What did he adapt at USC when he was an offensive analyst? He is running basically the same offense in Washington that he did in AZ. It looks a bit different because of the QB executing it.
Perfectly stated.
I'm not a big Monti fan but I disagree with this. The Cards are getting lots of playing time/production from their last 2 draft classes. I know a lot of that is based on the Cards lack of overall talent but they were right there playing for a playoff spot with what has to be one of the youngest rosters, PT wise, in the league. I know they're not playing at great levels but these guys are going to continue to improve. Plus, his 2 biggest defensive players drafted have been very limited by injury. They will improve with health and PT as well.
Let me rephrase. He was informed by his experience at USC, and adapted his offense with his time there. His route trees now are much more complex and logical. With Hop, the route tree was simplistic. The playbook was also not that deep. You can say that's K1, won't argue that because we don't know, but in Washington the offensive concepts are more varied and open than they were here.
I think the issue is that this board is so used to Kyler fights that it doesn't know what to do when nobody is defending him. Kyler has choked again down the stretch. There is no denying it. So the only thing left to do is blame him with more conviction and hyperbole.
Well, when you put it THAT way ...
Plenty of people have been arguing that the rebuild looks mediocre at best so far… and have been doing so for a while.
I know for my part, my recent angst is coming from the idea that bringing Kyler back for next season is a fait accompli. That would be a level of institutional ineptitude I cannot abide.
While I indicated a number of Murray faults, I failed to mention I thought he threw better from the pocket. If they can improve the Oline, the receiver corps and get him to slide, opening throwing lanes, Murray could take a big step forward. Petzing deserves some of the criticism, but was far from a disaster.
Yes, if Kyler were a different player the results would be different.
It's gonna happen. They will point to improvements in statistical categories to justify it.
Hi Harry, what's your take on Kyler not attempting passes beyond 20 yds?
No receiver speed. Not enough time to throw to let this group get there. It also accounts for the lack of double move routes by the receivers.
Admittedly I haven't watched every WC game this year but the first thing that jumped out to me was it seemed like he's using more pre-snap motion. But that could be because his new QB can use that to their advantage. Who knows.
So the alternative is keeping bad players, coaches and front office personnel?
No accountability for Kyler at all? lol
Let's start with Petzing and see how it goes.
Say we fire Petzing. What hot commodity will take the job working for a defensive head coach with an 11-22 record and a fair chance of getting fired at the end of the 2025-26 season? Or for a franchise that fired the previous guy after putting in a top 12 finish in scoring and yardage?
Yep. And then we’ll hear how it takes time to learn a new system, all along telling us how great it looks in training camp and pissing away another year.
Any off season narrative should be taken with the biggest pinch of salt in history.
