    A lot of it is regional. The assistants are given regions to cover.

    For example I know Dell McGee covers Cobb County. James Coley covers South Florida, etc.

    Not the whole scheme but part of it.

    It’s true that coaches have their regions, but let’s be serious. Dell flew out to Cali to visit his top Dawg and I’m pretty sure the PittBoss was the lead recruiter on a majority of his OL targets/commits. It’s just very odd to me how our WR coach, wasn’t the lead guy for any of our WR this cycle.

    Interesting. Thanks for the info as always. How would adding him jive with current staffing? Does he have experience with QBs? There was hinting previously about bringing in someone with QB coaching chops allowing Coley to shift back to WRs and remain as OC.

    Very interesting stuff here. Exciting to think about a more explosive offense.

    What do you think the real LIMFAC with our run game was this past year. I assume you’ll point to a confluence of the following factors, but do you want to assign more weight to one as opposed to others:

    1: Poor run blocking?

    2: Underperforming Swift?

    3: Underperforming Herrien?

    4: Wrong type of run plays called?

    5: Other?

    Very interested for your take in this. I know you’ve posted that D’s loading the box is nothing new, so I didn’t list it.

    Yeah it was all of that. Starts with poor play calling. Took to long this season to run off tackle. Injuries and inability to climb to second level, effected run blocking. Lesser talent at RB positions.

    Swift should’ve cemented his first round status imo this year. He did things that doesn’t suit his skill set and his usage rate improved. I know he got hurt at year end but I’d have more confidence taking him in first round.

    I would agree that the dismal passing game hurt out run game no doubt.... However, they rarely tried to run outside. Everything was a draw or inside run.

    OL did not have a good year knocking guys off the ball and getting to the 2nd level IMO.
