Not a problem if we’re up 21 or so because we played offense with a sense of urgency the first 3 quarters.
Not really. Last season for example he went three whole quarters without doing anything. His fundamentals were a bit off. In years past even when he had a pocket he would elect to retreat backwards instead of step up. This tendency happened even when we had an offensive line in 2013/2014.Smellyman":20ol1wxf said:He has always performed well with pressure in his face, less pressure this year with Solari.
Cable should be tried for assault

This season he was stepping up into the pocket, and he even made a few Brady like slide steps to avoid pressure. He was setting up his pass blockers. Something he never did before Schottenheimer. His movement in the pocket was a lot more precise and crisp. Before he was like a chicken with his head cut off, and would manufacture a lot of pressure.
We have to remember that Schottenheimer was the man that Brees gave credit to for elevating his game to the next level. He has a long history with some good QB's. In the context of QB coaching, I think he's pretty darn good. I despise him, and always have as an OC, that being said I think he is perhaps one of if not the best QB coach in the league.
This season Russ definitely added some new tricks in his repertoire, and he was more consistent as a passer. The run game played a part, but even with the run game in some seasons he would just kind of derp out for whole halves. I saw a more consistent, more composed quarterback throughout the entire game this season. Not many of those missed wide open errant throws that he used to make.

Is that so hard for some to understand?
This team is in good hands

35 passing TD's for Russell, QBR of 110, #6 Red Zone offense, #8 in total points..............................btw, also almost set a record for offensive turnovers in NFL history, 11.
Nah, Schotty's just fine. He had a great year with a new team, new QB, new coach and trying to install a new offense.
Whereas a level-headed person might suggest that is where the "new team, new offense" stuff comes in. It was never going to be perfect. There were always going to be mistakes and those would inevitably occur in key situations.mrt144":2dywr91h said:Sgt. Largent":2dywr91h said:Smellyman":2dywr91h said:

A cynic might say that while thats all well and good, it didnt neccesarily translate at key inflection points in the season for various reasons.
