Cooley said Callahan likes running plays w TEs and not FBs and that callahan has a say in each weeks game plan. Problem is both of our better blocking TEs got injured in the PS and Scot brought in a pass catching project in Carrier instead of a blocking TE.
How hard is it to find a blocking TE? there should be a bunch of fringe blocking TEs sitting at home waiting for their phone to ring. its basically the lowest level skill set outside of a long snapper.
Can you learn a playbook?
Do you know how to block?
You're hired!
This failure of the run game is on gruden, mcvay, callahan and scot imo. the solutions seem obvious. play DY and hire a blocking TE. see what happens. 14 yards total is a fucking joke. they have had 9 weeks to fix it or at least take a different approach. its swing gate comical at this point. |
At this point, it really doesn't matter what Gruden's, McVay's, and Callahan's preference is, one or two back. They have two receiving TE and a badass FB.
Have to use what you have not what you want.
If McVay is really the next offensive wizard, he and Gruden and Callahan should be able to work a Pro-bowl caliber player into the game plan.
Inexcusable. Literally, just copy Seattle and Green Bay's FB plays if they can't come up with some on their own.
