Minshew is doing fine considering his coordinator is starting to look incompetent and the rest of the league is picking up on this.

I hear you complaining about the number of runs, but our backs weren't getting a ton of yards today when we did run it.  The Texans YPC was over 2 yards better than ours, they only ran it 22 times, and were ahead the majority of the game.

You can't always blame the coach every time Minshew looks pedestrian.  At some point, if you have a franchise QB, he has got to make some plays for you.  He looked pretty hesitant today.

We called 17 run plays against the worst rushing defense in the league. Only 14 carries by Robinson. We were only down by 3 points in the half.

Competent OC's don't give up on the run in a close game even if they get a few stops, especially against the worst rushing defense in the league. That's Football 101. You also don't sit your best back when you are first and goal from the 6.

There is no excuse for Gruden. That is pure incompetence. You can't blame Minshew for that.
