I'm not ready to can Gus just yet. It's only the 2nd season folks, get a grip! Yes, we've been led to believe that the team was on an upward trend, that things would not be quite so dismal this season....we were mislead in thinking this. A team lives or dies by the action of it's offensive line. Even the defense lives or dies by the action of the offensive line because (as we all know now too well...) if the defense is on the field too much they get gassed! A decent offensive line will make a mediocre quarterback look pretty good; but a bad o-line will make a mediocre quarterback look awful. This wasn't adequately addressed in the draft/fa and we're paying for it now... Seriously, do you really want to put our rookie quarterback at the mercy of this o-line? He could easily end up hurt like Allen Hurns...

I'm not happy with Jedd Fisch's play calling; but, like Gus, I'm not ready to give up on him as an offensive coordinator... yet. Face it folks, our o-line plays like (bad word removed)! Without a decent line, there's very little anyone can do with our offense. That being said, Jedd needs to stop wasting downs trying to run Gerhardt. We don't have a line to facilitate a runner likeToby this year! He should only be on the field for special situations like 1 and goal... which is to say he needn't be on the field much at all this season. We should be running DRob instead; he's fast enough to do the outside runs and has the moves. I don't know why Jedd keeps trying Toby; it's like trying to put a square peg in a round hole.


Anyway, I hope for some improvement as the season progresses. We are getting more sacks. Of course in this past game the 'skins set a new franchises record for the most quarterback sacks. great. If we don't show significant improvement by the *end* of the season, then maybe it's legitimately time to get angry. (b. anger had two poor punts in this game also; an all-around bad showing from the Jaguars) way to get your team ready Gus...
