Yes, the line was bad, but it really isn't a whole lot better this season, and it wasn't any better after Lazor took over and righted the ship for sure. Zampese was just terrible. I certainly won't argue about the FO, because it was those morons that made him a lifer position coach, then lazily promoted him to a position he had no business being in.Mcvay- the team improved their offensive line and weapons drastically last season. Cooper Kupp, Andrew Whitworth, Sammy Watkins( replaced with Brandin cooks) , and John Sullivan. They basically did the exact opposite of what we have done in the past two offseasons. So if you want to ignore the mass talent that has arrived in LA and give all the credit to the boy wonder than go ahead. It however doesn't make you any less wrong.
So, if coaching doesn't matter, how do we explain the Fisher/McVay dynamic in LA? Hell, how about Merv vs LeBeau? Schemes, personnel evals, adapting to player strength/weakness, exploiting matchups.....etc.....all of that is coaching.
Lazor vs Zampese- I like what Lazor has done I do but let's be honest here. Exept for the second Ravens game we're we scored 31 points against aagood defense. we scored only 21 points total against the Jaguars, Bears, and Vikings. So good Defenses figured us out with Lazor as well. Also against the Ravens in the first Game Dalton missed a wide open Core that would have been a TD and had two turnovers in the red zone.
Also pointing out I have never said coaching is meaningless but at the same time I would rather have an elite group of players than an elite coach any day of the week.
