Quote:If this was high school ball I could see that argument working, but these are guys that have been playing ball all their lives. They don't need to be taught fundamentals, they should know that coming in. 

 

Coaching at the NFL level is about management and game planing. I'll agree our coaching staff didn't play to our strengths many games, but that might be because we simply didn't have an offensive strength to play. 

 

I don't know man...   think maybe fundamentals may have been the wrong term to use...

 

One play stands out in my mind...  Joekel recognized the blitzing LB, turned his head to watch him rush in at the snap, then proceeded to help out the LG, leaving BB5 wide open for a crushing sack.

 

That was indicative of the O-line all year.  They had no clue what was going on and what to do.  That to me is fundamentals.  Maybe there is a better term for it.  But the lack of awareness of what to do in any situation is all on coaching.  

 

And it's what was the prevelant issue on the offense all year long.
