    Mr. Dennison

    By my count, I saw one misdirection play the whole game...and before the last drive, a single pass attempt over 15 yards. What it lacked in imagination, it made up for it in...nothing.

    Do your career a favor, get Eric Wood's copy of last year's playbook and use it.

    For THIS team..it worked. Most of the guys are still there...they'll remember it.

    And they scored points with it.

    Anthony Lynn adopted it last year and it worked for him..he got a HC job out of the deal.

    Or, you can continue to put a square peg in a round hole and suffer the fate of Rex Ryan (and you're not getting a color analyst job).

    Dump the ego, use what works.

    Outside of the final drive, especially the final play call, he was a dumpster fire.

    It doesn't help when your QB runs on 50% of called pass plays.

    Don't care about the imagination, care about the play calls putting our players in a position to move the ball which it did. It was literally the only positive to come out of the offense today.

    Re: Mr. Dennison

    Took a while to get an OC, this dude was bottom of the barrel, we settled on him more than anything. D is looking sharp because we have good coaches, not the case on O, you can see it. Why is it so hard to scheme up some easy yards.

    We're calling shovel tosses on 4th and 2 and asking Shady to make multiple guys miss. I hate using fullback as well, not a fan and I don't see that changing.

    To me at least, it was imagination that put players in a position to move the ball.

    Pretty sure if you re-watch the game you're going to see plenty of plays where multiple receivers were running routes longer than 15 yards.

    And checks down for 1 or 2 yards on 40%.

    Gee I wonder why? Who wants to risk their reputation with TT as their QB?

    Re: Mr. Dennison

    Top 10 offense with a dumpster fire D. We fixed the D. And broke the O.

    How many times do we have to keep doing this? We had a weird kitschy offense that was effective at scoring points, with spare parts, why change? Ego.

    I didn't but the ball never went down the field so we wouldn't have. The all 22 will be interesting to see this week.

    Seeing as how most teams that are hiring OCs are perennial losers, and perennial losers don't have franchise QBs, then they're risking their "reputation" no matter where they go.

    At least Tyrod led two top 10 DVOA offenses.

    Re: Mr. Dennison

    How is today the fault of Dennison?

    The offense is run oriented, because the QB is flat out garbage, so since the running game didn't work, the offense was stagnant. Pretty simple.

    Every team in the league should just put 8 in the box, their fastest LB as the spy and dare that QB to make NFL caliber throws - which it should be painfully obvious to everyone on this board and around the league by now that he simply cannot or won't do.
