I agree with this bc last year our offense was quick short passes as an extension of the run game ... but I thought maybe that was perhaps him just adjusting and dialing down his playbook bc of personnel (Alex Smith/Allen).

This year I think we made additions to try and get players to fit more of what he wanted .. seemed like going vertical/stretching field/making defense have to defend entire field = what the FO focused on adding this year.

Now w the injury to Fitz we cant do what we want to do (who knows if Fitz wouldve worked out anyway) .. and our figuring out how to harmonize this offense with Taylor Heinike. He doesnt seem to make quick decisions but he does have some scramble ability and ability to hit a seam.

Year 2 and I dont think Scott Turner is getting to run the playbook he wants to.

Thats life in the NFL.

Adapt.

Taylor Heinke isnt Kyle Allen.
Taylor Heinike isnt Fitz.

Hes like something in between ... making his 4th career start.
