I think he's done a great job lately, but the caveat to that is he needs to make adjustments quicker, and not wait until our season is almost sunk.

Next big test of Bevell will be against St. Louis and Arizona. #3 and #4 pass defenses, assuming Arizona doesn't rest starters. If Bevell can avoid going back to 3rd down bombs when we need two yards to ice the game under that kind of pressure from the scoreboard, I'll give him serious kudos/

Sorry, but people were saying this about Minnesota's defense all week.
It's time people just gave Bevell some credit.
And by the way...
Isn't it funny that with the O-line suddenly playing like an actual O-line (Tom Cable's responsibility) -- suddenly the offense is not just functioning -- but EXCELLING?
Has anyone stopped to think about that for a second?
I'll agree to a point with the fact that the defensive rankings of those teams are not considered great. I would expect good offensive production against all of them. BUT, the production and results of what they have been doing when compared to where they have been cannot be ignored. Yes, Bevell has been doing better and has had more "breathing" room. But I would have to say there is a substantial improvement in the O-line and Wilson's new duties.MontanaHawk05":1ccqu0pv said:Last three games have been against the #31, #19, and #13 (without four defensive starters) DVOA pass defenses, so it's not surprising that Bevell's had some breathing room.

Just quit giving him shiny new toys that he feels he has to force the ball to.

Plus, Graham doesn't seem to check *any* boxes for Borderline Personality Disordered Pschopath, where Harvin checked a bunch of boxes. There is NO comparison between Graham and Harvin. We'll miss Jimmy; we didn't miss Percy and were better without him.

You know, I think there may be a lot to this.
Bevell seems to be better when he calls plays based off of his system, when we throw unique personnel into the mix he seems to really struggle adapting that personnel into his offense.

This.
Why have we started so slow on offense the past three years and only get going when we basically need to play great, or we won't make the playoffs? If we can get on a roll the last half of the season, why can't we also get on a roll the first half of the season as well?
I am very pleased we seem to have turner the corner on offense, and the defense is looking like its old self. It just bugs me that we start so slow every year.

We're wrong a lot. The more I think about it, the more I think he was trying to call a game that did something - anything, to hide the team's biggest weakness, which was the offensive line. Calling games from a weakened state like that definitely limits what you can do.
The only problem I've ever had with Darrell Bevell was last year's... Well, you know. That was a tough one to get over. I've never been on the Fire Bevell train.
If I can't name his replacement, I'm not going to call for his job. All things considered, we've had a very good offense over the past three seasons.

For half this season Bevell magnified a weak line.
This spread that Seattle is suddenly using a huge portion of the time is a huge departure in both route running and play rhythm from what he called most of the year. Playmakers in space working routes off each other, not play action deep shots. Huge departure.
