Mortensen: Offensive Staff Changes Likely Coming

Don’t get me wrong, I’d be thrilled with either, but Norv has put the whole thing together at a very high level before. He’s had offenses that were not only prolific scoring wise, but also fantastic QBs (Aikman, Brees, Rivers, etc.) And some all-time RBs in Emmit and Tomlinson. Plus he’s had some HOF TEs involved.

I think Norv and Rex would be a great fit too. Norv will run it, he’ll get Keller involved, and he’ll throw it down field to big WRs. He’ll unlock this bad boy.

I think Sanchez will make the leap under McDaniels and will get up and down the field, but I don’t know if he’ll get the run involved and I don’t know if he’ll score points.

Great news

is a better choice than McDaniels for sure but I would like Clements over both of them. Any of the three is better than the garbage we have now and I really hope we go out of the organization and not give the job to Callahan.

It is also very important to hire a top QB coach and fire that stiff Cavanagh who has been a failure everywhere he has been. Turn over the entire offensive staff with the possible exception of keeping Callahan as OLine coach and nothing more. When an offense is as bad as ours it is very important to go outside the organization.

We also must let the new coordinator have full reign of the offense and in effect be the head coach of the offense. A guy like Turner has been in the league a long time so Rex would probably lay off him versus a young guy like Mcdaniels who Rex will most likely not trust fully.By the way whose idea was it to give Schottenheimer a two year extension at good money.

The one thing that concerns me is that Woody is very frugal and may not want to eat the money owed to Schottenheimer and that might be why he comes back.

can also free Rex to start calling the defense again because i dont think Pettine has been as good as Rex was.

what about the BIG D its like swiis cheese

we need to change it up clearly this shotty experiment has got to end

How many timeouts were wasted because of an issue with the play called over the last couple seasons? How many balls bounced off a receiver or back’s helmet because they never looked for the ball before finishing their assigned route? This team never progresses beyond the play called, there’s no second effort, poor communication, the slot receivers fade if they can’t get open in the first 10 yards. There’s never a plan B or C beyond dumping the ball with a quick shuffle pass to the back. And with our line so unreliable, shouldn’t ever receiver be looking to break from a route if it’s covered? I get that Sanchez is still developing and with coordinators today, everything is scripted against percentages, but could we get a modicum of play-calling? We need a lot more than just a new OC, but it’s a start.
