Dawson choked hard last night. Sure TVD was really bad but Dawson F'ed this up too. Solid F+ from him:
- No tempo when it was obvious we needed it after first 2 drives
- No RB screens (THROW ONE TO CJ PLZ)
- ZERO creativity (motion, trick plays, etc.). Nothing, nada. No one schemed open at all. ****, I'll take a halfback pass in the snow (JK) but you get the point.
- Running game totally bland, straight up the middle over and over. Can i get a toss? A reverse?
- No use of any playmaker in space (CJ, Ray, Smith, anyone).
- Basically only played starters the whole time but aside from X who deserved all those snaps? George was super meh, Colbie had 1 play (admittedly a big one). Gotta bring someone else in for a spark. went to CJ once, that's it.
- Sending Cam out as a WR over and over. Really? Put in Riley or just bring in a 4th WR. So stupid.
- Clearly befuddled by new GT DC like he was Bill Belicik himself. How does Dawson not know how to adjust to Cover 2 (or whatever GT kept running)? I mean seriously? How does every coach not have 3-5 "money" plays ready to go anytime based on the Defense they see?
- JW Int to 15. Run with Parrish for 3, Run with Parrish for loss, Pass with crappy routes (TVD gets sacked on GT blitz). Needed a TD, no FG. This would have changed everything (Kam doesnt bite on last play cuz FG wouldn't matter). Parrish was garbage this game get him the F out. And how do you not have a better set of redzone plays?
- And lastly, calls run play instead of kneeling. Yes Mario 100% deserves ultimate blame here but pretty sure Dawson calls the play...? And if anyone could overrule Mario (if he called the run plays which i doubt), it would be the OC. Dawson deserves massive blame here as well
