After watching this video and rewatching part of the game it is hard to put a ton of blame on Hackett for play call. Guys are getting schemed open and Russ isn't reading the defense or missing throws. Poor throws probably were influenced a bit by the injury and I think a lot of the poor reads on Russel's part are made worse by an offensive line in shambles, but I think Russ has a lot to own in our failures as an offense. That being said, I don't know that Russ's strengths have ever been linked with making the right read and dissecting a defense from the pocket. Seems like Hackett's strengths as a play caller are not well suited in matching Russ's strengths. Hopefully things will start to gel and they will eventually find a balance, but idk. Also I am glad he mentions it in this video, but the tyrie cleveland route on the gilmore int was absolutely terrible. Russ could have made an adjustment on the throw and gone up the field after seeing gilmore inside, but he shouldn't have had to make that decision. If cleveland wouldn't have run the least crisp/most rounded off route possible then thats an easy td. Lots of Russ not making the best read followed by making a good read and skill players dropping the ball or not executing on their end. Fantastic. No wonder Hackett looks confused. Seems like Russell needs more time understanding the playbook. Fans should calm down and let this marinate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Hackett has definitely made some boneheaded gaffes thus far, but I do have to give him some credit here. He schemed our receivers WIDE open over and over in this game, and Russ just straight up didn't see them, or missed the throw. You can tell Kurt Warner was irritated with Wilson during this session lol. As are a lot of pro bowl players around the league and on espn who know what they're looking at with this offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that Hackett is not schemeing to Wilson's strengths - he is attempting to put a square peg into a round hole. That is on the coach who should be tailoring his offence to the strengths of his QB - Hackett isn't doing that and, for me, its a further demonstration that he is not HC material. Sean Payton was asked who he would do to sort out the Denver offence - his response is that he would get the film every touchdown pass that Wilson has thrown and every red zone pass that Wilson has completed and use them as the basis for the offensive scheme - Hackett hasn't done that - he is using the GB offence that is tailored for Rodgers and it isn't working.

paul-mac Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Important game on MNF. Win and we go into a tie for the 7 seed and only one game out of first place. Lose and we’d be 2 games back in the division and 1.5 from the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They flow so much better, far less repetitive. And he sounds like he’s actually interested in what he’s talking about, as opposed to Warner sounding like he’s reading a script. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt's content seemed to have more substance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
