King is a problem

Advertisement
Kosi wouldve looked much better running this offense. Kosi has a better arm and better feel for how to play the RPO. And King is too short… every coach is telling their dlineman to swat the ball out of the air and they’re doing it several times a game way beyond normal.

He missed wide open guys too. I posted this last year, he makes 1-2 reads and leaves.

Welcome to college football. You just summed up 98 percent of the college starters. Usually it's one or two reads depending on pressure (not just on that play, but the cumulative effect of the game and how much they're getting pressured) and there's the outlet or overthrow to get rid of it.

King doesn't really throw it away, he tries to make a negative into a positive with his feet. This isn't new, he did it at Houston and you all drooled over it at the time. Now he plays in this trash *** system and it's a problem?

That doesn't mean he makes the wrong call at times or misses an open receiver. Every QB does that. Does he do it more, I don't know. Throw a pure dropback passer into last years playbook, with that OL, he gets decapitated by the end of the season. Kosi had a good half, but it wasn't game planned for.

Man, I've never really paid a lot of attention to your takes. I'm thinking though you should stick to recruiting tidbits.

Man as I much as like king and appreciate him, I'm starting to see he is not a qb. Definitely not a NFL QB. Thursday night we saw Brady and Dak getting the ball out in under 3 seconds consistently. King had 5 seconds or more many times and couldn't get it done.

I love you brother cause you're a Cane, but D'erik is this you....lol
 
King isn't the best but what talent would deal with the mess of these divas. King actually put us in scoring positions. But once again who of any elk would step foot in this program.

Nah, not a relative, acquaintance, or anything.

I just don't like people trying to trash our players, in particular when it's surface level.

In short, Lashlee and him with WR, OL, etc all factored in, don't work.

So that leads me to a very simple question. What happened to Houston King? He's not as good now and he didn't forget how to play. So that makes me look at the why.

I can only look surface level, game footage. I would love to see the field from the end zones and above. The lack of creativity on what we can see leads me to believe what I'm missing isn't much. Then you have opposing coaches commenting how simple our offense is, so we're back to square one.

Lashlee is the problem. Every QB will make mistakes, but that's his job to make use of his players. He doesn't use King the right way.

Hope that somewhat explains my end.

Problem is that Lashlee is a stubborn fk and keeps trying to run his power spread. Garcia needs a Leach or Riley type offense not that cr@p Lashlee runs.

I feel where you comin from bro and you do have a point about there is something different with King. In Houston his play and decision making was so much crisper and quicker.

King makes the OL look worse then they are... He holds on to the ball forever. He won't throw the ball unless the WR is WIDEEEE tf open
 
King clearly didn't see cam Harris with the open hole instead he holds the ball for a loss of yards when clearly it was a touchdown smdh can he sit out for the rest of the season he's a liability

Yep, Lashlee needs to eliminate the zone read, he can’t make the reads and he’s awkward running it.

Again, such a simple statement, but is that the simple answer.

Is he good at it, average, but maybe better than is being shown.

How many times is there someone there or coming with a clear path when you've gotta make that split second decision? Their linebackers were crashing gaps their DL was making. Our guys were double teaming guys missing players coming completely.

Bama turned them into turnstiles. Would've been a bigger bloodbath if Allen hadn't gone down.

King doesn't do a lot of directing from the line. That's tougher to do when you're not under center. When we get into tempo, there isn't time to do so. Our OL can't read crap, that or they aren't absorbing or being taught to read what they're seeing.

He could certainly do better, but the RPO requires consistency. We aren't consistent up front. Our route tree is a mess and doesn't help either.

Total mess of an offense. There's a disconnect between him and Lashlee. Square peg round hole type stuff. I want Lashlee gone.
