Kelly, Whisenhunt

Look: One of the reasons Banner and Haslam are interviewing these guys is to ask them these questions:

1: We have two mobile quarterbacks without strong arms and one immobile one with a gun who was the worst rookie QB in the NFL last season.  How do these guys fit into your offense?

The correct answer will include adapting the offense to the talent you have.  If Kelly starts trying to describe Weeden running around, he will not be hired DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

Kelly is targeted for his player development, creativity, and brains.  Not for his offensive system.  If you are smart, you adapt.  They think Kelly is smart.

2: We've got a man-blocking offensive line.  The guards are not athletic, Mack is just okay in space, Schwartze is a conventional tackle, and only Thomas is suited to a zone scheme.  What will you do with this?

You clowns found out that Bill Belichick had been hired and expected him to turn MD Perry into a nose-tackle.  You think these guys are almost as dumb as you are.  Haslam doesn't hire dummies who can't adapt a scheme to the players he inherits.

Whisenhunt's last two seasons in AZ were bad.  Any coach has bad seasons if he has bad quarterbacks.  I believe he is a good candidate.

Note on Kurt Warner: Short, not much arm.  GROSSI ADD HIM TO MONTANA YOUNG ROGERS ETC.

It's possible that if it's Kelly, he comes here and decides McCoy (or even Lewis) can run the best part of his college offense.  McCoy has never had a decent shot with a decent team.  Because it's been repeated many times by many people that he is no more than a backup doesn't mean a damn thing.

As for the offensive line, if you blame this season on the offensive line you are clueless.  When a quarterback fiddles around for seven to nine seconds and then eats the ball you don't blame the line.  When a running back gets stuffed by the sixth and seventh guy it's not the line.  It's hard to block two people simultaneously.

But it is a ponderous, physical line, especially at guard.  Kelly loves zone-blocking, but that won't work with these guys.  These guys are here to overpower people.

I'm really stretching down the road here, but Mack could play right guard in Kelly's system.  He's stronger than most centers, but not as athletic.  He's quite athletic enough to play right guard.  But then, you need a new center...well that's just a big challenge if Kelly comes here.  For the first year, he'll have to do a lot of man-blocking.
