QB comparison vs Rosier of teams we played.

Bethune Cookman: 64.1%
Toledo: 58%
Duke: 50%
FSU: 60%
GT: 42.9%
Syracuse: 33.3%
NC: 43.5%
VT: 62.5%
Pitt: 62.1%
Clemson: 79.3%
Wisconsin: 67.6%

- In the last 5 road games, his best Completion % was 44.1%
- In 6 of 7 home games last year he was 50% or above. He was above 60% in 5 of them.

There's about a 15% swing when he plays at home vs. on the road.

4 of our next 5 games are at home, so he may play well in those 4 and the coaches may say "he's figured it out!". But if he struggles again @Toledo, I'd expect us to fall apart the back half of the season with 4 of our last 6 games on the road.
 
Thats why I get annoyed when I hear, "Richts playcalling is to simple!"

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if your QB cannot make the throws, you do not have an offense.

Whether it be pro, pistol, wishbone, veer, whatever.

Even the triple option you need a QB that can throw it once in awhile.

Guys are wide open and the ball is not getting there. That is NOT playcalling.
 
After watching those clips, I'm to the conclusion Rosier is the worst to ever lace them up at qb. I honestly believer DJ would be a better option than this clown
 
The pick 6 play is really infuriating. The drag route is there, easy read. Corner blitz missed, easy read. The entire left side of the field is practically green grass and he tries to throw it into a non-existent window.
Triple coverage, it wasn't a tight window, there was no window.
 
Ill tell you what; if we had Derrick Crudup as QB for the LSU game, it wouldve been a helluva lot closer. Crudup wouldve been better than Dorsey in the RPO.
 
Should've looked off Cager and went to Richards. Richards beat His guy off the line and stacked em'. Richards could've even ran a post and scored easily. For the life of me I don't understand why He continues to go to Cager like He's really our primary deep threat.

Seldom if any college QBs make full-field reads. This is a shot-play and it's either designed to go to Cager or Rosier chose that matchup pre-snap. But you're right that Richards won the release and Cager didn't. Hence why this is a stupid pass concept that should only be used on cupcake teams.

Agree He did a bad job looking off Safety, but I didn't like the route into a middle of the field Safety either. And LSU brought 6 on that play, should've had a better blitz beater than that.

Totally agree. This has been an issue for Richt even in our best games - too many all-or-nothing 1-read vertical concepts without progressions or checkdowns. Although I'll grant it is possible that Rosier just cannot execute a progression read because his footwork stinks and we know he's not the biggest self-starter when it comes to studying the playbook.

But if you look at the bottom of the screen, LSU brought a corner blitz from the boundary. And you could see the Safety cheatin' over, should've been and easy read & throw. And I'm not a fan of throwing to the trips side, defenses tend to overload that side with defenders.

Rosier never saw the blitz; it was very well-executed. Again, the throw to Jordan was not there. #40 LB White was standing right in Jordan's path but White is such a freak athlete and so instinctive that he broke quickly and practically covered 2 guys. Good coverage LBs like that are a good reason not to run horizontal-stretch reads with no vertical or levels element.

I like trips but it works best with motion, bunch or Baylor-style wide spacing. Like we could motion Jordan wide in a 1x3 and throw him a slant or fade like Jordan Reed. Or we could motion to trips bunch and get easy clean releases like the Rams do. Oh well.



If you look at LSU's coverage, they seemed to rotate from a 1-High to a 2 high. I think He should've gone to the WR at the bottom of the screen who ran His route into the hole in the zone. And this is another example of why I don't like throwing to the 3 receiver side too much.

Again this is a half-field read and only QBs like Rodgers or Russell Wilson could work back to the other side. Plus the rotation to 2-high makes the 1WR side even less appealing. This is great play design and the right call but horrible execution by Rosier. Look at his footwork on the play. Dude is all over the place for no reason.
 
The play calling aint the most fancy shît but guys are getting open and that's what you want.
It’s not, and that is why it baffles me that he believes no one can do it better than Rosier.

FYI @brock on the 3rd clip you put up about Brevin being open on an underneath route. Lawrence Cager was open on the other said too. The replays on ESPN showed it.

The read is to Cager. Brevin isn't even open until the LB reads Rosier. If Rosier moved off to Jordan, the MLB doesn't react and he isn't open. That is why some of these "wide open" threads are ridiculous. People react to guys "wide open" often when the ball is already released or the defense has reacted to their reads.

This is all good stuff. Agree completely.

Your giving a little too much credit to that LB...he just wouldn’t have gone very far. It still would’ve been a better decision than throwing it to Jeff.

Not really, he's sitting perfectly on the play and read/reacts to Rosier.

Sure its better if he goes to Jordan but he isn't open. That is my problem with these type of threads. Half the time its he's "wide open" but they fail to account for LBs underneath or S over the top (not always). Or like I said the ball was already thrown or defense has reacted to the QB.

On that same note. If you are in year 3 of your tenure as HC1 and you don't have QB1 figured out then you are a ***aloon.

Does Mork Rich even run bunch sets?
 
“The playcalling would have been fine if the plays worked.”

Thanks bork!! I guess the fellas just didn’t feel like being cheeseburgers today.
