Tobin — not adressing the position in the most recent draft, signing Hart, not using free agency for Oline
They had just double dipped on OL, in the 2019 draft. So far, both of those guys are developing into starters. (Williams and Jordan) This year they added Adeniji, who was cheated of a full year of OTAs, Preseason games, and a truncated training camp, he's going to take a little while to fully develop. They also added and kept Fred Johnson, the jury is still out on FJ. He looked good in limited action at Tackle last year, but stunk it up at RG for one game. A little too soon to be passing judgement on the guy, if you ask me. They did address OL in free agency, by signing Xavier Su'a Filo. By all accounts that I saw in the Chargers game, he was doing well before spraining an ankle. He'll be back in a few weeks. As for not going for a marquis OL signing in FA? I believe that the data shows that OL is likely the worst position group to spend big money on FAs, as far as them panning out to be worth the money spent.
Turner — putting faith in Hart, getting nothing out of Price, simplistic scheme perhaps?
As far as Turner putting faith in Hart? How do we know that he's just not following directives from the top? I'm not talking about Zac Taylor, I'm talking front office. They may have made the directive that "we signed this guy, and we like him, you'll play him". As for Price, he seems to pass the eye test in limited action this year. We'll see if he's ready to live up to his draft position. As far scheme, who tf knows what they're doing. I come from the school of thought that says you keep it simple until you master the basics. No need bogging down a guy's thought process, until the fundamentals become automatic and perfect 9.9/10.
Taylor — letting things go on without change.
I really do think that he's making the most of what he's been given to work with. He can't just wave a magic wand and have 3 top notch OL appear. The FO overhauled the defense in FA, though injuries have stolen the thunder of all those fantastic acquisitions..
Callahan — not getting everyone’s coffee order right
There's nothing wrong with Callahan's offense that some completed deep passes won't cure. It's not his fault that AJ Green is rusty, and dropping what we've come to know as routine catches from him over the years. John Ross bobbling and dropping what should be sure catches is mind boggling as well. If just half of the deep throws that were completely catchable are caught, how much more effective would the run game be if teams had to respect the deep threat?
So nobody is to blame then, cool.
