I have no particular rooting interest in Bevell, and if the team decides they can do better this off season then they should replace him.
I referenced the Zach Miller soundbite as the game plan that I agreed with, and it looked to me like a good strategy that we just could not implement. The main problem I see with our current offense is that we have struggled to punish teams that play man coverage against us, and that allows them to key on our running game. I also thought that we had trouble on both sides of the line of scrimmage tonight against a very good team and that further hampered our running game.
Was it that wrong to follow the textbook and take shots against man coverage? It has worked for us in the past and led to our only TD today. We just didn't win those 1 on 1's and make enough plays. I know the popular thing around here is to talk about how many screens and bubble screens we should have run, but the Cards LBs brought it today too. Washington and Dansby were flying around the field and before the game I bet most people would have thought going after Shaunessy(SP?)/Cason sounded like a smarter option. I do agree with the crticisms to an extent that it did not look like we had much of a backup plan when their secondary was able to shut down our receivers.
