Our offense

[Beason52]

Look I'm not a coach and I don't play one on tv but can someone please tell me something. Why is our offense look like the most bland, plain simple offense in the league?

Steve Smith is upset that he isn't getting the ball. And rightfully so. Is the only was to get a wideout the ball by throwing down field? No why not directsnap or "wildcat" to Smitty. I watched the Bears/Falcons game on Sunday and Roddy white lined IN THE BACKFIELD and shot out like a tight end and caught a pass. Why no reverses or end around?

So Dewayne Jarrett can only be on the field on 3rd down? Why not have a play where he is the designated receiver on 1st down? No one would be expecting that when they are doubling Smitty. Does he suck that bad? look what happened when Dallas gave Miles Austin a chace. This dude has been here 3 years and has 10 catches.

Full house backfield? Is John Fox worried if D-lo and Stewart are on the field at the same time they will both get hurt at the same exact moment and will be left without a feature back?

Why is the Giants and Saints seem like they have 10 Wide Receivers on their roster? I know Rosario and King have gotten into the action lately but it seems like if it's not Smith or Moose than it's nothing. Even decent QBs will have days where they have multiple players with a catch.

Why not even put Smitty in the slot? And didn't I see #28 practice with the wideouts over the summer? This is why defenses have their way with us...

Yeah, I agree 100%. It's absolutely bewildering why we are so limited on offense. We had similiar problems when Henning was the OC and the common denominators are Fox and Delhomme. I think Fox's ultra-conservative philosophy and Delhomme's fading skills (which were average to begin with) are handcuffing this offense IMO.

mcdaniels would salivate over our offense literally,i would if i had a degree in this stuff too.

my question is if the smoke route to smith averages about 8 to 10 yards why get rid of it all of a sudden?i know moss is double but yet he still has games where he is straight beast

[God]

We have the conservative imbecile Fox, thats why our offense is poop.

This has been discussed as nauseum but I love it each time. It's almsot painful to watch our offense compared to other teams. It's as if we struggle to do the most simple things while other teams are so fluid. We seemingly go from 1st to 3rd down in seconds as well. I just don't grasp how we have to force our way down the field when other teams can just pass, pass, pass, run, pass, run...

Okay, I do grasp why (Fox, Jake, Davidson) but still...I don't get why they have to be SO stubborn and rarely change their ways.

[Raskle]

I just love how a third grader can predict when we run and which direction it will be to. I mean, c'mon Fox... does he honestly believe the other team is not watching where the FB/TE in motion is lining up?

Ex: Motion the TE to the left, lined up behind the LT/LG... result = run play to the left between tackles. It's not even funny how predictable we are anymore.

[Lt Pinkerton]

This is a power run-game offense. It's indeed predictable, but it's also effective.

The problem with the offense is Jake. (there other problems too, but they would mostly be alleviated if we had a quarterback who could complete passes)
