Oh yeah make excuses for him what about that throw. He cant throw a slant. What JOKE.
JVB looked less than impressive for quite a bit of the game, but I thought at the end... when the offense actually had some rhythm (and it wasn't run up the middle, run up the middle, pass on third and long) that JVB actually looked a lot more comfortable and really played well.
You can be a great player and play poorly if the offense or the system your are running doesn't utilize your strengths and have a rhythm that you are comfortable playing in.
Our passing game looked pretty good when we threw the ball. The receivers were finding ways to get open and they were making catches and winning their matchups.
I really think the coaches need to adapt to the team we have this year. This is a year where we have 2 really good receivers. I believe that there will be very few times this year where McNutt will not have the advantage over whoever is covering him. The coaches need to see this, change the playcalling, get the offense into a rhythm early and utilize our strengths.
We need to play how our players are comfortable/good at playing. I think we need to pass to free up the run, rather than run to free up the pass. I just don't think that is going to work for this team this year.
That is just my opinion though.
