Locklear had been struggling the couple weeks before Diehl came back, too.
The Washington game... We ran the ball for 95 or 96 yards in the first half. We were 3/13 on deep passes against Washington that game. The biggest problem in that game was the defense couldn't get off the field in the second half. Washington held the ball for 10 minutes in the 4Q alone. That was a significantly bigger problem in the game than was play calling. That and the penalties.

Norv turner is a great OC but a terrible HC.

No, because if you actually read anything I wrote you would see I've stated numerous times that Gilbride is a good to average OC and that I would welcome a better choice. Norv Turner would be that choice.
People act like I say Gilbride is terrible. At times, yes his play calling is terrible but he's a decent OC.
We just have too much talent to be so stagnant.
ALL IN!!!!!!!!

I see the same thing you and everyone else sees. And I know for certain that we've all went off on Gilbride in the past only to find out that it was Eli changing the plays based on his reads.
So the bottom line is I don't know what part is Eli and what part is Gilbride that's not working.
But to get back to my previous post, I'm simply asking you if you think Eli wants a new OC? Do you think he wants to learn a new system? I have a feeling Eli would have a hard time with a new system.
