Lack of big plays.

The lack of big explosive plays is why this team will never be anything. We didnt have one pass play more than 10 yards I think.

McKinnon and Ellison had plays over 10. Perhaps Patterson. But yeah when Willie Beavers is your tackle you're not going to be throwing many bombs.Norv Zimmer wrote:The lack of big explosive plays is why this team will never be anything. We didnt have one pass play more than 10 yards I think.
I miss Norv. I am convinced this season would be going much better with Hill and someone off the scrap heap running Turner's system than we are now. We traded for Sam, and tried to revamp the whole offense to fit what he can and can't do...its throwing good money after bad and compounding one mistake with another. Ugh. Same old Vikings.Maelstrom88 wrote:The oline is bad but that is not an excuse for NEVER taking a shot. Keep a TE, FB, and/ or the HB and throw it deep on a sluggo or hook n go. This is the Shurmur/ Bradford offense. I've watched it for years.
And Willie Beavers is Anthony Munoz compared to TJ Turnstyle!S197 wrote: McKinnon and Ellison had plays over 10. Perhaps Patterson. But yeah when Willie Beavers is your tackle you're not going to be throwing many bombs.
I agree the offense has to take some shots. Bradford can make the throws and the receivers are there. But this offense oftentimes feels like the Childress "play not to lose" style. It drives me crazy.Maelstrom88 wrote:The oline is bad but that is not an excuse for NEVER taking a shot. Keep a TE, FB, and/ or the HB and throw it deep on a sluggo or hook n go.

BTW, I don't know how others feel but I thought the OL looked bad even on good plays. For example, anyone running the ball behind this OL has to make most of the yardage by himself. Here's a good example. A 22 yard gain but still pretty bad blocking...

He's a 36 year old pocket QB!!! You're going to sit there and tell me he is mobile? At least sam is younger. Hill is about to croak.Nunin wrote:i gotta disagree that hill is 'way less mobile' than sam. that's actually funny. i think sam has been about as imobile as they come.
