The problem with "its bad coaching" wrt to Polk's non catch is that it makes a bunch of assumptions about what information was/wasn't conveyed to the players. Do we know for sure that the rule wasn't explained to Polk? He has been coached before but he is 22 years old in his first job out of school. Our really smart 22 year olds mess up stuff regularly even with firm management.There was a full on discussion of the rule in this forum because it changed this year. Plenty of people questioned it. I’m so tired of hearing about the glory days when every player knew all of the rules when Bill was here. It’s a garbage take and has no basis in reality. The team was 4-13 last year. I get that some of you don’t want your step dad to replace your real dad but your real dad sucked last year and its why he’s doing podcasts. A rookie WR who made a hell of a play wants to argue that he made a great play and we want to put it on the coaches? Are you 100% sure no one on the staff has talked to him about it? This is nonsense.
Its not that I don't want to join the pitchfork and torch crowd. I just want to make sure the mob I follow around isn't just aiming for any target they can find. People have admit we do that here, all the time.
Also, I can't get to 3-2 with any different coaching. They are 1-4 and there are no metrics showing any real underperformance. They are pretty bad.
