Aside from DA is anyone really happy with Kubiak's play calling?
It’s not some big mystery…. The same thing happens to the 49er offense when they have no offensive weapons available on game day. (But they do manage to win a few of them because Shanahan isn’t Just a play caller). Our system and play caller are totally limited by a lack of playmakers and a HC that wants to play safe but dumb situational football on offense as a philosophy.
I said at the beginning of the season that in this system, we could survive a mediocre OLine…. But not that lack of offensive weapons and depth there.
No one is buying your play action when they don’t fear your receiving corps. No one is chasing your motions when your TE is no threat. No one is falling for an end around when you cant set an edge with a WR.
Now…. At the time…. I had no idea we’d be dealing with so many losses in both areas. But I still think that if we had more weapons on offense, and less influence from the HC…. The offense would be much better.
