janTHEv1973,

He's not a basic rookie.  Keep trying.

He’s played less than 10 games because he missed a chunk last year due to injury and this only his second year seems to fit the defenstion of basically a rookie to me.

Chud: There were play calls for Mack, but some of them were run/pass options and Brissett opted to pass.

Chud: There were "some things up" for Mack. Some run-pass options "went the other way." #Colts

Chud on lack of touches for Marlon Mack: Team had a bunch of run-pass options called that went pass at line of scrimmage, esp. in 2nd half.

Krunk your giving me a headache trying to figure this out. . . . .  So they had plays for Mack, but then Brissett opted to pass but they just went the other way, especially in the second half.  So is it Brissett's problem or Chud's  . . . . OR BOTH perhaps???

Went the other way means Brissett chose to pass.    I feel Chud has some say in the process though.

Are we tanking or wth? Win able game lost by coaches. BTW  Brissett is worth a 1st plus some. I don't cry and I can't laugh at this, pitiful. This team with Brissett can win this division without our coaches. 

Brissett is not worth a 1st round pick IMO.

Chudzinski: Losing Turbin will give Marlon more opportunities, in two minute drill, etc. Good opportunity for him. We'll get him the ball.

 

 

 

I'm wondering why this wasn't the mentality against Tenn?  I only buy so much of the Jacoby checked out of all the designed runs and opted for passes comment.

Exactly!  I will believe it when I see it.

Chud should be putting his foot down, especially with a QB that is just seasoned a few games in his career, Brissett would have no problem if Chud did that. I would still give him 3 different run options but run it is, for this down.

Rookie or not, you HAVE to give some freedom for your QB. The run-pass option is one of the easiest option play considering the learning process, because most young QB's play a lot of those in college. So they know the keys to read already. If Brissett opted to pass, it was either his fault if it was the wrong read, or this was what the Titans defense gave him.

 

Btw, snapcounts from the Titans game:

Gore: 23 snaps

Turbin: 21 snaps

Mack: 14 snaps

 

Considering that Gore and Turbin are the superior pass blockers (so they earn some extra snaps in obvious pass plays), the snap distribution was close to 1/3 for each.

 

We will see how they will share snaps after Turbin's injury. Probably Matt Jones will get his chance, but I expect Gore's and Mack's snapcounts to go up.

I think if Gore is getting stuffed you switch up the pace and implement more runs to Mack as a change of pace. Same way Seattle switched up the pace on us in the second half and went more with their speed backs instead of Eddie Lacy.   I just don't see how it's a winning formula especially with the changes we've had on the O line to put the ball almost completely in Brissetts hands and think he's going to win it for us.   There were other issues as well such as Doyle and his Shenanigans but jeesh.  We play a most frustrating brand of football in the second halfs of these games and it's real puzzling.

I agree.  Give Mack some inside runs and some outside runs to keep the defense honest and give him the best opportunity to break one.  But, let's be honest.  Between Gore and Mack, they had only 12 carries.  That's just a weak offense that isn't generating enough running plays.  In any healthy offense, Gore should be getting 12-15, Mack 8-10 and Turbin (now Jones) 5.  If this offense isn't generating 25-30 carries/gm it is stumbling.
