I really like Sark. He’s a class act and measured beyond belief during a very tough stretch. For that I give him tremendous credit. But one has to wonder if his reputation as an offensive guru and quarterback whisperer was built based on the availability of 5 Star players at every position in his previous job.
Great coaches — great offensive minds — work wonders with less than stellar talent. While the jury is still out, we now have an adequate sample size, and the results are disturbing.
Even with average talent at the QB position and a subpar OL, with two of the best skill players in Bijan and Worthy, our offense has disintegrated into oblivion. The buck stops at Sark.
I am surprised if not stunned at the lack of creativity. Yes, we’ve dropped passes. Many. And missed wide open receivers, like Worthy last night. But, if Plan A and Plan B are not yielding results, then you need a Plan C.
We ran one jet sweep (or similar) last night and it yielded a TD. Where are the flea flickers, Roschon throwing a pass from the wildcat, faking a screen to the right and throwing back to the left, loading heavy to the right, starting right and then pitching to the left? You get the idea. HF contributors can probably add another dozen plays that we are not seeing.
The excuse of the porous OL is legitimate, but it doesn’t explain the last twenty minute total ineptitude we have been watching in 2/3rds of our games.
Ultimately this is a challenge that Sark must address, and overcome. I hope he does so because the next several weeks — and probably the next several seasons — are riding on it.
