A college team should do this for a game. Just sell 100 tickets for the chance to vote on plays. Each down you get a selection of 3 plays, the plurality wins. They could sell those tickets for a lot of money.
The offense needs significant improvement (though wasn't there a game or two where BoB was coordinating the offense?). But what about special teams, which was horrible under Marciano and now still horrible under Izzo. Why is the ST always so bad... the lack of talent and depth? Or the lack of attention and focus on this component of the team?
Firing Rick Smith. He's the clown behind the curtain. If you're going to fire a coach because of the offense's performance then you have to fire O'Brien. It's his offense, his assistants, his responsibility. This move is just like every other coaching move where an assistant gets scapegoated for someone else's mistakes so the head coach can continue. Lame.
Clearly, this is the right call, it's time to move on. When a head coach has to take over offensive play calling duties during the middle of the season I guess your lucky he is your best friend.
Everyone is focused on Godsey being a scapegoat, not at fault, not the problem... maybe the solution wasn't firing him... it is who they bring in.
How is Godsey not being fired of his own (lack of) merit? Offense regressed. Offense hasn't developed players. Offense continually has the same bad gameplan. Offense given every tool in the world, offense bottoms out. 3 year time frame, like everything got worse and worse... Brock's only been here a year. Godsey for 3 and at no point has it resembled New England offense or like...a pro offense. I'm not defending Brock at all, his ax will fall in time. Godsey's release was well deserved and probably a year late to boot.
5 candidates to replace George Godsey as Texans Offensive Coordinator http://texanswire.usatoday.com/2017...eorge-godsey-as-texans-offensive-coordinator/
I'd be all for getting Chip Kelly...just not sure if OBrien would be on board with changing the offense and losing so much control. Would be impressed with OB if he actually relinquished that much control. And if somehow, Watson drops to the Texans in the first round...would be a great way to head into 2017.
Isn't Watson projected to be 4th best QB in this years draft? If that's the case, he should be available when the Texans pick, but I doubt they'll take him. Doesn't fit in what obrien looks for in a QB.
Only thing is his Eagle teams were last in TOP every year he was there; without him this year, Eagles were first in TOP. It would be really bad for our defense
Is that how we ended up with guys like Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mallett, Brian Hoyer, Brock Osweiler, Tom Savage... Guys who "look the part".
I agree. I like obrien as a head coach but he's proven to be not good at evaluating talent. He wants a smart QB that can play in the pocket. Watson is more of a dual threat.
