Darell Bevell is so effing bad
There was an article written I can't seem to find but it pointed out how the Offense is as plain as a HS offense and there is literally 0 things done to help receivers get open
Not to mention in the 4th quarter literally every single drive was Run, Run, PA pass
How dude still is employed by the Seahawks baffles me, if the team has zero problems cutting players who are not performing they seem to struggle holding their assistant coaches to the same standard
Zach Miller
Golden Tate
Percy Harvin
Sidney Rice
Jimmy Graham
All good/great receivers who had average at best seasons because of Bevell
And for once, we agree on something.
I take issue with things Russ does, but, I know his OC does him no favors either.
Last year I tried to point it out, but it was all taken as hate ,but it appears to me, the Seahawks best offense is just let Russ run around, and the receivers run scramble drills. They are awesome when he can do that with them.
I never, ever, ever see a regular 5-7 step drop back, and timed throw in rhythm to a cutting receiver. The long gain to I think Kearse last week, or maybe Lockette, they showed the replay from behind Russ, the routes were nothing, NOTHING at all, and he scrambles, and dude takes off, and Russ hits him wide open. Like a 20-25 yard pickup or something like that. They feast off that kind of play.
But straight drop back and let the ball go on a precision/timing route? Never.
Opposite side, Dalton is throwing pretty much everything to a timed route to AJ, or Marvin, Sanu, etc. And if it's not there, he checks down to Gio, or jump balls to Eifert. But the Cincy OC schemes his guys open, at the right times for each of them, Dalton just has to spot them and fire quickly.
It's like they want Russ to just play playground ball every series, and I truly do not get that.
