Every 3rd/4th and short he goes for the gusto with crazy, deep timing fade patterns when they simply need 2-3 yards max. in 2 downs. It's happened for years.He never goes into short yardage saying we have 2 downs to get 2-3 yards and this is when they're gaining momentum the few times running the ball.
Can't forgive him for having the ball 3x in Baltimore within the Ravens 40 yard line and coming away with not even a FG attempt let alone any points. 3X run out of downs with crazy deep fade patterns.
I can't excuse him for the home game against the Ravens and running it 3 times into the gut in OT and settling for a 52 yarder.
I can't forgive him just a couple years ago on a sunday night game in Baltimore when they're gashing the ball down their throats running the ball and they try a stupid double reverse inside the 5 yard line for a massive loss of yards. All of this is just against one freaking team for crying out loud.
Well said Higgy.
If Zac sticks around he needs to step back from calling the plays. It seems it is always at the wrong time that we go away from the run and
he uses plays where the odds are very bad in getting first downs, let alone TD's. Like you say, the crazy deep fades and reverses.
We were running the ball well against the stealers and just went away from it as usual acting like we were down 3 TD's when we were only
down 3 at halftime and got a blocked FG out of Ossai. Herbert also had a nice run early and shown why I liked the pickup and then we go
away from him like always. Zac is allergic to success. He just doesn't have a knack for timing in play calling.
Burrow and Chase carry him sad to say. Some of this is on Burrow though, he loves the Shotgun and as far as I saw didn't go under Center
once yesterday.

Probably right. Ben Johnson is going to be a HC and has said something about wanting total control, we all know Vrabel or Belichick want
the same. We are most likely going to keep Zac, I just hope we replace Lou and the trench coaches so we have a shot at change for the
good on Defense. Cannot get any worse, this was historically bad under Lou.
