Yes the line sucks. Half the league’s line sucks. Yes Howell holds on to the ball too long. He’s basically a rookie and EB is calling plays that take too long to develop. Yes the receivers aren’t getting open. EB has Howell throwing 40+ times each game. A good playcaller runs plays that maximize his current roster. We should be calling quick hitters, RPOs, and establishing the run with play action. The defenders can just peel their ears back and come for the qb. DCs can call blitzes knowing they have no threat of an effective counter attack. EB can mitigate our lack of talent but he chooses not to.
Yea I’m nervous for him though. Second OC in 2 seasons, possibly a third if EB is let go. That would mean a third playbook to learn, a third system to adapt too, new HC to earn the trust of. If I was GM I’m going LT first round, RT second round.
