Quote:Players not plays.  If you go in and start tinkering at this point with the offensive scheme, that's a new system these guys will have to adjust to.  In Bortles case, I'd be concerned about that.  I would prefer to see him focusing on fixing his mechanics, and not having to digest an entirely new offensive scheme this off season.  I don't think Fisch is as big a disaster as some here do.  I think the talent he's been working with has been more of a problem.  He's not perfect, but with better talent, he could show improvement as well.  I don't think the offensive woes we're seeing now are the result of play calling.

 

Obviously at this point, we cannot prove a negative.  Meaning that we won't know how the coaching of this current staff is effecting the development and success of the team if / when a change occurs.

 

On top of that, none of us are in any of the meetings or practices, so we're not privy to the actual facts of how the coaches are approaching each player, each game, etc...

 

To me, it's clear that the defense has improved from September untill now.  That's a positive, and it should be a credit to both Babich and Bradley.  

 

On the flip side, there is very little improvement to see on the offensive side of the ball.  Someone mentioned that BB5 has begun throwing less interceptions, citing that as improvement.  That's all well and good.  But rookies are expected to throw INTs.  What I'm more concerned about with BB5 is his footwork, his accuracy, his pre-snap reads, and his ability to go through progressions during the play.  That type of progress is not occurring...  

 

Well, I tried to past BB5's season stats, but it didn't work the way I wanted...

 

Let's just say this...  BB5's QB rating was higher the first 4 games then they were the last 4...  That's not the direction one wants to go...Same with his yards per attempt average... Same with his yards per game... Same with TDs... http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/gamelog/_/...ke-bortles

 

 

Besides INTs, almost every other statistical category has dropped off his last 4 games compared to his first 4.  Again, these are things that concern me.  And these are also things that are the players fault as well as the responsibility of the coaches...
