If James stays which I hope he does and if he wants to get to elite, they need 1 change to happen. They need to go out and get an OLine coach, not just any OLine coach, an established, bad bad man. This team doesn’t play inspired on the OLine and I don’t think it is lack of strength, size or talent either. It maybe technique, maybe a little but I think it is a lot more to do with attitude and imposing your will on the opposition. Even the elite teams who most call finesse teams can line it up and smash it down your throat when they want and need to. I believe we have the talent, the strength training but we lack someone to teach them.
If Yurchich is here and they can establish some sort of attitude upfront, this offense will be elite. The passing game is pretty darn good and that is impressive in its own right being so 1-dimensional. He does a great job calling plays and game planning to keep the defense honest without a running game. That isn’t easy to do. If James wants to be elite, he needs to invest in some tough love upfront on O.
