I was tempted to go for FS Playcalling but really OL and RB are problems too. QB has issues but if most other things were functional I think our QB would be serviceable. For our RBs (Warsh) is a problem albeit of the Louis Rankin ilk where he would actually look pretty good if he had better support. OL sometimes holds its own but usually doesn't. All this makes it hard for the coaches to effectively call plays... but they could do better... if I had to only choose one factor that would be the one.
It's not really the playcalling, although it does suck. It's Petersen and Smith's faggy, finesse overthinking of how to best attack a defense. Nobody plays fast and it's obvious guys are bogged down.
Mickens (did finally get up field on last two catches, but drops one in 3rd, and on bubble/fly sweeps you just think oh shit) 8 games left in his career
Lenius (mia not part of passing game at all, not good as blocker on bubble screens for a guy his size)
Marvin Hall (Next)
So that leaves Pettis, Chico, Renfro, Pounds and any other freshman/sophomore we have.

Pettis can't run the right routes (though I will say he had a great 1-handed catch when Browning scrambled)
Renfro has a well documented fumbling problem
Dunno if I can anything bad about Chico yet. Dunno if I've seen Pounds catch the ball yet.
RB: DW is not a first or second down back, Gaskin is too wet behind the ears, Coleman needs to transfer. Why the fuck isn't cooper running the rock between tackles 10-12 times a game?
Play Calling FS: Why the fuck isn't Smith going over the middle to our Tight ends who have excellent receiving skills? It works and he goes away from it. No way in hell DW should be leading this team in receiving.
OL: would look much better with decent play calling, enough said on that
