    Playcalling and Execution

    It's hard for EJ to be successful when on 1st down, we run CJ from a flat-footed start right up the middle, on 2nd down, run a flat-footed CJ either to the left or right for again no gain, and on 3rd, EJ HAS to pass.

    The playcalling to me is way too predictable right now. Teams are filling up the box and instead of calling an audible, we run right into the strongest part of the defense. The majority of the time when you see CJ to the left of EJ, you know its a run to the right and vice versa. How many times did the Jets simply shift a LB over to the strongside to create an matchup in their favor? We didn't bother to change anything. It's stupid, predictable, and there's no way we're going to be consistently successful until we change it. I'm having flashbacks of Gailey not letting Fitz change the play.

    Also, EJ has to give the WRs a chance on 3rd and long, that we seem to always find ourselves in. I'm not too sure what's going through his head when he throws the ball about as high as he can to the sideline. There's about a .003% chance of completion.

    I agree. The play calling is terrible.

      I wonder if they allow EJ to audible at the LOS. If not ,how come? He's not ready?

        Where have all the effective quick swing passes to the RB's and slants to the WR's gone ? I saw a ton of them in camp/pre-season and they have vanished from the playbook.

        Why?

          Very true, Train.

          I would think the goal should be to get Spiller the ball in open space, and let him work his magic.

          As opposed to running him into the pile.

            When Hackett said he was giving Spiller the ball until he threw up it wasn't because of exhaustion. It was because of the horrible running lanes and play calling.

              I honestly think that Hackett thinks if he just meets his analytic # of runs per game to win, he will win. He's put no emphasis on his game planning or designing plays to beat particular defenses. Pettine has done a fantastic job of game planning. Hackett is the new Wanny.
              Also, the 24/7 no huddle has to go. There are times you run the clock. A good coach should know this.

                You mean another perfect example of right before halftime against the Jets? The Bills get the ball back with just under 2 minutes to go and can't even make it the last drive of the half or make them use all of their timeouts? They go 3 and out in less then a minute and give the Jets the ball back which leads to another FG going into halftime. They even left them with another timeout and only needed to use one other one to get the ball back 50 seconds later. Just another example of the horrible clock management by this team.

                  That drove me nuts. At least on 3rd and long have enough sense to run some time off the clock.

                    When we got the ball with about 110 seconds left I told my dad that the Jets will get the ball back with enough time to still have a good chance to score before halftime. We didn't even make them use both of the timeouts they had left and still only ran about 50 seconds off the clock. It was pretty pathetic.

                        I get the impression Hackett buys into his own hubris as a 33 y/o upjumped OC.

                        Some of his play-calling on 3rd down is mind-boggling.

                        Come on, dude, you were calling bad plays at Syracuse last year for a reason.

                          Rookie qb - they weren't worried. What ya do is flood the flat a couple of times in a row. Get the D thinking, get them scratching their heads over those sideline still photos the camera crews like to show.

                          It's like a canny boxer that tosses a lot of left or right jabs into space. Set 'em up.

                            I didn't like the idea of a 33 year old OC jumping straight from college right into an NFL OC position. He should've started off as a QB coach and hiring an experienced OC for now would've been the better option.

                            Maybe Ralph was too cheap to pay for a real OC or maybe Marrone was too gullible or insecure to hire somebody with experience. My guess it was probably a little of each. Either way this is still Marrone's offense and his hands are on it. I highly doubt he lets a 33 year old Hackett have free reigns with the game plan, play calling and in-game adjustments. If this doesn't work out then it's just as much Marrone's fault.

                              I blame Marrone for this hire.
