The guy has been through the ringer publicly for his play calling and offensive philosophy with the Steelers....

But I must say.......now I understand why he was so stubborn about not letting number 10 throw down the middle of the field.

I think O’Canad’s offense is designed to fail. You can’t keep running Jet Sweeps as if they are a surprise. You also can’t ignor the middle of the field and expect to succeed or stay ahead of the chains constantly.

If we had just run some jet sweeps yesterday we probs win,

Or don't have WRs run patterns that put multiple opposing D players in the same vicinity.

How come we, as fans, can see these inadequacies as to the coaching staff seems OK with it ?

Yep, Canaduh has no idea how to design a play that has the TE run down the seem clearing the underneath for a crossing route. When you have two guys nearly beside each other, the are also multiple opposing players in the area as well. Idiotic play designs abound with Canaduh

"Kenny, what's the play?"

"Phone Booth on 3. And this time, remember to stack up!! Get all the defenders together and let me laser a throw into a window tighter than a nun's @#$%."

The FO is ok with it as they are fine with participation trophies as long as the money rolls in. Steelers fans watch and buy mediocrity doesn't change that.
 
Hell, the interception Mitch threw in the endzone could have been avoided if the play design had another WR or TE running a deeper route in the middle of the field to hold the safety there as opposed to allowing him to immediately move over to the sideline. I had no problem taking that shot, but you can't let the safety immediately head over without at least thinking about it!

"Because we're varsity players acting below the line like junior varsity, obviously, and don't make splash plays above the line so we wind up below the line and all that."
- Coach Mike

Hey, our coach is terrible but damn, those one-liners keep broadcasters happy and isn't that what REALLY matters?

It seemed like the wide receiver ran the wrong route on that one?
But a good NFL QB needs to be able to see the traffic underneath..

Look, an offensive staff has three key members on it. The OC, the OL coach, and the WR coach.

The OC sets the plays up, tge OL coach sets the blocking scheme, and tge WR coach teaches the patterns and reads of routes… in our history of success, the best years are tied to the best Wr coaches… ours have been in a tailspin since Mann retired then Drake died. Hopefully Jackson turns out good, but the wr fundamentals were a mess here. And this is only his 4th year coaching wrs in the pros… Mann started in like 82… typically when we had a newer wr coach we had an OC with a lot of experience there, like when Montgomery was here, BA was still mostly doing the wr coach job from the oc position…

I just don’t get the feeling that all these guys on this staff are on the same page… and I can’t tell where the problem lies because its a mess…

DKSports had a article about this. The beat writer spoke to Sims and Mitch if the route was correct. It was. It’s the route tree philosophy of the OC. You can see it when you are live at games. I was at the ATL game specifically watching all the receiver trees in Canada’s offense. There are three types…. Go, Rub and DECOY. Pickens was Decoy ALL game.

Its no surprise to see those picks by Tribusky, as Slash says. When you have route trees that intersect or allow targets in the same 5 yard radius, you are going to have more defenders in the same place. No wonder the OL prefers running the ball, knowing the passing concepts is set up to fail no matter how well I block should be the reason to lean on the ground game. But hell, Canada can’t even do that because he loves those friggin‘ jet sweeps.

Right. People were blaming Canada for that first pick. And I’m like wtf it’s two crossing routes. Mitch either has to hit Freiermuth on his break or wait until Sims crosses past Freiermuth. He literally threw it at the exact moment he could not throw it lol

They know Mitch's deficiencies. You aren't going to squeeze them together and make them more proficient. What you can do is not design plays that again don't cram defensive players on a team good at intercepting football's in a close proximity of each other.

It isn't rocket science.

So your saying we can’t run any routes over the middle. 👌 what an offensive guru you’d be lol

You really can't be this dumb can you? I think I was clear in explaining it and Ike lended some info too.

Prime example of your opinion not changing because you have to be right. Then you try to change the meaning of what a poster is saying to try and make yourself more intelligent.

It isn't working.

Our route combinations definitely don’t seem to scheme people open

Kinda like our presnap motion rarely deceives run defenders


Our entire offense looks like a lot of useless window dressing with little substance or identity

You just don’t understand simple football facts. Ravens are playing man on Freiermuth and Sims. If it’s zone Trubisky hit Freiermuth when he crosses into an opening. If it’s man he either has to hit Freiermuth as he breaks or wait until Sims clears and brings his man with him. He literally threw the ball while Sims was right in the same area. That’s not a bad play design it was bad execution.

I understand that concept just fine. But you don't understand that INT Mitch has trouble throwing over the middle so perhaps a play that doesn't put two defenders in close proximity isn't the best play design.

I can't make it more simple for you, perhaps read your own book.
