As much as I've absolutely hated McCoy over the last couple weeks, watching the game today made me realize one thing.
It's not his fault.
It's the shit offensive system we're running. There's no rhythm, no cohesion. Everybody is off. This system they're trying to implement is either too confusing, or just too simple. Either our players aren't understanding it, or it's so simple that opposing teams can find it's weakness on three days of practice.
All this system is is a dink and dunk passing game, coupled with a "three yard and a cloud of dust" running mentality. There's no explosive plays, nothing to stretch the field. There's no imagination whatsoever in the mind of Pat "Aw shucks" Shurmer. No creativeness flowing. He's a blank shell, an empty headed shitsucker.
There's a trend developing of our offense playing like shit in the first three quarters, then turning it on late in the fourth quarter. The reason for this is: once we get into the hurry up situation, Colt's calling most of the plays from the line. He's not being fed the bland, unimaginative shite that Shurmer keeps calling week in and week out. If I see one more slant, I'm going to vomit.
Also, once we get in the hurry up situations, Colt drops into shotgun, where he seems infinitely more comfortable.
Mangini and Co., no matter what anybody wants to say about them, realized Colt's strengths and played to them. Colt's not a Pro Set QB. He looks lost on his three and five step drops. He's uncomfortable in the pocket and his timing is off. But once he's thrown into shotgun, he looks like a completely different QB.
It's time to swallow your pride and switch the offensive system, Walrus. The WCO isn't working, or at least Shurmer's version isnt'. Get your fat ass out of the booth and onto the field during the week. Do what you did best, teach.
This is spot on. Great call.
