In his first 3 games as OC, the offense averaged 346 per game. But...in the last 9 games, they've been held to 276 or less yards 7 times, less than 200 yards 4 times and less than 165 yards passing 5 times.
Those numbers are pretty brutal.
I've been judging him on points, rather than yards. The yards are hard to come by with this line. Can't run, struggling to pass. It took some serious creativity to even get points on the board, and Lazor managed to get 20+ on the board in 8 of his first 10 games. I refuse to look at these last 2 games because the team quit...and that's more of a Marvin thing (players realize he's out).
I'm not sold either, but only because it's been too much of a mess this season to judge much of anything outside of Marvin and this o-line. I don't really want Lazor back, but it's no fault of his own. I just want the next coach to fill out his staff with his guys. For all I know, Lazor is a solid coach.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
