But the point is that when offense has the ball, the mindset has to be to score. Two years ago, PC alluded to special teams / punting and improving field position through multiple 3 and outs- leading me to believe defense was there to give offense another try at trying.
I don't mind the ground and pound and 11 minutes of boredom. But our goal isn't to score. Bevell may or may not be useless, Russell may or may not be an ineffective game manager but neither of them push until they're dragging bodies in the streets.
RW may model his game after drew brees but not the mindset. Being to many saints games, even when they suck, the saints get on the field to score. Not win the turnover battle, not complete passes, to score. I don't particularly like their brand of football. I like the Hawks but stop thinking about run run pass and punt and what it takes to score.
Aaron Rogers is a scorer, not a qb as well.
RWs interceptions show a crack in the shell. Once we get out of our get 2 yard or bust mode and punt in 4th and 5 into let's score touchdowns. Well use tools better and we won't need 5 seconds of protection from the line to line up a 10 yard pass. Moving the ball 10 yards seems to be DB and RWs second goal. They would rather move 2 yards.
You can't score with our mindset. I did like the long passes. What the hell we had the lead let's take a shot. Cardinals and Rams have to study films too and they're always stacking the box.
If Kearse would have kept sprinting or RW throw a timing pass rather than a visual pass we could have added 7.
