we need a new OC
HH should be starting (at this point in time) and easing DR into things.
WR blocking is indeed an issue, as is actually catching the ball.
I understand that they are trying to give DR the time to solve his own issues, but he has gotten progressively worse, and they run the risk (albeit small) of damaging him. I'm sure his confidence is not where it was at the beginning of the year.
When you get locked in to only 1 player as your entire focus, at the expense of the team, you start to look a lot like the Frost/AM situation.
I am not saying DR has the same internal confidence problems that AM had, but as some point you wonder if the poor production is rubbing off on other players too.
You can't build your team and culture around 1 guy.. the rest of the team notices this and you lose cohesion as a team. I think we are at that point now. Rhule must address this, or you will start to see an exodus of good players to the portal.. in fact, I'm almost certain this will happen now, regardless of the outcome of the remaining games.
