Bevell's play designs are so bad, Russell has to make "broken plays" to make up for poor designs. Commentators call them broken plays when Russell runs. It's broken before they even run them, can't fix it unless they acknowlege its broken to begin with. Pete can be as cheerful and positive as he wants but the players are making up for Bevell's incompetency.
Every play that Russell has to make with help from his receivers in a "scramble drill" shows it's not the players that aren't doing their jobs right, it shows the person in charge designing and calling plays, isn't smart enough to use the pieces he has to work with, & is incapeable of accepting responsibility to fix it, since Bevell doesn't think it's his designs that are bad, he won't adjust as much as he needs to.
Next man up is the mantra the team preaches.
Well, Bevell should look in the mirror and realize his ideas(designs) are the problem and accept that he's not the genius Pete has him thinking he is. The only way this offense can't fulfill it's true potential is to replace Bevell. No matter what players John brings in for the offense, they will not be used right with Bevell designing and misusing the talent. Put players in position to excel is the goal, but the person making those decisions prove that won't happen with him still holding a job without fear of losing it. Continuity only works for so long, the competition adjust weekly and they have seen Bevell's plays enough that it's predictable, making it harder for the players to execute them, when the other team already figured out what he will call. 2 times, throwing picks on the goalline, the other team knows Bevell is so into proving his plays are great, that he will potentially cost the team wins, just to show he's smarter then them.
Pete should accept the fact, his offense isn't working & the players executing aren't the whole reason, they don't work. Pete and Bevell want the players to execute them perfectly for it to work, there are 11 players that have to perform perfectly. That's proven to be a problem, when 1 mistake can ruin the play. I haven't heard of outlet or hot routes or check downs being pointed out during breakdowns of the game from commentators.
Why doesn't Russell have those options, why does everyone have to run deep routes almost every play. Poor design is the main reason. I'm done venting for the night, i don't care if people disagree, i'm hear to get this out of my system and family doesn't want to hear it. Thanks and good night.
