The offensive malaise has grown so deep that Jim Fassel yesterday announced he's going to start talking to himself.
Last season, following a dreary loss to the Eagles, Fassel wrested the play-calling duties away from offensive coordinator Sean Payton and assumed those duties himself. This year, heading into Sunday's game against the Eagles in a sad-but-true battle to escape the NFC East basement, Fassel is again promising changes. He'll remain as the play-caller but will adopt a new approach that he says may be subtle on the outside but should trigger a resurgence in a sagging, turnover-prone attack.
"There's no alternatives," Fassel said. "Last year was different. I was making suggestions to change and the changes weren't being made, so I just grabbed it. This year I'm sitting there and I'm going to make the suggestions to myself, if you will, and change it."
