Carr is once again 7-6, if Vegas fails again, do they pull his plug too?
Carr isn't high on the list of issues with that team.
Honestly man Gruden deserves a ton of blame here too.
Sticking with Guenther end of last year when many felt he was incompetent.
Firing Buckner as DL coach even though he had outstanding rapport with the unit and helped more than double our team sack total in 2019, only to hire Marinelli. Now we got 2018 numbers again with a better unit.
Offensively we put up points because we have a top 10 QB, a top 10 RB, one if the not the best constructed OL units in the league when healthy, and one if not the best TE in the league.
But imo our philosophy is overly conservative and our scheme is stale. I've long been convinced we score at a decent rate in spite of Gruden, not because of his scheme or his ideas.
Gruden's philosophy might sustain a team with a top 15 defense, but we've never been close to that in his second stint here, or anytime in the last decade. I really think a better offensive mind could consistently take this current team to the playoffs with more aggressive offense scheming, knowing that you have to compensate for a league worst defense every week.
Agree with everything he said here. The defense hasn't even been close to good since the early 2000's on top of that, and for the most part it's been bottom 10.
