How much are you actually blaming the defense and offense for the last 3 losses ?

gents, I posted this on a Jet forum.  It was about the Jets OCs who said he took a hard look at himself during the bye ... This is my response. 

what is it with these coaches.  Your scheme based on the personnel is not working as designed.  Get it!  Adjust the scheme to what fits with the skill set of your players... it is that simple. 

Carolina is going through the same dam thing with their OC...  Both of these guys seem to think that better execution will fix everything - and to an extent it will but you need the horses - yet fail to recognize the limitations of their players.  

If I made the mistake of hiring either of these guys I would have set the expectations up front, i..e, I want to be a quick passing team that uses PA for longer chunk plays, or I want to be a physical run team, etc.  When they failed to deliver, I would have pulled them aside and clearly stated that what they are doing is not working and they need to adjust... if they did not, I would fire them.  This is how I managed 300mm business... no BS, no excuses, perform of get out! 

What we have with both teams is NO O identity, period, and that falls squarely on the HC who should have defined it and seems  to have deferred it to their OCs... 

So maybe it not just our OC or theirs it maybe a problem with the HC.... 

It does feel like the Panthers offensive identity is "boy genius OC", which hasn't worked so well.

I think the fact our primary back with CMC injured has trouble catching the ball is really, really hurting our scheme.  He has dropped an astonishing 26% of passes thrown his way. 

Hopefully the focus on the run will help.
