I’m going to admit to being wrong. I was too hard on the guy. First two games looked like trash to me. The adjustments he has made and the playcalls since week 3 have improved even with losses to Carolina and ATL. The biggest adjustment he made is putting the ball in CJs hands.
Hopefully last week he learned that when he has a 10 point lead its better to hand the ball off than to risk an unnecessary mistake that gives a team a chance to win. We wouldn’t have a 6-4 record without Slowik.
I disagree with the running the ball. Every time a coach does that, it’s short gains, pass on 3rd and 6 for an incompletion and then punt the ball away. Repeat like 2 more times and suddenly the other team is back in the game. I hate that. Keep doing what got you the lead, keep the pedal on the floor and keep putting points on the board. I’d rather be aggressive and live with the mistakes then be passive and safe and give away our momentum and lead. I don’t blame Slowik for what happened in the 2nd half that much. Those plays are on CJ to make, it’s just a learning lesson from him.
