In terms of the offensive line, the man inherited a team that had John Jerry and Andre Smith playing LT last year. Cordy Glenn (who he did not trade for) turned out to be a turd who just really didn't want to play football. Clint Boling decided for health reasons to retire. Jonah Williams got injured. First round pick Billy Price (who he did not draft) is a complete bust. They sign XSF who has played all of one game.
He inherited a team with one starting caliber WR in Tyler Boyd. First round pick John Ross is a complete bust. We all know the story with AJ.
He inherited a team with the worst LB corps in the NFL, and it wasn't even close.
They go out and spend the most they have ever spent in free agency. Trae Waynes has yet to play a snap. Mackensie Alexander is out. XSF is out. Now Reader is out for the season as Geno finally is able to play. And speaking of the defensive line, which should have been an absolute strength on this team, aside from Reader now being out and Geno being injured, Tupou opted out of the season, Glasgow failed his physical and was released, and Mike Daniels has been placed on IR.
Let's not forget, this season he has a rookie QB, and yes Joe Burrow is going to be great, but the fact of the matter is it takes some time to learn how to play QB in the NFL, to adjust to the speed of the game, and to develop that internal clock in your head where you know you have to get rid of the football. Yes, the O-line is not good, but some of the hits and sacks Joe has taken are directly attributed to himself. He's a rookie, and that was never more apparent than it was Sunday.
Look I know the mantra in the NFL is next man up. Every team suffers injuries, and the good teams figure out how to overcome them. The fact of the matter is this team has zero depth behind their starters. What Zac inherited last year was a pile of shit. Those of you who expected this team to make the playoffs this year were kidding yourselves, and that's if they stayed relatively healthy. Given that they haven't, temper your expectations.
For one Zack has no business being a OC and HC. Its too much
For a 1st time HC to TAKE ON.
He's 1 and 7 vs.the North. Thats Cleveland Browns pre 2019 esque
Every game he has to out coach the coach across the field and out scheme
The DC . Sunday Martindale bitched slapped Taylor so hard his mommy felt
It in Sooner Country.He gets out coached every game
Every week its the same answers from.him.."we are going to.watch film and correct
Our mistakes and be great." Darn Im convinced on that quote alone
He has a franchise QB and has no.idea how to preserve him.
Hell did you see Bill Cowher run 5 WR empty sets with Ben as,a rookie. Heck no.
They ran 1 TE 3 WR sets...2 3 TE sets...they protected Big Ben.
I have a feeling some of this team isnt buying into him..He had no cache when he was
Hired.
He wont get 6 wins this year. Maybe 4. Maybe.
