Don't tell me its Gus Frerotte....Besides quarterback, I do not see any significant changes on offense.....Does that mean that the losing is a mental thing or that we are just not talented?

Mularky, and his offensive play calling.
 
In my opinion, our biggest problems this year have been offensive line, secondary, and inconsistency from the QB and receivers ... pretty much in that order. On the coaching side, I'm not too wild about Mularkey. We need a proven offensive genius in there who's not TOO creative but not TOO conservative either ... an OC that has a rock solid understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the whole team and has a knack for calling just the right plays at just the right time.
 
The Difference is Linehan came down on the sidelines and ran the offense for Saban last year. Unfortunately this year Linehan is running the Rams offense :(
 
We passed it 183 times and ran it 140 times during the 6 game winning streak. We were far more balanced than what we are now.

Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown combined for 23.33 carries per game during the 6 game winning streak.

Thanks......

Why is it that the Chiefs are doing better than us with a backup QB? Because they're putting the ball in the hands of their best player and not asking their backup QB to throw 50+ times a game.
 
The difference was Ricky Williams, he rushed for nearly 700 yards during that final stretch and scored a bunch of TD's.

He makes up for the inadequicies in the offensive line cause he can bounce so fast, (by the way ronnie bounced a few times yesterday to get some darn good runs).

Maybe but, ricky can break 60 yard runs for td's he can out run the secondary, Ronnie's not the same type of back, not to mention I just don't think this team wants to pound the rock to win games, we want a more explosive offense and to do that were going through some growing pains.

In addition I don't want to see us shorten Ronnies career for short term gain, I mean have you noticed he has to run over 5 guy just to gain 5 yards, give him the ball 30 times and you will shorten his career if not his season.

The days of the 40 carries a game rb left with wanny. like it or not, i personally like it.

I'm not a big fan of spending the #2 overall pick on a RB only to run him 279 times in a full season as the feature back. It would be nice to see him get atleast 320 carries in a season.......
 
You guys missed the obvious point last year we had a winning streak this year we don't

Linehan is the biggest difference, we miss him more than we thought we would. Boolarky has to go!

Fassel is available. :evil: If you want to run the ball, he is your man. And to be honest we wouldn't any worse off right now. Truth be known, they have probably already have a call into his office. If this losing keeps up someone is going to get the axe, even if it is just a scapegoat axe.
