I’ve long since felt that the center positon was undervalued. I really hope you’re wrong about mcgovern not being good enough. Because there’s a chance that we need him to play a guard spot because AVT gets moved to a tackle spot due to incompetence
If dallas plays the way they did in NY, I fear for ZW health. They going to come after him and with his inability - it seems - to get rid of the ball quickly, I feel he will be toast. hope not but... having said that, Hac needs to devise a "up tempo" quick passing game coupled with running to the right... most of the yards last week, I believe, were on AVT/Becton's side of the OL. Like Vilma said, put a TE on the side and keep running, they will eventually become tired and we should have success. Finally, I am sick and tired of the HC's used car salesmen spiel regarding ZW and his improvement. Since your this D guru, spend some time with him reviewing D configurations (like BB did with Tom) and maybe he can start to identify D and what they are attempting to do and also live up to your pie in the sky accolades. Oh yea, STFU and get your team ready to play.... Sorry for the rant folks... tired of the talk.
This is exactly what they did, as evidenced by the fact Hardmann played one snap. Rodgers wanted a lot of 3 wide looks, and that gameplan shifted immediately when Zach came in. Our OC coached one game in which our starting savior QB lasted 4 plays and you really want to start blasting game plans? Are we really not better than this?
I watched the Giants Cowboys highlights, and I know it's just the highlights, but from what I saw, the Giants got crushed b/c they made a LOT of mistakes: fumbles, missed/blocked FGs, bad interceptions. In the highlights, the Cowboys D didn't look so dominant.
How do you know what Rodgers did and didn’t want? The gameplan should’ve been to run and setup play-action. Breece rips off a 26 yard run to start the game and then we get in shotgun and run 4 straight pass plays in spread looks. It wasn’t news to Hackett that the offensive line is probably shaky and certainly will be when Brown’s been healthy for a week/with all the energy in that building. My thread wasn’t intended to say we need to change coordinators, merely that we need to adjust the gameplan to the offensive line struggles. Even in the second and third quarter we would run the ball on first down and then immediately jump back into shotgun with 3 or 4 wide or the dreaded 5 receiver set. You’re not helping your own line and you’re telegraphing run/pass.
most of our success on offense came off 2 TE sets running behind the right side of the line (AVT, becton, and a TE) the fact we didn't play action at all or attempt any passes to seal the game in the red zone is embarrassing. it was run, run, run or run, run, 3rd and long incomplete most of the game. the CS didn't trust zach
I'd take it a step further and implement an option offense. Zach is a good-enough runner. Lots of run options with the occasional bomb thrown in to make use of his arm and keep the defense honest. Another benefit of the bombs is they're basically punts if/when some of them get intercepted.
