Travis-While I understand why some people aren’t terribly excited about the hire, I relly think that was poorly written article. The guy didn’t do enough research, as he conveniently left out that Schiano was in the NFL for 3 years as a DB coach for the Bears. Plus the writer said playing in the NFL brings credibility to the locker room, so that’s why a comparison to Harbaugh isn’t a good one…. Mike Singletary anybody?!

I forgot to add: Even when Olsen was running the same horrid offense.

If we can get an OC that specializes in big plays ala the Saints and Patriots, life would be good. We’ve NEVER had an explosive offense. I am born and breed to love crushing defense (of course being a Bucs fan) but d*mn it sure would be nice to be able to put up 30 points a game. I’ve never felt what that was like. Must be nice. Come on Schiano, bring us something good on the O side of the ball! And whatever you do get as far away from the GRUDEN playbook as possible. I loved me some Gruden, but the dudes offense was well…offensive. GO BUCS!

Blount missing meetings + Benn & Williams dropping passes + no gap control + penalties = NO DISCIPLINE. That ends hopefully with this coach.

The greatest receiver of all time ran a 4.7 in the 40…It takes much more than athleticism to become a great player in the NFL.

@I_Miss#40
We must take into account Freeman’s regression and not being coached/taught how to throw his receivers open, this will change.

Bobby, Benn does have better than average speed, which means nothing. I posted this before for those using speed as a knock against Justin Blackmon. Being an excellent wide receiver is about route running, body position, attacking the ball in the air, and hands. There are a ton of guys who can run a 4.4 forty that have 0 success in the NFL (see half of the Raiders franchise), if you can’t run a clean route, use your body to create separation, and go up and get the damn ball…the only time you get those big plays are on busted coverage. Do you want a receiver that can work themselves open, or do you want to hope the other team screws up?

Brad:

Our best weapons on offense are Blount and Benn. It’s clear to anyone that knows football these guys have talent that was under utilized.

It was criminal how Blount was misused. Now Joe gets that he was blowing off studying the playbook and being late to meetings if not napping in meetings. OK, then deactivate the guy! If he’s going to be on the active roster — which he was — then use him! He was not used properly at all.

Don’t get Joe started on the weekly Benn’d Around.

Joe suspects a good offensive coach can find a way to develop schemes to get people open.

Point, counterpoint. What skeptics like myself are thinking right now. Prove me and other skeptics wrong, Coach Schiano. I’ll be at RJS watching, rooting….

I agree with you Joe. Our best weapons on offense are Blount and Benn. It’s clear to anyone that knows football these guys have talent that was under utilized. Benn clearly would have been more productive if used more. Sure he dropped his share of passes but I believed if used more those drops would have been less. He’s the only guy that could stretch the D but for whatever reason Olson was too stupid to figure it out. Then you have Blount who seem to make an ESPN highlight play every game. How can everyone in the free world know this guy is a weapon but our great coordinator couldn’t figure how to use him on 3rd down or in the hurry up offense.
