I thought I could put away the stages of suck after two wins, but the pile of excrement the Texans left on the field brought it back. I have been asking about four different people in my stages of suck, but there is way too much to say and I wanted to give the masthead a chance to chime in. We are focusing our attention on Nick Caley. I have one very pointed question for the masthead and another I will answer myself after giving you their answers.
PatH: As I watched the offensive ineptitude IN PERSON HAVING SPENT A STUPID AMOUNT OF MONEY TO DO SO, three words kept floating to mind with every failed fourth down conversion and stalled drive: Offensive Frank Bush. I do not use the term lightly, but he is inept at offense as the Texans 2009 defensive coordinator whose defense was one of the dead lowest in the NFL that season. There is no reason to believe he will improve enough to make the Texans entertain the playoff ambitions, let alone the Super Bowl ambitions, this team once had. He needs to go before DeMeco loses he team.
Lblitzer: Uh, the Seattle game set back just about any progress he made over the previous two games. The bad line and questionable running back room is as much Caserio as it is Caley, but some of the playcalling mistakes are going to get Caley a one-way ticket out of Houston stat. This is especially true if McDaniel gets sacked in Miami and Houston is in need of a new OC. I think you will see a major move to replace Caley with him.
Clayton A.: Caley looks like one of the worst play callers in football. I have no idea what the franchise saw in interviews and camp tp allow this to go this far. It is somehow both unimaginative, not innovative, but overly complex. There is little substance there. He has had two 6’4’ receivers, a dual threat running back in Marks, and Tank Dell’s dopple ganger in Jaylin Noel, but can’t manufacture a score from the one yard line. He looks like a one and done candidate.
Kenneth L.: This guy is awful. Horrible play calling, no development, no specialization, no creativity. Not much more to be said for a guy who lacks experience, has never called plays before, and is out of his league.
EdgarRiceBurro: Fire him now and avoid the Christmas rush.
*Scott Barzilla (Vballretired): I said my piece on Tuesday morning. I am done with this guy. Others mentioned many of the issues, but I am still trying to figure out how your second best receiver is only on the field for 31 percent of the offensive plays. I am trying to figure out while three guys aren’t holding Dare Ogunbowale on the bench so he can’t go in the game. It’s all mystifying to me and I had hoped that...
