I think the first thing we need to do is drop the slogans... 4:46? That might be something to put on a shirt, but it has nothing to add to our team when we cant even START. The O line needs a serious upgrade- we have given up 19 sacks in 6 games (and yes both the O-Line and CB share this "stat")
I know others have rightly stated we have no O depth chart, I would agree with that. Since we have no problem running in two different QB's, then lets use the 3rd string O line- what the worse that can happen? At this stage Coach P wont do this and with the three remaining games (I hate to say it) "lessor" talent than we have, let this O line finish out the season. If they have any pride left inside themselves they will take up this "slogan"... "No more sacks the last three games". Heck, I will even pay for the shirts!
So when one looks at those stats you MUST do a couple of things.
Takeaway the QB who stands in the pocket and wont throw it, or won't run when under pressure. Where is Pat Irwin? Heck, give him a shot. I would do short routes with Bolden, Wingate and others in tight formation (or just in a slot) with routes that take no longer then 3 seconds to compete. CB cannot throw a wide route effectively, and takes too long. My goodness our O line should be able to at least keep their blocks for that short of period. If the excuse is we don't have any running backs- then just friggin throw the ball! The second play selection is so poor its not even funny. Second and one has been 3 and 2 so many times its crazy!
With Ochi and Thompson we need more stunts up front and more blitz's and maybe that will help them-but they just don't like they have that swagger they had last year. The Penalties kill us because our guys lack the discipline and the coaches don't reinforce unacceptable behavior on the field. We average 8 game (for you Math freaks that 2 a quarter) and the refs know it and so does the opposing teams.
As to the Kicker his steps on just about EVERY KO are so inconsistent and shows he has lacked training that needs to be done at this level.
Finally, as you stated we all know the answers and it starts (and ends) with Leadership. Coach P just does not have the PROVEN Leadership at this level. If SH has not started a search committee discussion at this time, shame on him. Spend some serious cash to find SOMEONE who wants the challenge of turning a program around. There are plenty of coaches out there who like this type of challenge. The question will be finding someone who WANTS to do it.
