Is PC the real problem with offense? (1 Viewer)

I think that DA is holding offense back. From 1st half to beginning of 3rd quarter Saints were aggressive on offense and defense. After that they were so conservative they nearly let Tampa back in the game. On offense no receivers, bunched line trying to run up the middle on 1st and 2nd down having to throw on 3rd and long.

You're only fixing maybe 25% of the problem canning pete in the offseason.

Yep. 100%. DA called those plays. It’s not the OC’s job to call plays. Good job figuring that out.

I think DA is a defensive-minded coach and wants to rely on low-risk offensive plays and let the defense drive the game.

Payton was the exact opposite. Payton believed that if you scored enough points - defense only needs to be competent.

Payton found his most success when he finally let go of trying to outsource everyone and handed his defense over to someone and allowed them to do their thing.

Allen needs to do the same thing. I don’t know if he’s telling Pete to get conservative but it doesn’t take a genius to see he prefers to have the defense drive the train.

You really won't know much until you make a change at coaching.

I think we should keep PC another season

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

Very much yes

He just now figured out that putting Carr under center and using play action is actually effective. After a dozen games? Yup, he is the problem.

Why? Just for continuity ?

I'm not saying PC doesn't call plays, I just think DA has control of what plays can be called during game.

If this offseason is anything like last offseason, the options may be limited anyway - unless they want to promote Ronald Curry.

Not many young, energetic OCs looking to play with an old school defensive-minded coach.

Because it don't matter if you keep DA as HC

What sucks for Pete is he's the only part of "the problem" that can be moved on from contractually.

There's a long string of OCs that haven't been able to develop a winning game plan w/Carr. PC is just the latest, which means he's not an elite OC, but it's unknown whether he's a bad OC.

Carr is stuck here.

DA is the guy at the office that keeps getting chances he doesn't deserve because he has "the look".
