Best condensed explanation why Kliff's offense might be having problems schematically

Forget about T. J. Houshmandzadeh's ramblings at the beginning, but rather listen to former DB Orlando Scandrick at 1:39 talk about why he believes Kliff's 'college' offense is not working

Really good analysis. Sad that we are that predictable.

Dudes talking like we line up in 2 x 2 10 personnel all the time. Literally says it towards the end "only so much you can do out of 2 x 2".

Well yeah, that's why we rarely do it.

A lot of people that comment on our offense have barely watch it.

Simple translation the offense is very ordinary and predictable.
And many of us saw that by midway through 2019. So, if we’re seeing it, DC’s on every team are seeing it. The only reason we had any success early on was just the raw talent of Murray. If I’m Kyler, I don’t suit up again until Kliff is gone. If I had season tickets, I wouldn’t have them again until KK is gone.

Exactly which is why it was so confusing to extend Kliff last year if the entire NFL could figure out Kliff’s offense

Just as the VAST majority us have been saying.. what’s wild to me is the few on this board that have defended his offensive scheme. Those few voices have gotten noticeably quieter since the SF game though… but what’s funny is nothing was different even before that game!

Kliff Kingsbury has intelligence of an average dude. No way he should be head coach of NFL. College is where he should have been left for dead from a football perspective. Thanks Keim.

It is almost like Keim tried to hire Kliff so he could just toy with Kliff....To be brutally honest, Keim never had Cardinals best interest in mind. Just self interest to survive.

Housh is of course saying it's why we're always good on the first drive, it's exact opposite.

But I said this like 6-8 weeks ago after watching some video stuff on youtube that included Frank Sanders and another ex NFL player. Sanders was very clear, it was after the first Seattle loss he said I don't think Kliff ever figured out what Pete Carroll and Seattle was doing on defense they were playing wide so the middle was open but Kliff's offense is trying to spread you out and go wide so they never figured out the middle was wide open. And the few times Kyler tried to go to the middle Seattle got pressure up the middle because the interior OL is so bad and Kyler had to move and it took away the timing.

I mean when a bunch of ex NFL WR's and DB's, one of whom played for the Cards and clearly (Sanders) still follows the team, are all saying the same stuff I pay attention.

The reason we stay the course:

Bidwill - "How much money did I make this season?"
"Really, that much!"
"Well, that's great, no reason to ruin a good thing by making any unnecessary changes. Keep up the good work everyone!"
