Titans vs. Skins Positives and Negatives.

I think scheme has more to do with what happened to Morris.

No RG3 is what's happened to Morris.

Because he's really the only difference across the offensive line from 2012, so no I don't think the offensive line is to blame for Morrises problems this year. That's just a convenient excuse, in my opinion

While it's mainly the same line from 2012 in terms of names, this is not the line we saw in 2012. Morris needs to step up and secure the ball more, that's clear. However the level of play from our team as a whole has declined.

I also never stated the line was "great."

Jay pretty much said it in his presser.



On if running back Alfred Morris is performing differently than in past years:

“You know what, I don’t think so. He’s had some bad looks at plays where not many backs would make positive yards, but he’s had some good looks where he’s missed some cuts and he’s had some good runs. We’ve just got to keep giving it to him and keep giving him the looks. But as far as him digressing from last year, I don’t think he is. I still think he’s the same guy. I think he’s a good, productive running back in the NFL. We’ve just got to get him better looks, and when he has a good look, he’s got to make the right reads. So, it’s a little bit of a combination of everything. We still like Alfred. We still feel like he’s going to carry us to where we need to go.”


He's missing the cuts that he used to hit years prior.

...and THIS.

I can tell you he's lying. Colt was told Saturday to be ready because he was coming in if Kirk struggled again and the game was close

Rich Gannon was at practice and he said Kirk looked bad, he's lost his confidence. Colt looked good during the same practice.

Yeah loading the box against a slower, grinding back def will hurt his production. Of course the Oline isnt doing anybody any favors...

How about some improvement by the HC in the red Zone? Some creative play-calling could help. When the Red Zone plays aren't working, shouldn't the HC call some other plays that might work?

Weren't the Bengals one of the best, if not the best, red zone team in the NFL the last two years?

Whether it the redzone, 3rd down, base set, etc with the offense, Gruden a) doesnt have his guys to fit his scheme and b) are missing valuable pieces (QB) to run his offense.

A lot of what we are seeing in the offense in the first year is a vetting process for Gruden this year to really find out what pieces we have here and what pieces need to be replaced.

Hopeful he realizes the entire right side of the Oline and we need another TE are the obvious.

So what's the answer, then? We can't wait until we get same type of personnel the Bengals have before we score more Red Zone touchdowns. Is Gruden supposed to have the luxury of trying to do the same things he did in Cincy with different players while waiting for Bruce to get him "his" players, or is he supposed to adjust and make something happen here and now in the Red Zone with the players he has currently?

I'm not a fan of the way he makes negative comments about good players without finding creative ways to help them make something happen in the Red Zone. He should look in the mirror. That's where he'll find some of the team's Red Zone problems.
