I'm convinced Herm's scheme would have worked great in the '70s, but even his run game is unimaginative. The way the rules are set up the passing game is wide open both offensively and defensively. He'd rather sit back on defense. His goal on offense is to get to 14 and hope that's enough. That doesn't work when most of your possessions are three and out. He's leaving the defense on the field and keeping his offense off the field.

I don't see how we are served by having our young players indoctrinated in this system one game longer. We are learning some bad habits. Much like we had to reeducate everyone after being in Grob's defense, we are going to have to reeducate everyone how to play football again after this guy is gone. Is it smart to put out a young quarterback into a system in which it is impossible to succeed? Its no surprise that Croyle is failing with the conservative predictable system. We bring in Chan Gailey to supposedly open up the offense a bit, but are taking out half the playbook. It got to end and end now.
