But Lap was saying that Paul Brown simplified his offense when they were just not getting it done. Brought it down to a small # of plays and drilled them at it till they could do it in their sleep. Lap says their performance dramatically improved.
I'm with Wyche. Lazor's come up with some nice plays (some really good looking screens). But the execution has just not been there. I'm willing to give him some more time. Shoot he's working with a confabulated roster - no tight ends, with the only offensive linemen that are any good playing hurt plus a rookie - who has been hurt. His # 1 WR is out and when he returns will still be dealing with turf toe. So he's got one good receiver and an injury prone rookie who hasn't put the pro game together in his head. Plus one 3rd string TE and a bunch of practice squad players.
But I look at teams like Kansas City, the Rams and New Orleans and dream.
You touch on a very good point 3wt about our depth and teams like LAR and NO. Kupp goes out, Reynolds goes 6 for 80 and a TD. Brees had a TD pass to some guy I never heard of against Philly.
Is it our coaching? Our talent evaluation? Our refusal to pay money to competent backups? Scheme?
I don't know for sure, but our next man up doesn't seem to be the same guy as what those teams have....lol.
(being fair, they don't have near the injuries we do, and ALL of those teams can block, and block well. I think that is your key)
