After today's game I am convinced it is bad play calling.
1. Refusal to run a QB sneak
2. Refusal to run proper play in short yardage situations with a back like Barber
3. The deep passes on third and shirt are crazy but clearly calls from Koetter as Winston and Fitz are not that "greedy"
4. Refusal to run Barber N/S and insist on toss plays. Barber is pretty agile for a big man but the Bucs don't have the OL athletes to pull it off. In Gruden's offense, he insisted on guards that could pull and also a lot of I formation runs to set up the toss play to Carnell or Graham. Koetter thinks running a toss play without set up or athletic guards is a good idea.
5. Love affair with Sims. Don't see it. Sims is pretty ordinary third down back. I wouldn't mind him being re-signed but I wouldn't be upset if he isn't re-signed either.
6.OJ Howard and Brate were supposed to be the cornerstones of mismatches on offense due to Koetter gushing about double TE's. Instead, Koetter is choosing to run shotgun four wide on most plays. Zzzzzzzzzzz. if that is the true offense Koetter wants to run the Bucs should have drafted a LT, pass catching RB and a slot WR.
7. Coaching Mike Evans to go for YAC.
8. Finding way to involve DJAX.
9. Not running the clock when you are driving for a score in the first half by calling THREE straight passing plays which allowed the Falcons to kick a field goal before half.
10. Not passing when down two scores at the end of the game.
