Can't play pitch and catch when all you do is send the receivers on deep verticals with no short/intermediate routes and an OL that can't hold blocks
 
Kaaya may like the playing out of the shotgun, but the O-Line performed a lot better in a traditional formation. As well Mark Walton is just not good in the shotgun.

Its amazing how much you all will make excuses for Brad Kaaya.

Our WRs were running all kinds of routes I clearly saw short and intermediate routes as well. The reality is he is terrible no matter what, if its a short route hes still inaccurate he still chokes
 
Imagine Brad Kaaya in Art Briles offense having to throw 50 times a game? Lol he would be benched in the 1st half of the 1st game. A pocket passer that can't throw in the pocket no matter if under center or in shotgun smh he is terrible anyway you slice it.

x's infinity. It was insanity.

They literally blitzed every 3rd down. You'd think that we'd catch on, but nope. There we were again driving on third down, and Kaaya's on the ground before the WR's are even out of their breaks.

Some of our fans iq is lacking. Yes kaaya should have thrown the ball away on a few of the sacks he had. But the oline was constantly getting beat and for whatever reason va tech was blitzing on 3rd and long yet we were still running long progression routes while not looking back for the ball... you can't convert 3rds like that's. I don't know who can

People making stupid statements about other teams.....if you are going to make comparisons at least know what you are talking about. Briles offense is a run first offense...they run the ball more than pass and its not even close... And that system relies on a mobile/running QB...hence they dont recruit pocket passers. WHich i dont understand why RIcht is running this type of offense with a slow footed QB

Yep. Richt's passing game is awful, always has been. He HAS to run the football or his offense and team go to ****.

Yeah, he certainly is not inculpable - he deserves it. Like others have said, this is a complete system failure. Sometimes Kayaa makes bad decisions or is skittish around the pocket, sometimes the OL collapses and sometimes the playcall is for all deep verts with no short/intermediate routes. Lots of blame to go around...
 
Thank you, tbaycane...shellshocked is a PERFECT word to describe Kaaya's play right now. Don't get me wrong, that OL is more like Swiss cheese than anything else but on one of his sacks last night, there was hardly any pressure and he looked like he was having a seizure in the pocket. Kaaya is an average Qb right now that will get eaten alive at the next level IF he makes an NFL roster and anyone that thinks otherwise has an IQ of a potato.

Kaaya winces at ANY sign of pressure and has started taking dives ... its a wrap hes shellshocked

RPO is a half assed compromise offense. It doesn't fully commit to anything. Playing scared.

So many college plays are bailed out by athletic quarterbacks, regardless of scheme. The play is blown up but one player saves it. When we forfeit that aspect completely and brainstorm to rely on a reluctant hybrid with a happy footed stationary quarterback, that happy footed stationary quarterback better have Peyton Manning ability or nearby.

Kaaya should be under center with a commitment to actual drive blocking out of traditional power sets. There are tons of clever permutations out of those power sets, including some that seemingly have been lost to history. For example, during the late '80s and into the '90s one variation that continually baffled college and pro defenses was an I formation fake pitch to the tailback. The quarterback would spin and fake the wide toss, and then plant immediately and throw a quick slant to either the trail side tight end or receiver. It worked time and again, often for huge gains, especially when that team had a commitment to the running game and therefore the flow of the fake pitch had to be respected. You tell me we can't fake a right pitch to Walton and have Njoku break inside for a slant from the left slot?

That's merely one example. Kansas City abused that play when they had Christian Okoye. Nowadays with all the tinkerbell schemes too many fans and coaches want to pretend a power look is limited by design. It's simply not the case, and right now basic power fits our personnel and needs. Our offensive linemen are condemned to looking far worse than they really area because we don't allow them to crash forward and smack somebody. For some reason when those plays fail in a condensed heap we ridicule them far beyond the standard RPO crap, which fails with dependable regularity.
