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.
Lazor has had to play from 2 - 3 scores behind several times in recent games. Now this might not be a major point, but he has been limited with his playbook options when he's forced to play catch up just to stay in the game. We saw better production in the first 5 games this season when he was able to open his playbook. Enter some injuries for which he had no comparable talent for backups, all while the defense wasn't able to get off the field, and he's been at a disadvantage in almost every game since. It has been a combination of several failures led by Mikey and Marvin's own substandard performances.
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
