That could be part of it, but it doesn't explain
the really good Bowen offense we saw from time to time. He was just really bad at making in-game adjustments. He was always one step behind, or in some games the opposing DC simply had his number the entire time.
Granted, he lacked some talent across the board and you can't overcome that every Saturday.

He had no talent. It's hard to judge when your talent is not very good**

Nowhere close to the same talent as what we had in 2005.

Disagree. The ‘24 O had talent, just not depth.

T-Bo was inflexible. He didn't seem to alter his game plan depending on...

T-bo also forgot that the games are 60 min, not 55-57. Glad he left>**

My impression of Bowen was he tried to make players run his system instead

Agree 100% on his inability to adjust in-game**
