I'd like to see Green have more receptions...but A LOT of Dalton's interceptions have come forcing the ball to Green...so in that regard it's better to not force it.
Are you happy with AJ Green's targets/usage?

True, Lafell and Boyd just are not explosive. Not using Ross is epicly stupid by Marv, doesn't even dress the guy games! The thing is we have 3 or 4 receivers that do have the speed to scare teams, Ross, Malone, Core and Erickson. We just don't use them near enough.

With a predictable offense such as ours, defenses feel safe making sure he is doubled up often. Yah Harley, not like we cannot make our Offense less predictable with the players we have, especially using the directional blocking in the run game we used last game. We have the RB's with Mixon and Gio who are very versatile and can be used as WR's even if we wanted, they are very good route runners and arguably faster than Lafell and Boyd. We could try and use these guys like the Pats use theirs. (11-28-2017, 11:36 AM)WeezyBengal Wrote: Sometimes im not sure how happy AJ is with it. I have seen him get visibly frustrated on the sidelines on more than one occasion. I think that was more frustration with losing then being targeted. AJ is pretty damn classy, nothing like TO or the divas.

Not so sure as an innocent bystander, I have any say in the matter....

They are utilizing Burkhead beautifully and he is producing. I totally respect BB and his coaching. Guy knows talent and goes and gets it (terrible in FF though if I may add-lol). He may make James White or Gillislee a huge part of the gameplan next week. How do you plan against such a great thinker like that? Teams in the AFCE try, and sometimes succeed. However when they face the Pats, it's going to be a tough one. We truly need better leadership on our team if AJ is going to get freed up. However, better leadership does not tie your hands to 1 or 2 star performers to win a game. The simple fact we have to discuss how we can get the ball to AJ is not a good recipe for success in this days NFL. You have to plan and think outside the box. Be smart and do the unexpected. Unexpected is not people on the message board during a game often able to tell you what play we are doing next or who's going to get the ball? Unexpected is not message board posters being able to predict several plays to follow in 1 sentence? If we can see it, you know opposing coaches see it? We truly suck gentlemen and it's sad. There may never be a BB arise in the NFL again because he truly is a genius in his trade compared to his peers. But if you just give us one who has enough common sense to eat spaghetti without slurping sauce on his shirt? That would be a tremendous improvement.

We lack a quarterback who not a gun slinger. Andy's a conservative passer.

Not the offensive scheme, the horrendous play by the line or the 3.0 ypc (and league worse rush YPG). Feel free to support my Film/TV Review YouTube Channel - Youtube.Com/NaterTot

Being a gunslinger with a rocket arm isn’t always necessarily a good thing.
Would anyone have rather had Jay Cutler over Andy Dalton all these years? I wouldn’t.

Spread the ball around getting production from other players to take heat off AJ so he gets more single coverage and more chances. Get longer drives going score more points give the D a chance to rest up between drives so they can create more sacks three and outs and turnovers. Which in turn gives AJ more chances to get targets and catches.

Definately two different worlds, Belicheck and his staff compared to Marv and his. Like you said, we can predict what is going to happen before it does. The good news is i truly believe we will be moving on from these clowns after this season. Who knows if we turn into the Browns and just don't win any games for years, but i doubt it whoever we get after what we have had here. There will be optimism for once. I have had no optimism in winning a playoff game for years. That would change with any new coach that actually believes adjustments are actually a thing you have to do in football.
