Fade":1rzvcmm9 said:The Hawks have generally drafted well at the position they have just been Cable'd.
Spencer Ware 6th Rd (Starting RB) (Couldn't keep due to deep roster, and he got a DUI.)
Thomas Rawls UDFA (He has regressed under Cable, and gotten worse.)
Alex Collins 5th Rd (Looked like a bust w/Cable, looked like a starter in BAL,)
Chris Carson 7th Rd (Looked impressive.)
They have consistently found starters with late rd picks. The problem to me continues to be coaching.
Suspect Picks
C-Mike 2nd Rd Bust (I wonder with different coaching what could of been, he clearly had talent.)
Procise 3rd Rd (Didn't mis-evaluate the talent. He is just made of glass.)
Bottomline the team needs a new O-Line coach.
These threads that keep popping up focusing on draft picks are missing the point entirely. Cable & Bevell are black holes that drag everyone down with them unless they are All-Pros talent wise, and can overcome them.
Focus on the defensive draft picks if you want to be critical. They at least can be honestly evaluated because they are competently coached on that side of the ball.
The talent evals are spot on at an incredibly high rate, it's just stuff keeps happening, Mainly Cabevell.
It's not so much Bevell...Cable on the other hand, IS the problem with the run game.
The Seahawks letting our RB Coach go last year has screwed things up, Bevell has had to run plays involving RB's by Cable when he's drawing up Offensive schemes.
Inept O-Line play factors in Bigly (LOLOL)
Remember when Big Walt & Steve Hutchinson were plowing the field for Shawn Alexander?
That showed me just how important O Blocking can be for the Run Game....Didn't hurt having Mack Strong lending a helping hand in the boot.
Alexander was almost AUTOMATIC in the Red Zone for getting TD's...Sure wish we could use that type of ZBS again eh? LOL.
