Bootz, what do you think is the problem with this team? And what, if anything, can be done to address it by those in the org?
Simple. Players need to play better. You can't have 2 interior linemen leading the league in pressures and expect things to operate as normal. You can't have receivers dropping passes and expect things to be just fine. You can't have a QB missing reads, throw passes inaccurately. Can't have your starting RB continue to misdiagnosis blocks and run into the back of linemen.
Now you were right, that a lot of this falls on Jason Licht for having his plan to replace Ali Marpet come in the form of a TE turned RT turned LG. You were right that he should have done more to address the Oline. And we're seeing the result of that now.
But now we're supposed to think that the same coaches that have been here for 4 years now with the same system suddenly don't know how to do their jobs? That is a sad excuse. Now we're at a point where fans are saying it's just fine that players quit because as a grown ass man they aren't motivated enough to do the job they get paid millions to do. That is such a loser mentality that plagued this franchise for decades.
How do we address it? Idk, maybe the players should take the onus on themselves work on their craft more. Attention to detail. Most everyone knows this system already. What's changed is pisspoor play on the field and a drop in talent. The defense is doing their part. The offense needs to play better.
