I'm not sold at all that Schotty has a satisfactory product.
There are huge issues with his play calling:
- Zero clock management. It's like he's completely unaware of the clock. Down 2 scores with 3 minutes left? Run up the middle for 3 yards. He doesn't have a 2 minute drill worked out. If he adjusted at halftime to what he's seen and scripted a 2 minute drill, Rams could have won games they lost.
- The interception that killed our playoff hopes I blame Schotty 90% and Hill 10%. I don't know if any QB sees that defender but I do know that any OC can see that passing with the playoff hope and game on the line on 2nd down with Rams' RB talent and not good O line is a terrible call.
- He still is unable to get TA the ball consistently in a manner that will result in big gains. It's better. He went from no plays to 2 plays. Maybe next season he will have 3 or 4?
I will say that his scripted opening drives are sometimes very nice. After that? Not much. BETTER than he has been but not good. Or is it just that Hill changes his plays so much that it's looking better?
I have no idea whether it's Schotty or Fisher who keeps giving up possessions at the end of the first half, but that's unforgivable.
People want to talk about execution but I see that even when they are executing, Schotty doesn't make good calls consistently.
In the end though, with solid QB play and O line improvements, this team could still win a lot with Schotty. They're that good IMHO.
