Quote:I really don't think it is on Olson beyond some questionable no run play calling.

But it has been said that Blake has checked out of some RZ runs, and there have been some run pass options, that BB5 has chosen to pass on.


That being said.... it is expected that young players improve from year to year. So an uptick in offensive production should have happened for both teams.

The offense improving more in Oakland has multiple factors, with their new offensive scheme obviously being one of them. Carr has improved and Cooper was a serious threat to add to that team.

The defense also has played better in Oakland, in both seasons really.

However, here recently Oakland has come back down to Earth a bit.


You always have to weigh all factors. Who did he have rostered with those teams....



I'm not ready to BLAME Olson yet. Our young Oline doesn't get a lot of push in the run game. Our QB and weapons on the outside can make plays.

Leaning toward what seems to be the teams strength isn't so crazy.


Next year the Oline will have 2 really good guards, a solid RT and LT and Mack or Wiz. I think the run game will improve.

I would bring back a FB. I would find a John Kuhn type guy.

I would run it more but like I said before playing to the strengths of the team isn't a bad idea, and we're not really a power run team, even if we want to be.


On D? Well... we need a playmaker at S. Find one. Get one. Somehow someway.

We need to get quicker sideline to sideline cover backers... Poz is great against the run, but we have to find his future replacement (Myles Jack?)

We can't rush the QB, so if we can't ever get to the QB consistently it won't matter if we can cover in the RZ or between the 20s.

Pass rusher should be attacked hard. Even if we miss on one or two, if we bring in 4 it'll be fine.

The market will have a lot of guys coming free, tweeners, 4-3 ends, we should bring in 2 or 3, and draft at the LEO position at least once in the top 3 rounds.


That's what I'd do.

None of that can happen until next season. So for now... I just hope we get a little better in the area each game. Focus on improving....

Next year we have to make our move.
