I have suspected that route running hasn't been up to par before I figured Love lost it
such potential for that crew of WRs last year, and then they don't pay attention to detail this year? thought they already arrived or what?
I would so like it if Higgins could be gathered out of cincinnati...
we need at least 2 more with the fire that Reed played with. I have a feeling Doubs is done with football
Watson 2.0?
T. Higgins history: Very High Risk @ DraftKings
Yeah, but maybe all we need is one year. Look what happened to Jones. He makes it through one entire season of his seven in GB, goes to MN (where all of us took bets that he'd get hurt), and plays every game. Sometimes, you just don't know.
(Not that I'm advocating for signing a guy on the hope he doesn't get injured, but it's just the uncertainty of it all.)
A Jones may have played i every game (is that correct?) but he sat a lot during games due to injuries. They also had Akers so he didn't need to be a bell cow.

Looks like an every other year thing with him since 2020.
Wish the chart had games played also.

"The Packers offense was never in sync. It felt like they never married the running game with the passing game." - Gary Ellerson
This post piggy-backs on my posting of our PFF scores in the "Offseason" thread, and the subsequent posts bemoaning our lack of talent. The PFF grades, and Andy Herman's grades are largely based on the player winning their "on-on-one", not necessarily on the outcome of the play. Listening to Mike Wahle the past couple years take on our team is this. MLF is a great play-caller and scheme guy, but the team lacks in individual position fundamentals and technique. This takes me back to Bobby Knight who said that coaches can generally be grouped into two groups; "surprise and change" or "simplicity and execution" in their philosophy. Wahle's feeling is that if you are going to be a "draft and develop" organization, you are better off with "simplicity and execution" because it emphasizes player development. A great coaching challenge is how much practice time do you devote to "the whole" as opposed to "the parts". There has to be a "sweet spot" where you get enough of both. I really don't know enough about football coaching to know which NFL coaches are in which camp, but there are a couple of clues.
For all we liked to rag of McCarthy for "pad level", this is what he was really saying was "it is all about winning your one-on-one with fundamentals. Tony Romo said he studied the great passing offenses and marveled at how simple MM's was. There was no "scheming up" to get guys open, they had to use technique to get open. Lombardi used to tell his players "I don't care what the scoreboard says, if you didn't beat the man in front of you, you didn't do anything". Heard Jace Sternberger on a podcast being asked the difference between playing in GB and Pittsburgh. He said in GB it was about play details and adjustments based on coverages, etc. In Pittsburgh it was about being more physical than your opponent, so we can assume Tomlin is in the "simplicity and execution" camp.
This is not to say that "surprise and change" coaches can't or don't win. Jim Valvano was definitely in that camp and won a National Championship. The best coaches have probably found that happy-medium between the two. I assume in football the fundamentals fall more on the position coaches, if they are given sufficient practice time, and it is an emphasis from the head coach. So by position group we see development in defensive backs and LBers, not in our frontage, which is why that position coach was let go. On offense the only groups where we saw overall improvement, or least maintenance was RB and TE.
Sorry if I rambled, just some thoughts. Again, we don't know what we don't know, but can hope that we get better individually going into next season.

Football is a very simple game. Whoever blocks & tackles best, wins.
