- Marv is too conservative - offense/defense play way too vanilla (and I'm not one of those guys that always says Marv is too conservative)
- Marv/the OC abandon the run too early
- Marvin teams always seem to lack fire (teams often take on the identity of their HC)
It also seems like this team has been drafting players who are quiet nice guys. Think Leon, AJ, Dalton, Whit, Zeitler, Gio, Geno, Dunlap, MJ, MLJ, etc etc. This entire squad is loaded with guys who fit that "quiet nice guy" mold. Then as soon as a player like Jeremy Hill opens his mouth, he gets scolded publicly by the OC.
So IMO, scheme is partly to blame, and perhaps they aren't drafting enough fiery leader types. Or maybe the atmosphere within the organization isn't conducive to fiery leadership.
Good answer(s). But I still wonder when the sick of it pride as a man kicks in and his team fires itself up. This is their legacy on the line too. Can he really be preventing his team from playing with emotion? How are they beaten before they get started over and over again? It's mystifying.
