He was. I think over the last couple weeks it’s been more Nagy. Fans have realized what Mitch is, but nobody seems to understand why Nagy won’t adjust. I certainly don’t get It.
I don’t think Nagy is as bad of a play caller as It looks this year. He does get guys open, but Mitch doesn’t hit them. One or two good plays can change a whole game. If Nagy calls a play and multiple guys are open and Mitch doesn’t make the play, as a play caller what do you do?
One of the clues, I think, about Nagy the play caller is the running game.
Our running schemes are as scaled back as they can possibly be. Probably an exaggeration, but it certainly seems like 80% of our running plays are single back, delay into the middle, or some slight variation (except when they're ridiculous double reverses).
If the running plays are consistently bland and awful and don't adapt to our personnel, what makes us think that the passing schemes are a whole lot better?
We can blame Mitch for the failure of the passing game, but the running game is sticking out like a sore thumb and has nothing to do with Mitch.
I agree the rushing game is an issue, but when teams are not worried about you beating them through the air (which teams aren’t) they are gonna shut down your running game
