Yeah, Howard really can't read the read option!!

You are aware that not every run play is a read? Whenever Howard has been asked to read the defensive end to decide whether to hand off on the RB stretch to the boundary vs keeping the ball himself and taking it inside, he has made the wrong read. Seriously, what is with some people on this board not willing to accept even warranted criticism against a player or coach?

Fact is our offense is sputtering because of these two things:

1. Our QB isn't very good
2. Our offensive play calling is less than average. We have dominated them on the ground, yet we continue to let a TURNOVER MACHINE at QB throw the ball down the field. Until they stop the run, why throw it down the field?

Sorry. Maybe its me. So used to seeing posts like that being sarcasm from people who think any criticism or kudos toward a team/player/coach equates to wholehearted endorsement.

The only thing keeping TT in this game is DANA. Running backs getting 10 yards a carry and this guy just has to throw it.

It's not that he is throwing it. It's WHEN he is throwing it. When we are ripping 10 yards a carry, and there is no signs of TT making adjustments, that's when he throws it. No doubt he'll say something about "balanced offense" or something.
