Pretty ugly and discouraging performance so far. The team just doesn't look good enough right now. On either side of the ball. I have no idea what the answers are. But at least on the offensive side of the ball, I think as big a problem as any other is the play calling and scheme. I never thought I'd be saying that about McVay, but here we are. We know this team has issues. Particularly on the offensive line. But it is up to the coaching staff to scheme around weaknesses as much as possible and maximize strengths. To put players in a position to succeed. And we have some elite offensive weapons here to scheme to. McVay just hasn't done that. In fact, he seems to make the same errors over and over.
Every team and player will have down years. Coaches are no different. McVay is young and learning. I am hopeful he will improve. I still think he is a good coach and that we are in good hands. I would not move on from him. And we have some good pieces in place for the future. But going forward we need better...
I also would not discount the impact losing so many coaches on the staff has had. McVay has a very large coaching tree for someone his age. That leaves a hole.
