BOB never had control over anything but the roster he was given. Supposedly there was boardroom type thing when it came to personnel. But BOB stopped going to the meetings when it became obvious that his wishes weren't going to be carried out. It's the reason BOB's survived as long as he has.
Exactly and if he’s attending personnel meetings and talking about handing out draft picks like Halloween candy, Ricky had every right to ignore the nonsense.Excuses.
And if this is true, he's more worse of an HC than I already thought.
Excuses.

That's typically the scenario when the team has a porous OL, TE's that can't block or chip, and receivers that can't break coverage. If Watson breaks out of the pocket, it generally buys the receivers time to finally outrun the coverage.....hence the "OB ALL OR NOTHING OFFENSE".
Watson is slow on reads. Oline has no clue on pass protection. Wrs dont get separation.
It's the perfect storm for sub .500.
Been that way for 4+ years...
So if they finish 9-7 again that would be on coaching?
I think I’d prefer Chip Kelly to OB. This team is moribund.How long did Chip Kelly last as a HC in the NFL? And how long did it take the Eagles to right the ship and then win a SB?
We agree on their ineptitude .... just not where the blame lies.
The same ineptitude has been there for going on 7 years now. I don’t know why anyone would think it lies anywhere but the one who’s been here for the duration.
OB is 24-15 with Watson. 28-31 without him.
If the Oline can't handle the vanilla defenses of the first 2 weeks how are they gonna handle the blitz heavy Steelers?
IMHO. For this season, when it comes to blame, I think it's a combination of the OL(30%), Watson (25%) and O'Brien (45%). In previous seasons, I could give Watson an equal or greater percentage than the OL. However, the OL play has been so bad, they have to share the blame and until they start playing better, I don't know how Watson can get a greater share of the blame.We agree on their ineptitude .... just not where the blame lies.

I'm not even going to blame the defense because like Denny Green would say, "TheBearsdefense is what we thought they were"
They've been mauled at the line of scrimmage two weeks in a row. Unless they've improved dramatically over one week and are prepared (by Devlin) to not only take a punch in the mouth but punch back, they're not coming out of this game intact. Which is a problem because they have zero depth on that o-line.If the Oline can't handle the vanilla defenses of the first 2 weeks how are they gonna handle the blitz heavy Steelers?
Not to mention the QB being able to identify where the blitz is coming from and set the protections to counter the blitzes.

Okay. I'll play. This is what's happening consistently. Tell us what protection should the QB call to counter this:Not to mention the QB being able to identify where the blitz is coming from and set the protections to counter the blitzes.

Exactly!! The narrative that it's simply blitz pickup and QB failing to call protection is misleading. Yes, there are those plays. However, the OL is constantly giving up pressure against straight 3 and 4 men rushes or stunts. What protection do you call against a stunt or 4 man rush?That wasn't a blitz

Again. The defense shows blitz, they back out and basically a 3 man rush and Tunsil is in Watson's hip pocket and passing lane. Also, look at the top of the screen. Instead of the TE chipping a DB and then releasing. I can go on and on but it doesn't matter. Excuses, right?
Paul Alexander is a former OL coach. His point on the play is technique or lack of technique. Fulton didn't get beat physically, his technique put him at a disadvantage. I would hope they would have gone over how to play the best pass rusher on the Chiefs. My question, is that a player making a mental error or coaching.Fulton is not a bad player. Just another OL who came here and got ruined.
Good point. Still I think our defense will start out keeping the score respectable but with a lot of short drives by the offense the defense will tire and get despondent and the Steelers will put the game away.A pass rush isn’t going to matter much if you’re getting gutted on the ground.

I know all OL makes mistake. I know all sacks are not on them. However, how can anyone expect a QB to stand in the pocket and make reads when this is constantly happening? Get improve OL play and then we can talk about the QB and WRs.
There's always Greg Mancz on the PS.They've been mauled at the line of scrimmage two weeks in a row.

You must not be watching the game. Their both not very good at their jobs and wont be getting better. Only 1 is making 160 million which is a team wrecking contract.
The 4-12 record when DW4 got hurt skews this record. The OL was so bad that yr they went through something like 4 QB's that yr.
A small Watson NFL.com sample size for 2020, so I'm not going to try to make any solid conclusions. But if these continue as longer term trends, they will need to be looked at more carefully. The closer to the opponent's side of field/goal line, the significantly lower the pass completion rate. The same pattern is seen in last 2 minutes of halves.

Be interesting to see how this compares to others
A smaller field means less to defend. I suspect success across the board would diminish. Still, I think the stench of poor coaching is making its mark.
Speed receivers that aren’t getting separation. I wonder why that is? A receiver not having problems getting separation, in his brand new system, is Hopkins. Another is Chase Claypool. He’s up next for the Texans. Maybe he and JuJu can show us what it’s supposed to look like.Exactly. Also, the smaller field offsets the speed advantage of the 4.3 WRs. It's now up to the OC to use the big, athletic TEs to "box out" smaller DBs or scheme the speedy WRs open for them to outrun defenders like the Chiefs did on one of Hill's TDs.
I read "need more TEs" and the only thing I could think of is they need more cowbells. So, let's take a break before the Steelers' game and have a laugh. I could see O'Brien in the Christopher Walken role and Tim Kelly in the Will Ferrell role. "I got a fever and the only prescription is a A gap run."What the Texans need are more TEs.

OB is 24-15 with Watson. 28-31 without him.
Even if you think Watson is part of the problem, the HC is still the one constant thing that's been a problem.Sure , Watson is better than any of the crap QB's OB had prior those guys were below average .... You could plug in just about any QB and get pretty much the same results.
But when you break down his game , I just don't see an elite QB. I see a guy who makes enough big plays to beat mediocre teams but not one that can sustain drives and beat the better teams. Broken plays / off script stuff is where this offense does its damage.
I don't see a guy who can eliminate his own mistakes and carry this team , not when he's made the same mistakes over and over again , misdiagnosing potential rushers , hanging onto the ball far too long , not seeing or passing over wide open targets , locking onto the first read .... forcing the ball down field rather than take the easy yards.
You guy's cant see Watson for what he is because of OB's ineptitude .... I see both of them as equal contributors - part of the problem.
Even if you think Watson is part of the problem, the HC is still the one constant thing that's been a problem.
So the most logical choice is to get a new HC; especially when the QB has a no-trade clause.

8 defenders at the line of scrimmage potentially blitzing and it looks like the quickest cutting route down field is 15 yards? That's a serious scheme flaw.
Where's the hot route?
