The defense is often out of position and seems confused on coverage. All I know is Poz is gone and Jack calls the sets. Why not give that responsibility to someone else for the remainers of the season? Hubris - mouth of the defense needs to shut it up for the remainer of the season. Blake consistently takes an easy pass to the safety valve instead of throwing downfield. You may not see it on TV, but receivers come open late down field often enough to have made many games closer. It seems a mental thing. I don't know if we have a better option at QB, but the OC can definately begin to craft a plan that forces the ball down the field. Might as well do it now and see what happens. No change - the OC needs to be gone. Give the defensive responsibility to someone else, shut down the talk, game plan for downfield throws.

I think they've ruined Blake with the over-emphasis on not making a mistake.  Of course, he does make mistakes.  But they've gone overboard.  So if you want him to be safe with the ball above all, you can't bust his chops for not taking any chances.  As long as we have a good running threat, I don't think it's a bad thing to work the short pass game with a handful of downfield stuff.  I would like to see more rpo, though.
