Arians signs his one-year contract

Re: Arians signs his one-year contract

Dang.

Another season of under-achieving on offense.

Yea!!! I definitely don't want to get to the Super Bowl again

Imagine if we had an OC who could put together a plan for more than half-a-game...we might have even WON the Super Bowl.

I doubt that because we don't have a Defensive Coord who has no clue how to deal with a team that has a good QB and more than two good WRs. The Super Bowl simply confirmed that our DC won't adjust anything against good passing teams and he has no answers.

We'll never win a Super Bowl with Arians as our O.C.

2 times in 3 years is 2 times too many!

Fire the bum!

It's so hilarious when idiots like yinz think that just cause we made the Superbowl, he must be the reason.

Even more hilarious is when you try to blame our DC for our woes, despite him fielding an excellent unit year after year. Probably just so you can feel smart, I'd wager.

Saying BA is a reason we won 2 rings is like saying Barry Switzer was a reason the Boys won a ring.

Re: Arians signs his one-year contract

My issue is why does LeBeau get a pass though?

If anything Arians is held to a different standard.

I don't give a rats as$ how long LeBeau has been in the league either. His defenses weakness has been the same everywhere he's been.

What ADJUSTMENTS does he actually make?

Arians at least tries to make them.

LeBeau justs rests on his reputation and name.

You get it Crash. Huge double standard with regards to our coordinators.

Past performace is not a predictor of future success!!!!!

Re: Arians signs his one-year contract

To be honest, I always fear what the D will do against good QB's more than I fear what the O will do against good D's.

Since when does Arians try to adjust? If anything, he adjusts even less than Lebeau.

If LeBeau gets a pass, it's only because his system actually WORKS. Yeah it's not perfect, but it's won us far more games than lost us. 2008 ring any bells? That's more than Arians can say for his system. Since he's taken over, the offense has been average at best, and many times downright pitiful.

That's not saying I blame him for every loss. When DL screws up, I blame him too. He just screws up a lot less than BA. Even when BA doesn't hurt the team, I'm still convinced he does nothing to help it. Does not make the players better, does not adjust well to defenses, and does not call a good game. Probably the best thing he's done for the team is just letting Ben have more control over the offense.

Re: Arians signs his one-year contract

Since when does Arians try to adjust?

Ben broke his foot? The pistol formation was unveiled to limit his drop backs in the biggest regular season game of the year.

Demoted Randle El, elevated Sanders and Brown's roles.

More sweeps with Mendy.

More short routes to get Wallace and his speed YAC yards.

Now what adjustments has LeBeau made?

Now what adjustments has LeBeau made?

1. That wasn't an adjustment to a defense, that was necessary because of Ben's injury.
2. That's something any competent OC should have done.
3+4. Oh really? Did you count them?

Now I ask you, how well did our offense do all season? How many times did Arians run on first down? How many times did he fail to adjust to the defense of a team mid-game and succeed?

As for the defense,

1. Put corners closer to the WR's for more pressure.
2. Put troy further off the LoS when he was hurt.
3. Utilized Timmons more in the defense.
4. Adjusted well in the absence of Smith
5. Demoted Gay back to nickelback after 09
6. Blah blah blah....I could come up with more. But this is missing the picture. You got to look at how well they adjust, too.

I see you pretty much ignored every other point I made in my previous post. Very typical of BA apologists. Go figure.

Re: Arians signs his one-year contract

1. Put corners closer to the WR's for more pressure.

When? Against the Panthers? What did he do in the playoffs? They played back with a big lead against the Jets and almost blew it. They did nothing but allow Rodgers the time to sit back and pick them apart.

3rd and 10 down three points, and we didn't blitz.

As usual.

But we'll Jason Cambell or Jimmy Claussen and LeBeau's a genius.

I love how you take one point out of each of my posts and ignore everything else. Lazy, or just don't have any answers yet?

By the way, as far as the Jets game, maybe you should ask why our offense couldn't score a SINGLE POINT in the second half, and even gave up a safety.

Re: Arians signs his one-year contract

1. Put corners closer to the WR's for more pressure. Against bad teams
2. Put troy further off the LoS when he was hurt. This hurt our D
3. Utilized Timmons more in the defense. Really? I think Timmon's was more comfortable this year so it looks like he utilized him more
4. Adjusted well in the absence of Smith That's a joke right? Ziggy is a good replacement, it's not like we had a new scheme
5. Demoted Gay back to nickelback after 09 A year late
6. Blah blah blah....I could come up with more. But this is missing the picture. You got to look at how well they adjust, too.

BA is no genius.. but he isn't the villain you make him out to be and given the amount of injuries on the OL the last few years I think BA has done a decent job.

DL is still one of the best but fans need to get a grip on the Lebeau cushion they give him based on past success.

Ben missed a wide open WR and the pass was picked... it happens.

Why didn't the D hold GB on 2 TO's from scoring TD's or get a hand on any of Rogders passes in the SB? or the Pats game? or the Saints game?

The passing D is horrible and you won't admit it because EVERYTHING has to be BA's fault.

Re: Arians signs his one-year contract

My two cents...

NEITHER BA nor DL are good enough at making adjustments. The Super Bowl is a prime example.

I'd like to see them BOTH replaced. Ain't going to happen, though.
