Dawson

[arabiannight_2323]

What is everyone’s assessment of Dawson half way through the season, his improved the offense but I wasn’t a fan of the hire originally still not a fan for the hire would like to see him mix the tempo up no change up to keep the defense on there toes.

Does not know that TE is an eligble WR.

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Guidry is a better coordinator

 

[hoops156]

hes better than gattis but overall hes been okay. we dont use the tight ends at all which is a problem going forward as we've been schemed to an extent as we got further into the year. we got fat on bad teams imo but the offense is still a lot better than last year.

Guidry game planned fine for UNC. Our DB's are trash

 

[JZCane0825]

Our QB threw for nearly 400 yards last night. It was 508-482 in total yards and we essentially scored 38 points if you count the Parrish fumble on the goal line. Blame the D if you want to point at any particular one unit but we produced enough last night to have a chance to win.

That too. I thought our front 7 held up fine

Not sure its totally fair to judge Dawson off of him with TVD because TVD has shown the same flaws with 3 oc's so far.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Idk why he’s not camped in McDaniel’s offense. He could really use some creativity in his run game. He’s struggling without having a mobile QB to help open it up.

 

[gacaneaddict]

He at least brought back a style of offense conducive to modern football.

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

We gave up 235 yards rushing on 5.5ypc, but yeah, our front 7 held up fine.

LOL.


As for the offense, I would like to see more runs outside the tackles and more TE usage, but the latter isn’t very likely.

 

[kupakong]

Decent, but not elite.

Had 17 points in 3 and half quarters. Count the Parrish fumble and it’s 24. If that game is close UNC isn’t backing off and giving us 2 garbage time scores. TVD was more around 250ish without those meaningless drives.

 

[flips]

he's far better than the idiot who ran the offense last year, but that's the lowest bar to clear.

going forward i want to see more tempo and more speed on the field. play to your quarterback's strengths and get more chunk plays. this team isn't smart or lucky enough to methodically drive down the field 5-6 times a game.

think we'll continue to see a high risk/blitz heavy defense from guidry, cause he has no other choice to paper over our defensive defencies. that's gonna lead to big plays by our opponents even if we somehow clean up our mental mistakes. to beat clemson/fsu/lousiville we're gonna have to outscore them.

i think we're gonna have big time issues with FSU's defensive ends, and probably clemson's. #61 is young and is gonna make mistakes and rivers, who has done a good job before UNC, is a guard. UNC exposed them when they pinned their ears back in the second half. so, dawson is gonna have to come up with some creative solutions

 

[BLIMPTOWN]

Everytime TVD throws a pass you have to hold your breath hoping for the best. In contrast when Penix throws a pass you are excited nowing it a high probability that it's gonna be a great pass

 

[JZCane0825]

We gave up 235 yards rushing on 5.5ypc, but yeah, our front 7 held up fine.

LOL

Most of that was in the second half

 

[YUMU]

3 things

we have been totally unsuccessful on the bubble screen plays to the RB
passing game to the RB non existent
passing game to the TE non existent

 

[rgonzalez9824]

Needs to get the TE and RB involved in the passing game. The check down is open all game.

 

[Brains]

I don't think Dawson's the problem.
