They are running the plays they are capable of running. The OC has been there for 9 months and he has a QB with limited experience. When you add more plays it reduces reps of each play ran in practice. You get better by getting reps.
I disagree! You have to admit, Wimsatt has been at RU for 2 1/2 yrs, certainly no longer a rookie. Why are they coddling him and treating him like a freshman. By now, after running the same plays for 6 straight games he should know them cold. My concern is that the coaches have not inserted new plays and his inability to be creative on the fly when opposing defenses have a play covered. He certainly has the requisite athletic ability.
The answer is Wimsatt is not good. People can say he is getting better but he isnt a good QB so you play safe to minimize mistakes and turnovers, unfortunately the one he had today probably cost us a chance of winning that game.
they only run the plays they feel they can confidently execute. With so many new kids seeing significant time, this limits the plays they will run.
True. Even Schiano's better defenses struggled to defend teams that used misdirection and zone blocking.
Which is why we accomplished so much development the cupcake game. Oh, sh*t. I take that back.
It's not the coach who is throwing the high and wide passes.
Exactly and perfectly written. We don't have a winning QB as of yet. Hopefully, the current freshman or the 24 recruit will fill the position.
It's the coach who recruits and trains the QB. This is deja vu all over again: we don't have the right QB, wait for the next one, or the next one, or the next one. Is it 2023 or 2009? Are we talking about Tom Savage? At some point you have to conclude Schiano can't make it happen and it's a critical part of his job.
Most on this board has asked, mentioned, talked, complained, etc. If you’re talking about reporters at the presser, they would be banned if they ask a question that’s not allowed. They can’t even talk about what goes on in practice or roster moves without permission.
He has attempted 300+ passes over the course of three years. When does the "limited experience" excuse go away?
It’s not an excuse. It’s just a fact. He’s played the equivalent of one season under 2 different OCs and is still 19. This year was always a growth year. The offense is better than I expected considering where it was 11 months ago.
I think.. GUESS.. that Gavin threw that wrong. He remembered the throw there that Dremel scored on and just made teh same throw to the same spot instead of what that down/distance called for... or Dremel ran the wrong pattern... they were either not on the same page or Winsatt was just inaccurate.. and that is a possibility too. All he needed to do was get outside the rush and threaten a run to the corner and that would have freed up Dremel or someone else.
Schiano is not the only coach that gives input about the recruitment and potential ability of a high school player. What Schiano has to do is not be stubborn and admit a mistake was make about Wimsatt. Accuracy cannot be taught; you have it or you don't. You can ask a player to throw to the outside shoulder or inside; but that athlete still is the one who has to make it happen. There are many visual and physical factors that an individual is born with that contribute to the issue of accuracy or any athletic ability.
The notion that Wimsatt is inaccurate is sheer nonsense. He actually throws accurately most of the time >50% completion rate. It’s when he demonstrates bad mechanics, the ball sails on him, which is why they dont have him throwing over the middle a lot. Gavin’s decision making is what needs to be improved. He will get better, just like Mike Teel and Gary Nova did over the course of their career.
I don't consider 15/35, in his last game, highly accurate. Guess what, bad mechanics are a major part of accuracy. One has to wonder, that if after this length of time, his mechanics will ever improve enough to lead to improved accuracy.
you should be too, it's year 4 and across the world of CFB, coaches are getting more with less in less time.
but it's the coach that put us in a position to have a kid doing that.
you just shoot yourself in the foot all the time. 300 pass attempts is by far, experienced in today's world.
It college football. It always going to be a revolving door of players. It so bad now that the NCAA has removed the 25 cap. Why can other school manage new kids but Rutgers can’t?
The minimum standard for QB accuracy the way the game is played now is over 60%. A 50% completion percentage was the standard when there were no facemasks and the helmets were leather. A QB with a 50% completion percentage is an inaccurate passer. Teel was game managing hard fought low scoring rockfights in 2006 despite being in an offense with multiple NFL players on the OL and at the skill positions. Nova improved when he got actual coaching from an OC who knew what he was doing. And if your passing offense doesn't use the middle of the field, any DC worth the going pawn shop rate on his headset is going to make your offense look exactly as bad as RU's offense has looked in the last 2 games.
he was 45% vs Wisconsin, only Wagner and Mich was he over 50% this year. He's NOT doing well when throwing
This.. I think is right. I think the Wimsatt outside runs behind a sweep-type pulling line looked pretty good. There was no deception to that.. he just took the snap and ran it. Wild-KNIGHT! I think that shows the sweep type plays make the defenders move sideways and our OL seems quick enough to make a difference outside.
