Perhaps the first step would be to realize that he doesn't have Dan Marino or a stout run blocking OLine and not abandon the run even when it's working making the Oline look worse than they are on gameday.
Yeah, I honestly think Schotty is an average OC, who is just terrible at talent evaluation. The best example of this is probably the first few weeks of the 2012 season:
-using 4 or 5 WR sets, even though the receivers sucked
-starting Daryl Richardson over Stacy, Cunningham, and Pead
-asking Cook to block at all
-running Tavon Austin on curl routes
He eventually went back to more of a smashmouth run game approach, but it should not take the OC 4 weeks to recognize the strengths of his own players. If they bring in a new QB, are we going to have to watch Schotty try to figure out that QB's strengths and weaknesses for half the season?
