re: We need an entirely new offensive scheme

Someone on the rant opined that Kirby needs to become a CEO/GM verses a “coach.” While that opinion is a grossly simple, it is in large part accurate.

As a GM Kirby could step back and analyze what is going on around him. In the modern game holding is the norm, both O line and DB. Kirby put what is probably one of his better D’s on the field this year and got torched last night largely because holding is allowed and Burrow had the ability to continue plays because of his mobility. An above average D crushed the life out of GA’s O largely because the receivers were mauled at the LOS and Fromm couldn’t make the D respect the run. Average receivers become above average when LB’s and DB’s have to account for a mobile QB.

The modern age is QB centric. Either scheme for the next evolution of the game or acknowledge what the current rules allow and recruit/coach accordingly. Otherwise, Kirby will keep getting the results we all saw last night. I’m hopeful. Kirby is still young.
