Cut Him Some Slack

[The Raven]

While I agree that Cam didn't use the offense to its fullest potential, we need to cut him a little bit of slack. Honestly, with the o-line he had, we're actually kind of lucky to have done so well.

Yes, he could have made adjustments. However, the playbook is written during the off-season. He had to assume that the OL would be healthy and functional when writing it. You cant change a playbook mid-season. Looking at what he did the past two seasons, he did well with a functional OL. We had fewer receivers last year, but higher offensive production? Oh thats right, our oline was healthy...

The game is won in the trenches, and there is no such thing as a play set up to fail.

Thoughts?

While I agree with the sentiment, we have plenty of existing threads on Cameron and the offense.
