by Freddie Kitchens is the biggest reason for the decline in the play of OBJ. It’s just that simple. When you’re working with a bad offensive line and a lack of downfield weapons, you run shorter patterns.
Far too many times they are trying deep balls with OBJ. He doesn’t have time to get open downfield because Baker doesn’t have time to throw. The play calling has been horrendous. He does his best work in the seem 10-15 yards out along with slants.
And if you know the guy is hurt, call plays for him that make sense, not homerun balls.
He is quick, has incredible hands and knows what to do after he catches the ball. It is just frustrating beyond belief to see the play calling. Run the ball more, force teams to stack the box and Landry & OBJ will get open more.
When you have a terrible line, call shorter routes. It should be so easy!
Freddie Kitchens has to go, he hasn’t learned from his mistakes and appears to be too stubborn to even admit he has made any. If after 13 games and a full offseason he hasn’t figured it out, it’s not going to happen.
I’m all for consistency at GM and coach, it is badly needed for any franchise to succeed. But don’t be foolish, Kitchens is not ready. So before OBJ is completely wasted, start next year fresh and see what can happen with a competent play caller.
You are right in most of what u say. My problem with OBJ is me me me. He makes his own rules with when to show up and the uniforms garbage and he can catch a ball thrown to him. Now dose he really want out. Our coaching and line are terrible. Looking back we would have been better off with no trade. It led to the hype they fed us and sale of tickets. Not wins. Let it play out now. We have no choice. We dug our own hole. What i want to see OBJ DO IS DO FOR THE LEAST OF MY BROTHER ! Dose he care about people or just his pocket and stardum. If we could get what we gavefor him viatrade. Than do it. Make a stand. What a wasted year. I hope as a team it can be changed and next year will be our year. If not we have the same old clowns
Seems he is never happy don’t he have some game changing drops
It will be yet another year of changing players and coaching staff.
Let the team get a couple years of routine. Knowing the plays and eachothers style.
The great teams have longevity of the same players. Can’t put a bunch of new folks together expect them to play well.
