Daboll and his pathetic playcalling

  • How exactly is Daboll supposed to stop Jake Delhomme from throwing picks ? No Offensive Co-ordinator can succeed in his playcalling if his QB is throwing risky passes.

  • He limited what we can do, it did not help that all eleven guys were not executing on offense.

    We still dont have any presence of a WR who can flat out burn a defense. And that hurts!

  • massaqua goes up. splits two defenders and trots in for a td. maybe if we had a qb (when god, please?) that could withstand the heat for a millisecond and find the open receiver we'd have a chance.

  • Before we hang DaBoll High and Dry we need to realise that Tampa did have a top notch pass defense last year (top 10 in pass defense).

    Our first touchdown pass to Momass could have very easily been picked off. We were saved by the inexperience of the guy on the defensive side. Running was the best option we had and Morris seems to have had a solid draft with the defense. If you take away the interceptions then we could have won even with the "conservative " play calling. This one is more on the players than on Daboll.

    And they were ranked last in run defense as well.

    Yet Daboll calls 37 passing plays... many with a hurt QB!

    That's Daboll's fault as well.

    Yes, but unfortunately in the draft they picked up Brian Price and Gerald McCoy. Our Running was literally stuffed with us unable to open holes.

  • The reason they were able to stack the box is because their pass defense was so good, and our passing offense is anemic still. Without a legitimate deep threat, our offense will struggle all year.

    It may actually be worth it to spring for V. Jax. Building a team through the draft is all well and good, but you can't shy away from talent when it's staring you right in the face. That's a need we haven't filled, and the opportunity is there.

  • Throw the ball to you wideouts when the box ix being overrun

    a. this eleviates the goat cluster in the backfield and

    b. allows for some hungry wideout to make a play if he were able to cathch

    the ball

  • Harrison had 9 carries for 52 yards. (5.8 per carry)

    Hillis had 9 carries for 41 yards (4.6 per carry)

    Not exactly stifling run defense.

    How many times did we run the ball in the second half? Ok, they where stacking the box and stopped us on a 3 and out, guess its time to never run again. Isn't that what we all were bragging about last year? How teams stacked the box and we still ran all over them? What changed? The fact that they drafted two rookie D linemen? Gee, we better not try to run now! Ya Hillis put the ball on the ground twice, so I guess that means we stop running all together. Don't hand it to Harrison and let him do work like he did during our winning streak at the end of the year last year.

    Hey, I wonder what would happen if we ripped off a few good runs against a team that was run blitzing us... think we could fake a hand off to the running back and suck up their D and throw the ball wayyyyy down field??? NAH!

    Opposing defense getting good QB pressure stacking the box blitzing middle and forcing quick throws to often? Don't have a reciever that can get open and make plays? Maybe someone should explain to our NFL coaches how a flippin' screen pass works.

    i said (in my op and a few other posts) jake's int was his own fault and that had nothing to do with daboll. but that still doesn't excuse daboll's pathetic playcalling. i know jr highschool coaches that draw up better plays than he does. daboll's playcalling would've worked well back in the 30s, the 40s and the 50s. but that ancient crap he's calling isn't going to work in 2010.
