Need an Offensive Coordinator ASAP!

On more than one occasion yesterday the cameras show Whisenhunt and he was looking at his playcard then calling the plays in.

Couldn’t agree more I said we needed an OC when Haley left. Whisenhunt needs to first Google “NFL Head Football Coach” then he need to perform those duties and only those duties.

I can think of maybe one time they have pulled it off all season and that was called back by a penalty.

I think that we have stopped adjusting our offensive schemes since Todd Haley left (since Whiz took over). Our in game adjustments are terrible. I watched Fitz line up in Man Bump Coverage with no Safety over the top 3 times on Sunday. I understand this happening once but Minnesota needs to pay for it the VERY NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. I tried to get Sando to prove it by comparing the number of times we used formations, run to pass choices, and actual Fitz targets in the 1st vs. 2nd half. Compare the numbers from the last 3 years to the Super Bowl season with Todd Haley.

That Whiz was a successful play caller with Pittsburgh.
From my perspective, from what I’ve read and from what I have seen is that our offense requires a QB who can quickly identify the coverage, find the mismatch and make the throw promptly. Warner excelled in this very offense, with much of the same play calling.
Kolb said it in one of his last pressers, that he was being asked to do to much, like make 4 reads but was struggling so they reduced his reads.
I like our offense, when it is run effectively. I think it can be a very successful offense.
What I see as our big problem is coaches overloading players with schemes (something Whiz has said hes been guilty of) and players unable to perform those schemes (i.e. Derrick Anderson).
Our WR’s have been getting open, our RB’s have been getting yards. Kolb just has to learn to take advantage of the system.
I believe he will and will prove his worth by the end of the season. (Mostly because I want to draft a LB or OT in the first and not a QB…)

Sando has a write up on Whisenhunt and what Bidwill expect of him. If I was Coach Whisenhunt I would bring a bag of ice to try and cool his seat down a little bit.

For one Ken Whisenhunt is a good play caller, Then “Why does the Cards offense look like crap?” Well you’ve got a QB that is only in his 9th or 10th week of the offense. This QB has no cohesion with his WR and no trust in his O-line. This mean that Ken Whisenhunt is probably calling plays Kolb is most comfortable with and can probably only use 60-75% of the play book. Maybe even less with O-line deficiencies.

On top of that the offensive line play is horrid. Levi Brown is basically a welcome mat to Kevin Kolb and Bridges and Keith aren’t exactly reliable.With the lack of major talent in WR and numerous TE the Cards need to use 2 and 3 TE sets.

Added to my point go back and watch the game, Housler was open a couple of times for a big play and Kolb didn’t see it. There were also a couple of well run route that freed up Fitz but Kolb did have anytime to get it to him.

This offense has good plays called but Kevin Kolb needs to recognize the open guys but he can’t do this when he is worried about his protection. News flash Haley wasn’t that great of an OC. Warner checked to hot routes a lot and changed plays a the LOS Warner made him look good and Whisenhunt had his plays in the offense as well,
