Maybe if we're going to run the ZBS we need to invest in the top ZBS OL coaches around? |
Please consider that maybe those guys were just not available when Allen was made HC.
It takes time to build a staff and roster the way you want it in the NFL. |
idk i thought most hc's before they are hired present their list of OC's and DC's to the GM/owner

Sure they do. But a league full of positions are filled so it doesn't mean you can get the guys you truly want. We could pine all we want for Lebeau to be our DC, but that doesn't mean it's going to happen.
You have to choose from the available pool. And since Allen was hired late, a limited pool was even more limited. Like I said it takes time to build the staff you truly want. |

They might be available now, or at the end of the season |

Exactly.
I don't believe that our Gm and HC are all set with staff and won't be rturning any of that over. Time will tell, and time it will take. |

Oh god no. If we reshuffle, the line will be more confused than they already are. That defense will have a field day. |

Imo most overvalue last years run blocking. We sucked pretty much the 2nd half of the season. The ZBS isn't a bad scheme, one can be succesfull with it, but it will take time to make the transition.
For me there was no reason to switch, but i much rather have our HC being able to pick a system he believes in and work together with the GM to find the players and coaches for that, then the old situation.

To be fair the execution will get better with in time, very rarely does a team execute a new system with new players perfectly from day 1. Especially a system like the ZBS. Also I believe McFadden can be succesful but so can alot of cheaper backs.
It's not like Dennis Allen had a bunch of up and coming prospects to choose from. He was the last HC hired if im not mistaken leaving him with a dried up pool.
I would give Knapp another year, I am a fan of the ZBS.
But Tarver has this D playing like hot crap, He is just as bad as Bresnehan, we need a real DC next year. |
We still had Saunders on the staff... |
Yeah, but he didn't fit the scheme our hc (and gm?) wanted. I much rather suck it up for a transition year but end up with the scheme our fo wants, rather then keep something what they don't believe in.

-It was still better than this year.
-The running game greatly suffered when Bush wore down after a few starts.
-Bush doesn't offer much ability to run off tackle, making the running game too predictable.

I don't hear fans blaming McFadden. He is simply miscast in this system. The onus is on the coordinator & HC to put players in the best situation to be successful. period. Everyone knows DMC can play.
Although I absolutely agree with those of us who are holding Knapp/DA/McKenzie responsible in that order, with all due respect it is a gross exaggeration that Wiz had a great season at LG in 2011. It's another one of those things that is commonly said around here that statistically isn't true. The facts are Wiz had a season atypical of a rookie. While Wiz did show promise he was hardly a world beater, although he does get credit for playing through a torn labrum which obviously contributed to his so-so play. All offseason I accurately predicted that he would be moved to OC where I still think that, IF healthy, he can eventually develop into a fireplug in the middle.
Satele was never a leader for the Raiders. Did you possibly mean to say starter?
Imo, Bruce Campbell had little chance of developing. He needs to be with a team DEEP at OL that has the patience to help him understand pro-level blocking concepts. Barksdale was a decent risk that simply didn't pan out.

Then DA is even a worst HC then I thought. Why get rid of AL Saunders for Knapp, if DA never wanted Knapp in the first place?
So DA can fire Knapp next year? Why not wait a year and get the OC he wanted |

i think da wanted knapp cause he didnt know any better. i also question how the zbs is so hard to stop. maybe if you mix it up and run psb then switch to zone. makes me think about Reg in a different light. why did reg think knapp was a ok choice for oc. DA doesnt offer the contracts he just offers the suggestions.

+1.
Wiz wore down last year. Everyone likes to blame Bush, but the Oline became a little suspect in run blocking late last year. The Oline simply isn't that good, or deep for that matter.
Veldheer and Wiz are two nice pieces. Bergstrom is a question mark. Everyone else is run of the mill and could be replaced.

It's gonna happen when opposing defenses can focus on stopping inside runs all game long because the RB can't run to the outside.
Maybe the oline didn't play as well as they did at the start of the season but there's no question in my mind Bush was the main issue. Anyone watching the games last season could see he had no explosion left in his legs past his 4th game as the featured back.
