Note To The Offense: Please Feed DVP And Gieseke

[GhostArmOfMarino]

We have two guys offensively that are a threat anywhere on the field, two healthy veteran guys in the prime of their life who make plays seemingly every time the ball is in the air.

Yet...each week we refuse to get them involved in the game early, they only start seeing passes late in the game when its basically already over and we are attempting a massive comeback.

Parker is like a magnet, if the ball is even remotely catchable you have to feel good that he's catching it or noone is in almost every circumstance.

Gieseke is a matchup nightmare, yet its like we refuse to even put him on the field or look at him until the end of the game.

Other teams with bad lines are able to feed their best offensive players, I dont want to hear that excuse.

You want Waddle to take a short one to the house? Think how much easier that is when the defense can't play underneath coverage all day.

Stop running plays for the 4th, 5th and 6th best targets on the field. Start running plays that target...I don't know, your playmakers.

I really don’t think the play calling is changing as much as people think. Brissett is literally Captain Checkdown. If you go back and watch every play there are multiple times where guys were open down field and he chose a short throw anyhow. He gets aggressive in the 4th because we have been losing 3 weeks in a row and teams are shifting to prevent defenses. I agree that we aren’t optimizing how we use players like Waddle, but I really think Brissett is a huge part of the problem. If Fitz was still the back up we probably could have beat the Raiders and Colts simply because he would throw downfield all game.

Flores should of been on the headset with one of his 46 offensive coordinators and said "Design plays for Gesicki, Parker, and Waddle or you're fired"

Sicki and DVP are definitely the most visible pissed. Sicki the last 3 games, makes a fit on the field when he is open and the ball doesn't come his way. You can't see it on TV, it shows up in All22

It's the thing i HATE about posters that make these silly points about the OC etc. You think those OCs are saying check down every single time? Of course not! Those check downs are options for the QB and likely aren't meant to be the first read. But it's obvious a QB like Brissett is clearly uncomfortable with throwing the ball down field, in tigh windows, etc. He doesn't have that kind of talent unless it's wide open and he happens to see it early. It also doesn't help that you can't trust this OL.
