How much better does the offense really need to be for us to win 10 games this year?

To the discussion, I would only add, A lot.
-
SC in November in Seattle. I don't think that's happened in @RaceBannon 's lifetime.
-
Have anything else you'd like to add in a separate poast, @AEB?
-
Fucking Peterman.
-
Cal in Berkeley will be tough because Davis Webb yada yada reloading

Also - our offense is not going to be good until Pete butts the fuck out of it and gets an OC who isn't a yes man holding his pencils while he tries to recreate the Kellen Moore days.
I think Pete is an outstanding CEO, but until he gets pushed out of the offensive game-planning by a dude who cares about the team we HAVE not the team we WANT (a/k/a - Kellen Moore), we are going to be fucked.
Pete has consistently over-reached to do it 'his way'. I think over-reaching is an algorithm, not an issue solved by time.
For instance, I think Pete will simply continue to over-reach on offense. He will see whatever we can do and want to go past that. He won't play to our strengths, he will always remember how it was with Kellen Moore and try to recreate that as the 'right way' to do it.
He won't look at what the offense actually *IS* and design a plan for that.
It's a funny thing, but the 'culture' showed up on defense almost immediately under Pete. But the offense—where he's supposed to be a fucking genius—has been slow to arrive.
Primarily because it's not a cultural problem. It's a problem that he's been trying to re-create the KM years with yes-men OC's since Moore's been gone and it's a fucking slap dick idea that has nothing to do with winning. -
Are you new here? Potato's peak their junior year in high school....we have people that thought he would actually play?TTJ said:Offensively, I can see an argument for improvement at each position group, but I would also say each group is thin enough that one key injury could cause a significant regression.
Defensively, DeathRow is loaded overall, but I still worry about who's going to rush the QB. Mathis has been wildly inconsistent. Johnson seems to be making strides, but at 280# I don't know if he'll be quick enough to be an effective edge rusher in the nickel. I had expected to hear a lot about Potato and ChiefJusticeEarlWarren this spring, and instead heard nothing. Rice? Sterk? A couple young guys need to step up as edge rushers, because we* are straight fuckt every time Psalm Wooching sets foot on the field. -
But how is Peterman a bad head coach?Dennis_DeYoung said:Also - our offense is not going to be good until Pete butts the fuck out of it and gets an OC who isn't a yes man holding his pencils while he tries to recreate the Kellen Moore days.

Pete once said all they ask of the players on defense is to follow their assignment and play as hard as they possibly can.Dennis_DeYoung said:Also - our offense is not going to be good until Pete butts the fuck out of it and gets an OC who isn't a yes man holding his pencils while he tries to recreate the Kellen Moore days.

When asked about offense, it's all about finding the right ways to attack, getting experience so they can best attack a defense.
One side of the ball is relatively simplistic and aggressive. The other side is cutesy and reactive. -
The offense is not "good enuff" until teams are scared to play defense because everybody knows we're gonna score and Peterman is accused of running up the score each and every week.
