What if we had given Surace a possession to manage in each Big Ten games and his completion percentage was 70% in Big Ten play.. what would everyone be saying now?
They don’t get that one series isn’t enough as QBs need to get into a rhythm.
Why is it assinine? Before you use a word like assinine, how about remembering how our second half first series have gone? Not well, will be the answer you find. So, why not? In recent games the D have knocked down more and more of AK's passes.. why not switch it up, make it harder to read teh QB (because it is a different QB). "Assinine".. really now. In his limited play this year AJ is 4/7 57% with 2 TDs playing with 2nd team players.
And yet we expect teh first series of the game to go well, don't we? And they have. Probably because it is a well-practiced script.
First possession of the second half is considered the most important possession of the game. So you’re going to give the most important possession to an inexperienced qb just to give him game time experience?
we have been failing at it.. have you not noticed?
Yep I’ve been watching. But I also know how important the middle 8 are. We are not failing because of AK. We are failing because of preparation and scheme. The other team makes adjustments and are prepared we are not.
the buck stops there, right? you tell me why we fail at it. I told you why I think having a well-practiced script that the D has not seen with a QB they have not seen would be good. Now you tell me why we have failed in the 3rd quarter.
Only if they get a separate well practiced script. Spoken like someone that has never played a team sport. Much less a contact sport.
And I offer a solution to preparation and scheme.
The issue is we get away from successful plays and schemes too soon. **** if the opening script works call the same script again for all I care. We get away from success to soon. How many times last year did we follow up a Monangai run dominant scoring drive to come out with pass heavy next drive. Happened very frequently.
It has nothing to do with the QB or any player on the field. Kirk is calling the same plays the defense has adjusted to and they are easy to sniff out. It was very apparent against UW last week. He needs to call 1 or 2 things not on film yet and throw the defense off.
I am not... that's why you don't understand it. AJ has to practice the 2nd half script with teh 1st team O. We do not need screwups because QB changed.
You mean like wheel routes to the running back or passes to the tight end up the seam?
Haven’t really seen the TEs downfield much at all.
I think that they’ve probably run it a few times but Athan hasn’t thrown it to the RB much at all. I’ve seen the RB out in the flat a lot more now but he rarely looks that way.
The fact that RU has 2 big WRs who can't be covered unless they're interfered with and the OC is calling runs up the middle is a large part of the problem.
I made a silly joke about wheel routes only being rollerskate wheels. Saw the seam routes. Think my silly joke was missed.
We’re missing the most important component to be able to rebuild via the portal: money.
Considering what people post around here, I can see why some would not take it as a joke.
One big change UCLA made by the interim coach is he fired the defensive coordinator 2 games ago and brought in the DC from Fresno and overnight revamped the D and had 2 big wins
