Thread: Hackett Playcalling and Game Management

Maybe, but a still picture can be really deceiving in that regard. NFL defenders can close those gaps quickly. Plus it looks like Russ momentum is still in his dropback at this point, so he'd have to change direction to go forward, which would possibly give #52 who is coming up on his blind side time to catch him. Throwing an easy TD to Javonte was the play there.

You must not read all the posts. But why does that surprise me coming from you?

I wasnt arguing that Javonte wasnt an option but certainly running it in was one too. Hell, ive seen Tebow fake run and throw a pass, same with Geno Smith in week one. There was a multitude of options for Russ there.

I went back and read every post in this thread closely just to make sure. If anyone actually made that post they'd be getting destroyed. Not sure what that dude is seeing.

Just because he was a top candidate, does not mean, he has not sucked the first 2 weeks.

That's not re-writing history, that's is simply calling out his short comings.

The situation may play a part, this team is far from complete, but honestly there are few that are, and those teams are not on the new coach rotational merry-go-round.

He didn’t say he hasn’t. He was specifically referencing the article saying Hackett was only hired to entice Rodgers.

Correct. Rodgers was a "nice to have" when hiring Hackett but pretty sure he stood on his own merits in the interview process. He was a hot commodity and perhaps that's why everyone's been on his his shit the first 2 weeks. That and primetime. Worried for Hackett with another primetime game this week so hopefully he punks Shanny Jr.

I can not see a link to an article, happens a lot from my work computer.

To much stuff blocked, or maybe I should not be doing this from work

Awesome, let's pick the two/three plays that didn't work or were bad decisions.

Nevermind the 30-40 other plays where the offense marched down the field on long drives at five yards a clip in the run game and so on. That's what most of the media coverage on the NFL is now anyway. Cherry pick a few plays here and there for hot takes on the overall worth of a team/player etc. to drive up the views.

Anybody who didn't expect a first time head coach to make a few mistakes is exactly the kind of person that modern media drama is made for.

I'll see your two/three poor decisions by Hackett and raise you about 40-50 plays where Cam Fleming has played like a stud. Calvin Anderson was the guy who was supposed to start, but someone in the coaching staff/Hackett decided Fleming was going to start and he's been nothing short of a stud at RT.

But talking about how this is the best RT play we've had in years isn't sexy, controversial, or click bait.

So nobody gives a sh*t. You won't find more than a single mention of how well he's played, but you will find about 20-30 articles/clips, shows, tweets a day about how a handful of poor calls have doomed us to a 1-1 start.

You never know how much truth is truth, because they all go with "our hope was to get ____ player in round 2 all along" or in this case, trade for a QB, but the stories out after the trade indicated that that trade had been in the works for a while, and Wilson was plan A, not Rodgers.

Ok feller. Take a breath. There have been more than a few play calls to critique. Been lots of problems these first two weeks. I guess, you do you though.
