I pretty much hate all our new coaching picks except for Solari which I'm luke warm on. Write it down, take a picture. I'm cool with it.
Some have implied if not speculated Bevell was in essence too nice, ultimately not able to keep Wilson strictly adhering to fundamentals such as throwing on time at the end of his initial drop backs and keeping more within the structure of the offense. That line of thinking says Schottenheimer will be the opposite, an intense yeller who will ride Wilson much harder.

The Eagles and Doug Pederson came up with a scheme and a series of plays that maximized Nick Foles' abilities and seemingly gave their offense a number of creative options on every play.
Who wants to tell him that the Eagles used...bubble screens?
LOL! Nooooooo!
Yep.
But the difference is that they used well-blocked bubble screens. They actually have an OL, blocking TE's, and WR's who can block.
The downfield and lateral blocking is something that really took a nosedive on this team since 2014, and nobody's been talking about it.

If he is the wimpy type that can't handle it and tunes people out that know better
then maybe he is not going to get any better than last year.

OMG. "If Russell is the Wimpy type that tunes people out who know better..."
What, like fans?
Schottenheimer will be just fine. Firing Cable and hiring Solari is the the big change that we needed. Our struggles all came down to the offensive line.
People want to say that "Everyone warned us about Bevell," but we got to 2 Superbowls and won one of them.
"The INT" was on several people, and Ricardo Lockette must take partial responsibility for not going hard to the ball. It was his route, and Malcolm was his DB to beat to the ball.
But replacing Bevell will help this team get past that play. That's why it had to be done. Like someone mentioned earlier, if not for Blair Walsh, we would have been 11-5. We have never been a bad team under Pete. Yet people are ready to fire him and can his new OC.
You can't evaluate Schottenheimer based solely on hand picked stats. What about being a top 10 running game for 3 years? And Top 10 in rushing touchdowns for 4?
If you're going to judge the man, you have to take in to account the talent he had to work with. Marc Sanchez in NY. Some random QB in Georgia that was replaced by a rookie. I can't even remember the carousel he had at St Louis. But they managed to beat us.
We can learn from the past, but it's difficult to base the future solely on a few stats. Brian has never had a QB the caliber of Russell Wilson. And his dad was one of the best at putting together a running game to ever coach in the NFL.
All Russell needs is some blocking, and a run game, and he will be MVP. He was almost MVP without them. RW is one of those rare talents at QB, that who his OC is, isn't nearly as important as, who is Oline Coach is.
Tom Brady had some struggles a while back, until Belicheck talked his old Oline coach (Dante Scarnecchia) out of retirement, then his production skyrocketed again. The same is true for Russell.
How do you know he would have chosen Seattle over Minne???zchurch74":3vdang3y said:Just read that. This is BS. He could of made our offense fun again. Pete and Jon screwed the pooch on rushing to hire Shotty

I like how the Bevell lovers are fine blaming one player some losses, but gods rid the notion of blaming one coach for some losses. It's particularly funny when one considers the fact that the OC has a bigger hand in the outcome of games than any player on the field except for the QB.ivotuk":1djl28rv said:But replacing Bevell will help this team get past that play.

The former Browns OC and Eagles QB coach?
How do people know this is the guy that created the Eagles offense?
