The record is not surprising, but the level of offensive ineptitude is.
Obviously, the majority of the blame for the woeful offense is the lack of talent, but I am concerned by the lack of adjustments that the offense makes despite, what appears to my untrained eye, the same game plan by every defense WF sees. From the ULM game on, teams have killed WF and caused turnovers via blitzing on the edges. particularly on the QB's backside. Even so, WF continues to use offensive sets where the o-line gets little or no help with outside pass rushers. Obviously, it would be great to have OTs that don't get beat. It has been painfully obvious that is not the case; yet, WF still run schemes that leave the OTs with little or no help. That scheme did not work in week 1, and it's still not working in week 7. How about a maximum protect scheme that keep TEs and FBs in to protect? How about scrapping the delayed run play out of the shotgun for more quic hitting run plays? Realize that a lot of this trying to make chicken salad out of chicken **** and it's wise to defer to the judgment of those that spend all day with team and studying film, but when an offense is this bad (when an argument could be made that WF should just run the kneel-down on offense) and there is no sign of improvement, coaching has to take some of the blame.
With all that said, I remain completely confident in the Clawson hire. He has found success everywhere; he is a tireless recruiter, he is charismatic. He will win at WF. Not surprisingly, he is still making adjustments with a short and young roster. The future will be better.
