There is a great poster on here that has created a couple of threads with stats that delineate what I’m talking about. I’m surprised that you didn’t see those threads when they were at the top of the 1st page.
10000000% agree on wasted first downs vast majority of the season. Especially out of that concept it's a joke. Absolutely when coaches make adjustments we have to make our own. I just know it may fall on Mario because ultimately he's responsible. But that's not him that's calling these things in. If we're gonna give Dawson credit for the good and blame Mario for the bad why doesn't it work the opposite way as well. A good to great coach in this climate is a ceo at the end of the day. He needs to rely on his hires to do their jobs. Just we have to realize the good and the bad works both ways. Not just all the ****. Also we had SIGNIFICANT improvement on the field this past season. Sometimes I suppose that's just me who sees this. Cause when I allow myself to read through some of the things posted on here I legit question how people see this game the way they do.
Do u feel we had balanced offensive output this last season or no? And just so we're clear what illustrates balance? Is it what we attempt to do or is it only results?
Those are all fair points, and I agree with you.
Thanks so much, brother! I’ll search to see if it was him that shared those threads. Much appreciated!
I believe statistically we were pretty balanced without looking up % pass vs run. I don’t believe our offense showed balance consistently. There were many games we were run heavy and then games we were pass heavy. We had no dynamic play calling where our OC caught there defensive coaches off guard. Straight called a run play when everyone was expecting pass and vice versa. We were unbalanced in our run game relying on the inside trap to nowhere far too often. Unbalanced in our passing game underutilizing our TEs and RBs effectively in the passing game.
What about the second half of the A&M game? Everyone on here was popping boners like a 7th grader over our new OC who was aggressive throwing the ball with a lead to “end this MFer right now” as Dawson so eloquently put it.
The word “air” is extremely misrepresented when talking about an air raid offense. In fact, it refers to a fast paced offense that doesn’t throw it on every down, or even the majority of the time. Many think that “air raid” means throwing the ball all over the field on almost every down.
You missed my other long rant about how TVDs mental breakdown is what really cost us the season. Our coaches had no more faith in him and he already had lost faith himself.
Half this board thinks Air Raid is just throwing it every down. Literally no team is that unbalanced today. Leach was the only coach still passing on 70% of plays and well, he’s not exactly coaching anymore.
Yes. I did stats and rankings after every game and Vs opponent each week.
I entirely agree with this, I think we're thinking the same thing.
