Fox runs the stalest offense in football.


Awesomeness!!

Recommended Posts

I don't know why I didn't notice it sooner (like years ago). I noticed how we for the most part run like 5 plays all game. We change tha play ever so slighty that so it doesn't mirror the or original, but if you pay attention you can tell. The sweeps, the handoffs, the smoke passes to Smitty, and crossing patterns with the slot recievers. I don't know if its Jeff Davidson, or Fox, but my god.........

While the play calling can be predictable on certain situations, quick out to smitty on second and long, draw play on third and 15+, our playbook is actually rather large and allows for a pretty varied offense. It's just a conservative execution in those situations that gives you the impression thats its stale.

Two years ago, when we had at least the threat of a passing attack, we were among the top 10 in the NLF in points per game at 25.9 points per game. Last year, once we replaced our QB, the offense started to look like it did in 2008. If the offense does that well this year, I don't care if they run only one play.

Fox's O is not as stale and boring as your threads.

How many teams in the NFL run trick plays regularly or a spread or triple-option offense? None I can think of.

Some of the more electric teams I can think of (Colts and Saints for example) put it in the air a lot, but there is no trickery to it. Great QB's who get great protection and time to make the throws downfield.

I like our offense - just wish we had more weapons at receiver.

    • There's only two paths to that happening. First is that Theilen misses a significant chunk of the season, the other is that XL and Coker both either flop or have injuries themselves. I love the pickup of Renfrow as I think he'll be great in the locker/film room for all the young guys while giving us a natural replacement of Thielen in the WR room next year to be the wiley old vet in the room. But he has almost no path to getting snaps this year unless the guys ahead of him have injuries or just suck.  Assuming he makes he squad, he's more likely to be inactive more often than he's active on game days.   And he's not the best route runner on the team, that's still Thielen, who even at this point in his career is still one of the better route runners in the league.
    • I'll go ahead and say it because the average poster is too scared to say it.  Hunter Renfrow is the best route runner on the team.  He will catch more balls than a couple of those dudes added together.  It's Short King season!   Get on the wagon while there are still seats available! 
    • But that's the WR4 this year, we only have one year left of Thielen. If Coker has injury issues and/or regresses and shows why he went undrafted, unless Horn ends up REALLY living up to the minicamp hype, we'd actually end up in need of another good WR option next offseason again. I love the potential of T-Mac, XL, Coker, Horn as our 1-4 next year and into the future. And while I of course have a million percent belief that T-Mac is going to be that guy for us, it's still a big year for the rest of the WR room to prove we're set at the position for the foreseeable future once Thielen is gone after the season.
