If they do that then I will be happy no matter whether we win or lose. I was very tired of "cutesy" football deep in the redzone the past 2 1/2 years whether it was Hueless or Haley Mills.

Only time will tell, but a young (43 yr old) Coach on the rise. Good to see him getting a shot at OC. I like it & am anxious to see how he & Williams work together. Definitely the ying to Williams' yang... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Well, this next game is going to be a win, because Kitchens is going to throw the kitchen sink at em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiggins7919 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I’m somewhat excited to see what Kitchens can do. I would say more concerned than excited, but whatever, LOL. I think one of the GOOD things that can come out of Kitchens making the calls is the involvement of Duke Johnson. Kitchens was our RB’s coach, and he’s going to be quite familiar with Duke’s ability. Let’s see if we finally split him out wide more, or find ways to get him involved in all four quarters. I mean, our first drive against the Steelers was nice! It basically started off with two Duke receptions, each for 8 yards, and then the rest of the entire game he didn’t have a catch. How is that possible? Speaking of our first drive, it ended on a 3rd and 4 Duke Johnson run. It didn’t work, but I actually like the call. It’s really frustrating when you call a run on 3rd down and it doesn’t work, but I liked the play call. Just didn’t work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfooldoug Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 He seems to have the right attitude and a grip on his marching orders. Protect the QB and give him what he needs. I’m not to keen on interim coaches but this seems to be an interesting set up. I mean, what’s the worst he can do? Lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchens will still be running Haley's offense, but I wouldn't doubt the plays will be used differently, at different times. With of course an emphasis on avoiding getting Baker killed.

Man, I have to admit, I was definitely in the camp of, "Run the ball 4 times in a row from the 1 yard line", but we had the ball around the 1 against the Steelers, and we went to run it with Chubb and we got COMPLETELY blown up. I mean, it wasn't even close. We got NO push, and I think we lost a yard or two. My point is, I'm not sure we're GOOD ENOUGH to run it in when the opposition knows it's coming. I hope I'm wrong, but it just seems to me that we don't get enough push when we need it. Remember that QB sneak on 4th down? Man, that wasn't even close. You know what play I see many teams score on each week when they're near the goal line? The shotgun handoff. The QB catches the snap, hands it off to the RB who gets a full head of steam and plunges in. I literally see it work multiple times each week. I don't necessarily love the idea of handing off 4 yards back from the line, but other teams run it quite successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickers Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 After watching that video.. I feel good about Kitchens being the OC.. Remember.. This guy was a QB in college.. And instrumental in helping Carson Palmer , resuscitate his career under the auspices of Bruce Arians... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
