I swear Flip is the only OC in team history that lets our QB throw it downfield. Was so tired of the dunk and dunk passes and never stretching the field.

It's a good question.
There are a few answer attempts
- DeFilippo is still figuring out his offensive roster within his scheme to a degree (but it's time for eval to be over now)
- Watching all of Fournette's runs from Thursday, on all but four of them he was totally doomed by his o-line - he's not blameless - but it was ugly up front in that game. Really ugly.
- There needs to be a come-to-Jesus sit down between Flip, Marrone, and Warhop to figure out some run-blocking changes. What they are doing is NOT working.
- I think it's only a matter of time before Flip sees the need to spell 27 and give defenses a different look out of the backfield (I hope that time is less than 8 days)

I hope your're right because it leaves me completely baffled. Watching our run game reminds me of a 12-year-old playing a video game; how can the OC of a professional sports team be so utterly obtuse? Furthermore, why is he allowed to continue to do that? Shouldn't Marrone, at some point, suggest to Flip that, maybe, um, you know, try something else? It's maddening.

Not a knock against Minshew, but I mustache you a question: how many sixth-round QBs can you think of that have ended their rookie season by starting 15 games, completing 70% of their passes and keeping their INTs in the single digits? I want it to happen, but especially in an offense as aggressive as Flip's, there will come a point at which defenses either figure out how to slow Minshew down or figure out how to slow the offense down.
But yeah, maybe 6-10 is a bit low if Minshew holds up and we find a running back.
I mustache you a question in return good sir! Why must you obsess over Marrone so hard? We just beat the hated tittians, embarrased them in front of the nation even. Why must every post of yours come back to firing the coach, such that you create implausible negative scenarios to have a reason to do so? This team could easily be 5 and 3 when Foles is ready and we have an honest to diety controversy, why the need to fixate on the coach?

Definitely not true.

Me too.
Having seen Minshew for three weeks now and taking note of his ball placement, I think that TE seam route will not be a great challenge for him to drop in accurately. DeFilippo said in preseason he wants to move Oliver all over the formation to create mismatches. This could add up to some big chunk yardage plays if the rook can get healthy.

I think we should switch to a zone-blocking scheme for running the ball. It's painfully obvious we don't have the requisite power in our Guards to run power/gap schemes (which sucks because that plays directly to Fournettes strengths). We're going to have to manufacture production in the run game and I think a change in approach as far as philosophy may yield results. Fournette was actually really good in college at reading outside zone plays, just make one cut and go.
Everyone that's blaming fournette is putting the cart before the horse. Norwell got WHIPPED by the Tacks front 7, Fournette was hit in the backfield as soon as he took the handoff on about half the running plays we ran, the other times the crease the play was designed to create on power-O was either miniscule or non-existant ... we just dont blow anyone off the ball, if we can't move them off the line of scrimmage we can't call gap plays.
