WHAT????
A coach NOT sharing all the truth with the fanbase?

Inconsistent QB play is always going to get you less than desirable results in the RZ.

A lot of what we are seeing in the offense in the first year is a vetting process for Gruden this year to really find out what pieces we have here and what pieces need to be replaced.

Hopeful he realizes the entire right side of the Oline and we need another TE are the obvious.

To Hell with Gruden's schemes! I want to win now, this week, against Dallas. If it takes flea-flickers, Statue of Liberty plays, whatever, do it. I do not want to see another disaster on National TV - especially against Dallas.

I'm not a fan of the way he makes negative comments about good players without finding creative ways to help them make something happen in the Red Zone. He should look in the mirror. That's where he'll find some of the team's Red Zone problems.

What negative comments about what good players?

As for "finding creative ways," Gruden has (I think more than necessary) said he needs to be better about scheming. Rare is the instance (I can think of none off hand) where he critiques a player w/out saying, essentially, "the buck stops here."

The team is 2-5 and its two wins are against Jax and Tenn., nobody on this team is above criticism right now. Players who drop balls, miss blocks, or commit turnovers in the redzone ought to be called out generically in the media session and very, very specifically and pointedly in team meetings.

A little accountability never hurt anybody except f-ups.

lol...ok ok, yes I want to win now too. Im just trying to give you an explination of why the offense is struggling in general. Its tough for any 1st year head coach to win right away.

I commented earlier in the week that the red zone offense sucked this weekend, Id like to see Reed used more and Roberts/Djax in motion pre snap more to get their speed going in the small space of the red zone.

Colt McCoy has proven to be our QB of the future. He's almost as good as Pat White. Problem solved.

If RG12 comes back....all is well
If RG13 comes back....well..
...and stay healthy

lol @ Pat White - another of this board's cause célèbre who is currently unemployed.

If only he, the other Colt, Marko Mitchell, Rob Jackson and Lache Seastrunk were still here. 7-0 baby.

Clark is done, Pittsburg wouldnt have let him go. His role is more a leadership void for the young guys.

We need to get serious about both safety positions, Id still look in the draft mid round and Id grab a legit starter in FA at preferable Free safety.

[JoeRedskin]

Wait, there is a RT worse than Polumbus?!? Wow.

Sorry, I used to stick up for the guy as being a middle of the pack RT. I can't even justify a "below average RT" rating anymore. He is a freaking turnstile this season - and barely that good.

[Lotus]

Polumbus is not bad as a run blocker. It's only as a pass blocker that he is an utter disaster.

To me, Compton is the real problem. We brought Polumbus in as a stopgap until Compton got ready. Compton should have sent Polumbus to the bench long ago.

Polumbus' failures are Compton's failures.
