing routes, jamming, and coverages. If nobody's "home" while you are looking for an Offensive Coordinator to lynch, it's because the entire offensive staff put together and trained by the Head Coach are doing the adjustments and I think NEM and anybody else complaining about the Offensive Coordinator's in-game adjustments are speaking from blind ignorance or willful malice.
Ok, but all a QB does is call different coverages. He rarely calls an audible to change the play, and make no buts about it, I'm not piling on McDaniels. What I am doing however, is blaming the offense for causing us games. Brady is certainly part of it. But STILL, you continue to ignore that McDaniel's job is to come up with a good attack. He sits the O on the bench, and he tells them. If need be, he has liuke 15 minutes in halftime to do this. To talk to the whole offense, that's not hard to communicate to your starters.
Charlie Weis is suddenly and mysteriously being lauded for his play calling and in-game adjustments, something that rarely occured while he was here. I suppose Tom Brady is a tool of the coaching staff when he publicly called out the team telling them they should stop free-lancing and start listening to what the coach was saying - and he didn't mean just the Head Coach.
Rarely occurred? Where the hell have you been? After the Philly game, after so many games, you heard the Boston press applaud Weis for the right in-game adjustments. At the same time, you and I know nothing about that. Are players ******* up themselves, or is McDaniels calling the wrong play? We don't know.
This club is 11-4 and in the Playoffs, thanks as much to the Offensive Coordinator as anybody else on this TEAM. NEM is a troll, and you sir can't even describe to me a simplified version of the process for making an "in-game adjustment." You can't even articulate the title of the "offensive coach" whose "freaking job" is in-game adjustments as you perceive it. Just like war, arm chair generals rant and rave from a safe distance - "to the rear harch!"
This club is 11-4, mostly due to the defense. The offense has had many halfs where they amounted to nothing. I've explained it, your just ignoring it now.
