Dominique Foxworth watched the Texans and doesn't think Osweiler is the problem: http://theundefeated.com/features/you-cant-blame-osweiler-for-houstons-problems/

quote:


Coach Bill O’Brien, who is thought to be an offensive guru, has been failing his well-compensated quarterback. Two weeks ago, in a conversation on Mike & Mike about the viability of Chip Kelly’s system, I drew a distinction between Kelly’s system and Kelly the coach. Kelly’s system was great, but Kelly the coach has not shown the ability to adapt as opponents figure out how to stop his key concepts.

O’Brien is displaying the same tactical rigidity, but avoiding the criticism.

...


All NFL offenses script their first 15 plays. Of course you want to score, but the first 15 should be a recon mission. Run a variety of shifts, formations, and alignments for Hopkins. And track the defensive adjustments. Then you can dictate to the defense the coverages you want. For example: on the first third down, line up in a three-receiver spread formation, but align the tight end outside of the receiver. If a linebacker follows him outside and the safeties stay in a two-deep shell, you know they are in 2-man. Then shift the tight end back to his traditional alignment and all three receivers to a bunch formation on the other side. The defense will either stay in 2-man, in which case you can torment them with picks and rub routes from the bunch, or they will check the coverage to a cover 2 zone, then you can run three-receiver flood concepts at the safety and cornerback.

Smart defenses have answers for these, like Hi-lows, Cones, and Boxes, but there are route combinations that’ll beat those too. This is why people say that football is like chess.

Find someone who values you like Rick Spielman values 7th round picks.



I don't know enough to comment on the Texans offensive gameplanning, but you would think some of Osweilers god awful throws over the last several weeks contributed to how bad the offense has been.

Seems legit, the Patriots are 0-2 in the Super Bowl with O'Brien, but 4-0 without him in the Tom Brady era.

But that could also be because of Wes Welker, who is 0-3 in Super Bowls with Brady/Manning, who are a combined 6-0 in Super Bowls without Welker.

Meanwhile, the Lions lead the league in drops, lost Megatron to retirement, lost their starting running back to IR, lost their other two running backs to injury, have given up 15 sacks and are playing Clay Harbor, Khari Lee and Cole Wick at tight end.

Despite all this, Matthew Stafford is on pace for his most efficient season ever and is third in the league in passer rating. :smug:

The fine for the stomp thing is super weird. Either he stomped on the dude and should be suspended like players in the past or he didn't step on him and shouldn't be fined at all. I don't think NFL knows either way but still feels obligated to do something so we get another weird half-way measure.

He went down because he didn't want to go out of bounds to stop the clock. But the Seattle refs being as great as they are, stopped the clock anyway.

And yeah, I don't think it was his intent to punch at Devonta's head that would just be dumb. He was going for the ball.

I'm personally happy for the switch because I didn't like rooting against Ryan Fitzpatrick.

I think the Jets' hands were tied and they still made the best decision they could w/r/t Fitz. That said, I think this has to be the final chapter of the Great Fitzpatrick Swindle, right?
