Message: [QUOTE="orangenirvana, post: 1148751, member: 156"] It's hard to tell where the blame really lies. Of course Manuel is going to be the scapegoat for everyone at least until Sunday. And granted, I can no longer defend his play after the debacle in Houston. But personally I think Manuel has been overcoached and the staff has done a poor job with him. They've made him paranoid and more robotic than he already was by teaching him to not use his running ability and athleticism (you know, the reason he was a first round pick to begin with) and instead be strictly a pocket passer. How dumb is that? As a result he looks like Tweak from South Park as soon as the ball is snapped. I also think Marrone has done an atrocious job with the OLine, which is a huge disappointment considering his background. The guard position has been a train wreck since Day 1. But maybe everyone will play better with a veteran under center. We'll see what happens the rest of the way. [/QUOTE]
