Penos gets a lot of (deserved) hate for his terrible offense but he may have been an even worse play caller. Everything was clunky with no rhythm. He’d call a first down run and if the play only gained a yard or two, he immediately went to a deep/intermediate pass on second down. Instead of calling another run or maybe a short pass to try to set up a third and short, it was like he was playing Canadian football where you have to punt on third down. Also, I could not believe the number of third and long play action passes he called. Nobody is biting the run fake on third and nine! I mean every 14 year old kid playing video game football knows this.
I know there’s a lot of doubters out there and I don’t blame you but I am a firm believer that Lashlee+King is going to be explosive here. Running a garbage pro style offense at Miami is the exact same thing as trying to run an odd front, two gap defense at Miami. Yeah, maybe if you happen to get lucky, you can find the players to make it work but you’re basically going 100% against the grain when it comes to the players you can recruit here and the high school systems they play in. Why try to be big, slow, power football when FAST is everywhere and everything here?
