Ron Turner is the worst OC I've ever seen. And I've seen John Shoop. His playcalling goes beyond "conservative" to maddeningly stupid.<BR/><BR/>No draws, no play action, no shotgun, no routes beyond the skinny post, five and outs, and poorly designed screens. No counters, no offtackles. Just dive left, dive right, pass short left, pass short right, and an occasional seam route to Berrian or a tight end.<BR/><BR/>And we're going to fix the problem by replacing him with a guy who couldn't succeed in Denver with a better running game, better receivers, and a better coordinator?<BR/><BR/>Fine...Rex needed to go...but the fact is, Griese is a bandage over the axe wound that is Turner's playcalling, and we are going to continue hemmorraghing points at the QB position until we fix what's actually wrong with our offense (a drooling tard at OC)Chris Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12152452626681072765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-315897632712251022007-09-26T21:44:00.000-07:002007-09-26T21:44:00.000-07:00I'm kind of indifferent in re: benching Grossman. ...I'm kind of indifferent in re: benching Grossman. I'll actually use a term that Jay Mariotti used, because it actually made sense. Brian Griese is just a "Band-Aid".<BR/><BR/>The way that guy argued for Grossman was terrible though. You nailed it.Derpsaucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08881690667013390019noreply@blogger.com
