Hahahaha!!! A Doug Marrone offense open it up? That isn't his philosophy. So many people wanted this guy as HC. Now they have him. Run, run, run is what he is going to do. He's a dinosaur.

He said many times he wants a control the clock and tempo physical ground pounding run game...Not much to open up, well the OL needs to open up some running lanes, other than that, it's gonna be a no frills offense

agreed, maybe some of them weren't so good at tailoring the offense to the strengths of players, but your point is indeed valid

I don't think the problem is the play calling.  The problem I see is the inexplicable decline in the most basic aspects of football- blocking and tackling.  After all the padded practices, not only have we not improved, we seem to have gotten worse.

I noticed not many of our defensive players wrap up when tackling, they just throw a shoulder at the runner and hope to knock him down
