We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep.

Our D is just bad period. On O the turnovers are the most obvious issue but we not too good on O either. We have run the ball pretty good the last couple of weeks. The O issues begin with the O line. And for me play calling has killed us inside the 30. It’s completely predictable. When we get inside the 30 we will go to the end zone on first down, run outside zone on second down and go back to the long ball on third down.
On offense it’s all the O-line. The Aguilar is throwing more INTs because he doesn’t have time to set and throw. The playcalling is vanilla because they don’t have time to run more than basic plays. You can have all the weapons you want, if the line doesn’t block you’ve got nothing.
Reason he doesn't have enough time is he waits for the receiver to get 40 yards down the field before he chucks it up in the air. He has the blocking for a 15 yard pass.
I wonder if he is being coached to hit the long ball or just locking in on one guy?
Absolutely no inside information but I think we throw the long ball because we have absolutely no confidence in being able to sustain a drive.

He routinely locks on to one WR. Just watch game film, it's not hard for opposing DC's to see that and start salivating.
Also, he's trying really hard because he knows the team is struggling and he wants to help them win.
