Dupre and Dural seem not to be in tune with the offense, why not give other guys a chance.

Ball is not the problem, he preaches technique

I hope I'm wrong, but I see very little chemistry between Harris and the receivers. Timing? Trust?

Tony Ball is clearly the problem. The drop off from the WRs under Henry to now is huge and obvious.

Coaching matters more than almost anything at this level.

dupre and dural have seniority, therefore they should start no matter what.

Yet the receivers have almost none.

Our WRs were clearly better last year. And the personnel is the exact same. Hard not to lay at least a little bit at Balls feet. I know he's not out there physically dropping the passes, but smthgs up.

No. Ball ain't the one out there dropping balls.

Hes the same age or younger then those 3

Blame Tony Ball? ...lol. How about blaming Cameron for not developing some effective route combinations to help the passing game get the WRs into space? How about blaming Cam for not dialing up plays that will work the middle of the field instead of deep balls,quick screens slants and an occasional "Out route"? How about blaming Cam for not developing formations that would put defense's in more complex pre-snap situations?

You had some of the same problems under Henry.

Heck no, the problem is lazy arse WRs, who feel entitled and dog it b/c LF7 is getting the most balls. If Dural and Dupre want to sulk, put the some other players in.

Your Wr's whining about Fournette getting the ball seems like more of a problem than the technique the coaches are teaching.

These kids need to be like Jarvis and Odell when they had some drops. They were sneaking into the practice facility at night to get more reps on the jugs machines. They were relentless in their preparation and turned out to be the best “hands” duo ever at LSU.

I think Tony Ball has got them blocking well and hitting their cuts well, but I think we need more intermediate and short routes to be installed by Cam.

The one thing that does piss me off about Malachi is his inability or refusal to “high-point” the ball so far. He has this really long, slender frame and great jumping ability, but he doesn’t seem to try and pull the ball out of the air from 10 ft. up. That is the kind of ability that gets you millions in the pros so he should work on that.

everything you said has some truth to it, but I think this goes more to Miles' philosophy of not worrying much about "scheme" vs. simply "our guys are better than your guys". The problem is even average corners can cover basic routes. I think working in some motion, combo routes, tight end delays, drag routes etc. would do wonders for the passing game. Give the d-backs something more to worry about than simply "cover this guy, he's going to run one of four routes the majority of the time".
