00:00Where I'm out on Blau is, I'm ready to say that I think he was not ready for the job.
00:07I don't think he was prepared for the gig.
00:09He got it too soon.
00:11I think he will be an outstanding offensive coordinator eventually.
00:14I wouldn't be surprised, by the way, if he ends up being a head coach.
00:17I think when you talk to enough people that know him, he's that type of thinker.
00:22But he's a player who kind of took a shortcut.
00:24And so some of the protection things that come over years aren't there.
00:30Some of the run game things that when you're a quarterback, you don't always have to worry about,
00:34maybe aren't there the way that you want.
00:36And obviously the end of game sequences have just been problematic.
00:39I would imagine Dan Quinn regrets going that route.
00:43It's not to say Blau has been terrible.
00:45He hasn't.
00:46I think he's actually been okay.
00:47I think the schematic stuff is good.
00:50The play calling is fine.
00:51The end of game has been a disaster, though.
00:53And it's killed their season a couple times over.
00:56Lowest I've been on him.
00:58It's not just those end game things, which are, as you said, calamitous, disastrous, all the right words.
01:03There are too many people that are really smart that will go, what's the design here?
01:06What are we doing?
01:07And that wasn't just week one, right, where you get a film cut up with three receivers that are within
01:11an arm's length of each other.
01:12It's still happening.
01:13The idea that a team, all they have to do is blitz against you for an entire second half,
01:16and you had zero answers for it for multiple weeks just sort of seems unprepared and overmatched.
