People forget last year we were praising DeFilippo early in the season too. Also, the guy gets so much hate around here when he built that offense for Foles, not Minshew.
Gruden doesn't really look like an upgrade, they are about the same.

I think the Washington firing broke him.

I mean what OC in their right mind would have a RB that sees 40% of the snaps only get 6 carries the entire season. You are basically telling  the defense to defend the pass whenever Thompson is on the field.

And people wonder why Minshew hasn't looked as sharp. He is constantly trying to throw against a defense that already knows what to defend against.

It's a wonder Minshew has been able to do what he has with an OC that is undermining his ability to make plays throwing the ball due to his incompetence.

He is making Wash look like the best coordinator on the team.

Unbelievable.

I disagree.  Go back and watch the Houston game.  They were loading up against the run and daring us to throw it.  They knew they had been gashed by the run all year and they knew we had been running it well.  They schemed to take it away from us more than we gave up on it.

I am by no means a Gruden apologist.  That 4th down Wildcat run-pass option was absolutely disgraceful... I 100% agree with you on that.  But for the most part, they just shut our run down and forced us to move on from it.  You can argue we moved away from it too early, but I was not screaming at the TV to run the damn ball in the 2nd half. It wasn't working.
