Cole Kmet - Are you kidding me?

One target in last two games (it was a catch by the way). That is absolute insanity. Waldron and offensive coaching staff is really irking me. Just like start of season where they went completely away from him…we come off the bye and the guy who catches everything thrown at him literally has 1 target in 2 games. Insane.

I'm with you.  They keep sending him on deep outs and seam routes.  He needs to be doing short crossers and curls and with occasional seams.  It's just disjointed.

The whole world knows he can play but the Bears. I see so many forced plays to Allen and his hands are MIA.  Why don't they scheme to get the ball to kmet instead.  With this dream team offense, they seem to be lost on what to do.  Such a waste of talent.

it really is. let's hope it's pissing off Poles because he spent so much effort putting together the roster.

It is criminal at this point. All while Allen who has 17 targets in the last 2 games and only 6 catches. 

This was a concern with Waldron coming in, he didn't use TEs, and it is showing.

Cole is a leader on this team and he has the skills. Hell, in the pregame on ESPN radio Poles talked about a discussion with Cole after the Washington debacle and it sure seemed Poles sees Kemet as a leader.

Biggs today said everything without saying it. It sounds like the players don’t respect or think highly of Waldron. 

Honestly, it is pretty evident after an entire offseason and 8 games and the bye that Waldron and Flus are not the guys. Flus' ceiling is a DC, but he is the HC. Waldron probably is a decent QB Coach, but not a OC who calls plays. That is what it looks like on the field. Flus mismanages HC duties, and Waldron can't shape the offense around the players.

If you watch the replays, Kmet is open many times and isnt getting the ball thrown to him. I get progression on routes but good QBs throw to open players and not into coverage. That's not on coaches.  CW is making bad decisions, many times when rushed he didnt dump off to the outlet and held the ball to long. That is not by design. 

He is a rookie and deserves patience but everything is not always the  coaches fault. Players need to be accountable too. 

Now we have injuries that effect everything offense. Wright is hurt, Jenkins is always hurt ,  Nate Davis is useless, we are down to 3rd string at LT.

Billings, Sweat, Brisker, Gordon on defense eventually matters. 

We have a chance at home to go 5-4 but that is not a given. If we got bodies back can we go 4-4 the rest of the season? Unless CW actually starts playing well, I would say no.

Kmet is not the 1st or 2nd read ever. That is offensive malpractice. Allen is getting fed the ball even though he can't get open.

We actually dont know that, it could be CW looking for a big play.  Is he envolved enough in the offense, absolutely not.

I don't see evidence of Caleb big play hunting? He's been making short and intermediate reads mostly? This is just a leftover narrative from college, but the film doesnt show it?

What I see is TERRIBLE first down playcalling without enough runs, and that puts us in 2nd and 12 or 3rd and 10 too often, and thats when Caleb has to make magic happen. And he often does, but you cant make a living going downfield with consecutive magic plays on 3rd down. Its not sustainable, and inevitably we punt (or go for it when we shouldnt).

But weve gotten away from the run, and we have too many presnap penalties. And all that goes to coaching.

Waldron calls the offense like it's Madden - all passes, and people arent getting open, and the OL cant protect Caleb.

Given what he's done in Washington, does anyone doubt a Kliff Kingsbury run offense this year would have been better for Caleb? Im not even saying thats the guy, Im just saying lesser QBs are doing more with better coaches. And we need more on the OL. More talent, and more teaching.

Kmet should be targeted at minimum 6 times per game.  It's kinda hard when he's either inline blocking or the deepest target.  Water is dry and fire is cold...

yup, absolutelty! and when your offense isnt making first downs, you dont run enough total plays to get everyone their targets either. Thats not meant to be an excuse, because Kmet deserves his % of targets no matter how few you have to spread around, but more of an indictment about how bad this all is, and how not running enough on first down is killing EVERYTHING.

Everyone has a right to be critized and we can guess on what the play call is, whether Caleb changed it. whether Kmet is the first read, 2nd, or 3rd. I would say he probably isnt the first read on all of  those plays . Now also is the DCs taking away the middle of the field because CW struggles on outside plays a lot. OCs usually do game plans attacking defenses. Washington and Arizona both have lousy CBs. So did he develop the game plan to attack the outside? Execution is bad so hard to say who we blame for what.
