Disaapointed with Norv

At the begining of the season, CMC actually had holes to run through, with a dumpster fire offensive line, Cam was stepping up into the pocket, we were looking better than we had for years.  Then the Steelers showed everyone how to make swiss cheese out of the oline and Norv never managed to adjust and recover.  His redzone O has been the worst I've seen in 5 years.

 

Is he the one gone at the end of the season?

I assure you RR will NOT let the D regress like the poo we saw this season again.  God, I wish RR would just be our DC.

To answer your question, no.

To ask a follow up question, how much of the offensive regression do you think is attributed to having an injured QB?

I think you have to put it in the proper context and remember he has an injured QB and a patchwork OL. Not a free pass by any means but those are two things that are tough to overcome. I really think that’s why we relied so heavily on short passes and more of a diagonal and sometimes horizontal passing game. 

As much as I want to blame Norv I just can’t convince myself that he’s the problem.

They're super tough to overcome when Norv forgets halfway through the second quarter that it's legal to run the ball

when your qb can't really throw downfield it makes playing d a whole lot easier.  watching luck play, they take shots and run the ball.   the d has to respect the deep threat.   we don't have that.  norv doesn't have that.   i'm not happy with nt either but no deep threat is a big deal

Yeah I’ve been disappointed in norvs second half, not enough running, if norv knows cam isn’t healthy to pass downfield, than game plan around it, also not enough running cam in the redzone or on the goaline

if norv knows cam is hurt... run cam more in the redzone.  so run the hurt qb more is what you're saying?  hmmmm?  idk if you've thought your cunning plan all the way thru

Norv, like most of us, has room for improvement, but do your really believe he is the reason our offense has fallen off a cliff these last 6 weeks?

Norv isn't the cause of the red zone turnovers, but the shitty playcalling inside the 10 and the absolute refusal to run the ball are all his fault

I thought he started out really well, but in recent weeks his redzone play calling has been questionable at best and then last night for some reason we completely abandoned the run in the second half while the OL couldn't pass protect, Cam could barely throw the ball, and after CMC had been having good success in the first half. Baffling

      I don't agree with this, he looks jacked to me.  His frame won't allow him to ever be as big as XL, and that's fine.  He will just have a hard time with press, there are ways to deal with that.

      that type of QB, especially paired with a weaker NFL arm.....excel with quick game weapons though.   it sounds like you are a big Tmac homer.  I mean, if you are watching every snap he played in college.   So, it's safe to say we likely won't see eye to eye on expectations for year 1.   And my expectations on Tmac aren't all in his control.  As I have also said, elsewhere, this is really year 2 for Bryce.  So I expect the first half of the season to carry healthy odds of a year 2 regression (specifically the first half).  Film, tendencies, and weaknesses in Dave's offense are going to be prepared for.    out of curiosity, what cons to Tmac's game where in the scouting stuff you saw?

      Maybe a weeeee bit exaggerating. I think he will be a great player. But that doesn’t look like someone that was super committed in the weight room during college which is just a little confusing. Maybe he cut some weight to try and run a better 40. We saw Julio come into the league a little skinnier, get bigger/stronger and really start dominating. Strength and size is important as a big physical x receiver. It’s not so important for the Devonta Smith role
