You know I like to think the coaches are smart enough to do that, but the problem is the opposing DC will figure out what they're doing and create a workaround.Not players, but for me, it all comes down to Nick Caley and Cole Popvich. The whole offense is basically sitting in their laps right now.
OL getting steamrolled? Scheme to their strengths. Mix it up so the defense doesn’t get comfy, use different formations, throw in some motion, keep opponents guessing.
WRs not getting separation? Design/scheme routes based on time to throw, not some dream of a consistent 3 to 5 second pocket...that doesn’t exist.
QB a little shaky? Script some confidence throws. Get him in rhythm before asking him to launch missiles into tight windows.
WRs and TEs dropping passes? Someone find the old school stickum jar (kidding).
TEs not blocking? Give them a one-way flight to the Eastern Antarctic Plateau, non-refundable (again, kidding).
Execution matters, but the onus is on Caley and Popvich to put these guys in position to have the best chance to succeed.
Yep. It all goes the way to Run & Shoot heaven. But I like this concept of a swarm O and D. Just play hard, relentless football. No gimmicks. BTW is it me or does TC not capture as much attention as it used to? Texans web seems to be three days late reporting news from the present one. Makes it worse when you live in Cowboy country.You know I like to think the coaches are smart enough to do that, but the problem is the opposing DC will figure out what they're doing and create a workaround.
Back to square 1.
So it comes down to a quality line as well as smart schemes - especially against quality Dlines.

He can wear his cap anyway he wants as long as these guys are on their details and technique. I am so tired of a sloppy and predictable offense. He can even put a pencil in his ear, just make these guys look nasty and well coached. This team can be special if he is elite. Do you always go backwards, or just when it is time to get serious?
Forgot that Coach Caley is a backward cap guy, like me.![]()
I've been backwards cap since sandlot baseball at 7 years old. Copied that from an older kid in the neighborhood.Do you always go backwards, or just when it is time to get serious?

Kardashians have nothing on Tae's ass! Dude has a base for power

Chubb is not looking like the back he used to be; and Woody Marks is looking good. Music to my ears. I've been on the Marks' band wagon since the draft.
Looks like he might have a larger role in this offense than I anticipated.Chubb is not looking like the back he used to be; and Woody Marks is looking good. Music to my ears. I've been on the Marks' band wagon since the draft.
Hopefully Tunsil giving Will Anderson some tips on pass rushing last year, will pay off in the opposite way!
Going on Nick's draft record, O-line is a clear deficient area for drafting. Fingers crossed on Ersery. I also think there are moments he out smarts himself trying to trade back, trade up etc.I love Metchie the person. Hes overcome a lot and is just the best of the best as a person.
But i never liked the pick. Unlike others who claimed his magic power was getting open, i wasnt that impressed with that part of his game, or any other part. To me he was just ok. 4th rounder. Did some things well, but nothing really stood out as special to me. Compounding the error was trading up in the 2nd round to get him.
Add this to Juice, Green, and likely Fischer and Nick’s draft record is fair but far less than stellar.
That may change now that we're going more in the "New England" direction on offense. A system Nick is more familiar with & has more experience evaluating those players.Going on Nick's draft record, O-line is a clear deficient area for drafting.
When I say CB3 I mean someone who can play instead of Stingley and Lassiter on the outside. I indeed hope that can be Jaylin Smith but it excludes guys like Myles Bryant who are essentially slot only corners at this point in by heir careers.They addressed the position by using a top 100 pick on it with Jaylin Smith. They also added Ronald Darby as the vet Jeff Okudah addition but it didn’t work out. Now they have also thrown some lottery tickets at the position in Myles Bryant, Damon Arnette, and now Arthur Maulet.
I’d say they value CB depth fairly high. They also added Tremon Smith, who is a ST ace but an upgrade at CB also over the guy he’s essentially replacing (Boyd).
