I'll say it: I've seen essentially zero of what has repeatedly been promised. First, we didn't have the athletes and had to make do. Fortunately, we had Braxton and Guiton. We were told that we'd see a more open and effective offense in 2013. We didn't. Instead, we relied on the Braxton and Carlos show (which was a good idea)... except when we inexplicably didn't (which was a bad idea). When we went away from running inside behind an historically good line, the offense bogged down and everyone stood around waiting to see if Braxton pulled us back on track. We've relied on the Braxton fifty yard run and sixty yard pass to the detriment of developing the juggernaut offense that was promised. Maybe we'll still see it but up to now I haven't nor have I seen any sort of in-game offensive adjustments like you'd expect from a coach purported to be as talented as Herman. If anything, I've seen, more than once, negative adjustments in deciding to go away from what was working in favor of something that never has. So, if you want to be a power team, fine. That worked with Braxton and Carlos and could maybe work again to some degree with JT and the RB stable, if the OL gets halfway sorted out. If not, if you want to run the electric offense that's been hyped to death the last two-plus years, then let's fcuking see it. Hit the tight-end. Throw a slant. Throw a screen. Do something to (I don't even want to type this because it's an empty cliche at this point) "get your playmakers into space so they can make plays". Otherwise, stop fcuking talking about it in every interview. Everyone runs some sort of spread offense now. There's nothing special about it any more and there's no excuse for the Commodore 64 version I keep seeing out there. You have the athletes now. Now it's on you.
