You’ve made my entire point. I’ve said since camp this is a very difficult offense to pick up , guess who else had that and the players struggled because of it? Enos.I was at Southern Miss and Texas A&M.. I see it but I guess it's a different perspective. I think his footwork is slightly off making him miss some of these throws and they're not coming out with great touch and accuracy like we saw last year.. yes I see that. That's part of a new system.
1) What other throw other than to Redding was completely missed in terms of 8/10 times this needs to be hit? Maybe K Smith in the 1st quarter.. still a tough throw very early in the game when you haven't even had a couple throws to find a rhythm. To Brinson in the 1st quarter with pressure in his face? Idk.. Mallory just got whipped on that play. I think there was one or 2 against USM as well. 2 a game is not bad in college. I've seen Bryce Young do the same thing.
2) What wheel are we talking about? The one Parrish was out of bounds double covered or to Arroyo? The one to Arroyo was again the inability of WR to run the right route. Quarters coverage and K Smith ran right into the safety coming in to help instead of forcing the field safety to stick with him up the seam. The field safety then comes over and makes a play when he should have been occupied by the WR. Just not a high football IQ team in general and can't read coverage. Maybe he wasn't coached enough to do it right? 3rd year player though.
3) Again you just described him not going through his progressions... because they're out of sync due to things out of his control.. re-routing, running the wrong route, running a route 2 yards to deep and not coming out of their break when he hits his dropback. Its all timing a rhythm. His progressions aren't progressing the way they're designed. Some more of this could be on TVD and I'm giving him too much credit.. but I'm gonna lean WR right now.
I don't care who is playing QB. It's not gonna look different until you either execute this offense the way it's designed or you get someone like Jeudy who can create separation in a phone booth and doesn't matter if he's running a route a few yards deep, short, or too slow or too fast.. whatever the case. That or just have a security blanket like Restrepo who is open more than 50% of the time and right on time with good chemistry. We have neither.
I also said going from Lashlees offense will be very tough for the skill guys and the qb. Well here we are. Just because I don’t post things doesn’t mean I don’t hear crap. And everything I’ve been seeing is what I was warned about when Gattis got the job. So Maybe that’s why I’ve been a tad rustled.
Fact is why are we running an offense thats super difficult to run in 2022? I’ve heard NFL Head Coaches, assistants and scouts say they’ve dumbed down offenses in the league because it was just too much. Kids now don’t have attention spans or focus to put too much on them. On top of that you only have so many hours in the class room with the cba to teach. Coach Jason Brown from last chance U does breakdowns on how simple offenses are and how lost pro qb’s are with simple blitz pickups.At one time the qb had complete control of the entire O. Now everything has to be simple and a portion need their hands held. What’s crazy is the college offenses has made their way to the pros , it was the opposite way before. The pro game’s schematics always trickled down.
You and I have both mentioned this offense is very difficult but if the NFL is dumbing stuff down why is Gattis making it harder? You said yourself eight months isn’t enough time to pick this up? It’ll take a year or longer. And I’m like What?!?!?! If you can‘t install and teach your offense in one off season it’s a you problem. If your players are regressing it’s a you problem. If guys can’t run your offense and read coverages it’s a you problem.
In todays CFB you don’t get much class time with your kids , i believe its twenty five hours tops. So it’s a must you at least try to simplify things.
I’m not saying make the offense Briles like simple but you have to meet somewhere in the middle.
