But it's not like he's dropping TD's or anything......they simply don't use Ebron in the red zone. At all.

He can't be a red zone threat if he isn't seeing targets.

How is this even possible? 6'4, 250 lbs, and we don't even look his direction. Inexcusable. I want Cooter gone in the worst way. CJ would be targeted at least once EVERY time we were in the red zone, and it seemed like a very obvious and smart playcall, and this guy gets targeted 4 times throughout an entire year. Either nobody has faith in Ebron or Cooter is a worthless neanderthal cunt.

I've been saying this all year. They simply don't use him inside the 20. Inexcusable. And when they do, they usually succeed. This team needs another 6'4" WR down there in those crucial moments.

Don't we have one on our practice squad?

Isaac Fruechte(sp?)maybe? Idk. Billingsley is another one but he's 4'11". I really don't know anymore. I'm not losing faith but this coaching staff is fucking gutless. Them and them alone will be the demise of this team. They don't give their guys a chance to win games. Caldwell plays not to lose...his conservative attitude kills this team.

 

[kdp1980]

The kid from UNC get yanked off of our practice squad? Can't think of his name, but he was 6'4, 220 or so

 

[kdp1980]

Quinshad Davis

 

[kdp1980]

Jay Lee is a free agent as well. Idk. Marvin Jones has just fallen flat recently. I don't get what happened there

Completely agree, our winning record guarantees this shitshow for at least one more year. This year is almost a curse, same crap next year. I'd love to see Quin clean house regardless of what happens the remainder of this year. Or at least upgrade our offensive coordinator, realizing the offense is under performing under Cooter.

Whats Joe Fauria up to nowadaze?

 

[tbone413]

Agreed on Ebron not getting Red Zone targets this year. It's weird because he's having a solid year outside of that. Seems like the only reliable guy inside the Red zone is Boldin.
Jones has never been a good Red Zone threat, and I don't think he ever will be. He does a pretty good job at stretching the field but that's about it.

I am starting to agree with whoever it was who said that Cooter is a great QB coach but an average OC. He has found the recipe on how to make stafford a Top 5-10 QB, but he hasn't yet figured out how to properly utilize the rest of the offense.

Marvin jones has been hurt. Even missed a game. Riddick can score too and missed last 2. Tate small. Ebron somehow only has 2 tds. Short yardage run game poor

 

[kdp1980]

Fauria is a free agent. 7 TDs a few years ago, more than Ebron has scored his entire career. Bring him in. 6'8, and not a top 10 pick

Maybe we can talk Calvin out of retirement.

I wouldn't be against that. It ain't happening though

He's too busy dancing with the stars.

Or when they did in the 1st quarter and he completely dropped an easy first down. I know it wasn't in the red zone, but that was bad and it was in the middle of a good drive. He's been doing a bit of that classic Ebron-dropsies we've all known him for.

Speaking of former Detroit to NE guys, apparently Van Noy is good now?

I'm guessing he's not covering Rbs in the flat anymore, or required to do much in terms of coverage? Just a wild guess

 

[kdp1980]

Wish somebody would share some footage of what Ebron is doing every drive we are settling for 3. I don't know if this is an Ebron, Stafford, or coach issue. IMHO, I think it might have more to do with Cooter than anybody. Quit drawing up gadget and trick plays for Ebron, and design ways to get him CATCHING the ball in the redzone. Cooters coaching is making this guy a limited force, IMO.
