This was so good to watch and I'm sorry for Allar too when you look at this. It's just not a clear picture for QB's in this offense. Even when the line holds up, there is just no separation anywhere or even on the throws that Tengwall thinks "should" have been made, there are defenders lurking for INTs if its not a perfectly layered throw. Yes, the WRs seem to not challenge DBs to create the space, but generally, it appears the DB's can run our routes for us. As had become the case with Yurcich, the route trees are just entirely too predictable. Watching games in college and the NFL there always seems to be guys schemed OPEN, sometimes the QB doesn't have time to get the guy the ball or misses passes, but I just see nobody open in the truest sense of the word. Terry is right, small windows in this passing game that are just so hard to exploit.

I think it's both. Scheme is the largest problem but coaching is not far behind it. I would think its safe to say neither the OC or WR coaches will be back next year no matter who the coach is....

Grunk Film Study

see link above. Went through every possible angle of his performance. Some good some bad.
The biggest positive:

It took about 3 minutes of game time to realize that - in his first start, against a solid D, in a very challenging atmosphere - Grunk's processing speed was quicker than Allar's ever was after 4 years and 30+ starts.

But he couldn’t read a blitz to save his life. He may have been processing fast, but unfortunately misinterpreted what he saw.
