I have bad news for you

Andre Smith isn't the magic bullet that was giving us time last year. I also will tell you schemes are notorious for hiding bad players on the line and creating false pressure on defense. The patriots have little talent on their o line, but they protect brady by using backs and TE's to help and using quick routes/rub routes to get guys open quickly.

This team has the talent, but they lack vision in the scheme and no ability to adjust. We didn't use any bunch routes to free AJ up this weekend. They are running cover two, so how about a split end/slot go/post combo to beat cover 2? Where were the smash concepts on the outside? Why were we not moving the pocket with bootlegs and waggles to buy time? Misdirection slows down pass rush, moving the pocket makes the d lineman run farther to get to the QB.

This is not a talent problem it is an ego problem. It seems like we want to do what "we do" rather than adjusting to what "they do".

Exactly my friend !

I've preached this many times. Marvin and Co. aren't capable of figuring out what we have and how to use it. They say this is what we're gonna do and they're determined to make it work. After all it's their plan so it has to be good. Right 

And you can forget in game changes, they have plan A and that's it !

But even bigger than that, we have a serious accountability problem which leads to a serious lack of effort problem. That's out biggest problem bar none !
