Someone who is making a lot of plays…

Advertisement
I WISH SOMEONE, ANYONE would ask him how he planned the offense to evolve from #1 offense last year, what did he do in offseason, what did he think could be improved upon, what was what he focused on going into this season? Something real.. Something in depth.. Our reporters treat him like he had 100th ranked offense or something.. We had #1 offense in all the land and nothing..
Do you honestly expect to get insightful meaningful questions from that peanut gallery of knuckle dragging buffoons AKA the South Florida sports media(The CIS staff excluded of course)? Not likely.
 
I mean yes, Tunnel screen to Jacoby George for a TD against Wake. But the point being that Cam made multiple great throws in every game so I wouldn’t need you to make a list of them because, you know, I watched the games.
I was just adding my personal fave amigo...yes of course he made them in bunches.

He played with an effortless smoothness. Kinda thhe Eric ****erson of QBs.

Impressive player who elevated our Canes.
 
Knowing that there’s gonna be considerably less improv from Beck, that’s gonna put more onus on Dawson to call the right play, unless they give Beck free will to audible, like Cam had.

I need to see improvement from Dawson in:
1. Better run game diversity, he was way to predictable in utilizing the same half dozen or so calls
2. Draw and screen game - under utilized with little diversity
3. More misdirection (both run and pass) to exploit Beck’s athleticism
4. Creativity to get young playmakers easy touches - it stung watching BSmith crush at SMU…. We’ve got a lot of talented but unproven skill guys. I wanna see Dawson engineer easy touches for Carr, Lofton, Schott, Toney, Pringle
(Screens, jet sweeps, swing passes, wild cat)

I’m not saying Dawson is bad, but most people that have played competitive football would agree that when watching Dawson while at Miami, he’s not winning a chess match with his play calls….. he’s got a ton of room to improve
If he does this, I think we can have whatever is better than the number one offense in the country.
 
Go watch literally any game from last year. If I said Can Ward made some elite throws last year would I need to provide specific examples for you? Find a YouTube highlight of ANY game last season and you’ll see at least two or three wide receiver/tight end screen plays that went for good yardage.

You made the blind statement that Dawson’s offense didn’t use screens. I said “go watch the games and you’ll see a bunch of them”. You want me to go through an entire season of game footage and find exact moments for you? Proving you wrong is not worth that amount of time. Watch the games. Or don’t and just hold onto your opinion. I don’t give a ****.
I don't know what TF you was looking at last yr. But Dawson screen game absolutely sucked last yr. That bubble wide receiver screen sh@t sucked. If that's what you're referring to. No RB screens I can think of. Dawson has a lot to prove this yr. So we shall see

I remember a lot of short side screen stuff to guys that really didn’t make a lot of sense

I’d rather see some screens with more space to people with more speed and elusiveness

No stats to back it up but I just remember some wtf moments. I like Dawson but I’m hoping to see him keep improving on some things

You’re the one claiming Dawson’s “screen game is elite” and now you’re backtracking and saying there’s evidence of 2-3 screens a game….. those are two drastically different things

Agree to disagree I guess…..

When guys are jerking off to “the #1 offense” stat, and implying it was mostly because of Dawson, I call them out

Ward went from the 3rd round to the number 1 pick under Dawson. Give the man his props. I’ve seen enough from the offensive staff. Get the D right and get this **** rolling.

Ward himself said he was projected late rounds. I don't think Dawson made Ward. But I do think we should give Dawson credit for putting him in the best position to be great. And helping him unlock his natural born talent. He'll do the same with Beck. People still doubting Dawson are ****ing in the wind.
 
Reading is hard for some people

Maybe read a post twice to make sure you can understand it before coming after someone

Yes let’s get him on record to tell everyone what his offensive plan is this year. We deserve to know after he put together the #1 O in the country last year. How can anybody trust he will have an even better plan this year?? Let’s demand a white board presser!!!

Other top OCs have no issue talking about this type of stuff all the time. Atleast ask him and let him decline to answer. other Ocs talk about visiting NFL teams, Andy Reid in NFL more cut throat has talked about decade plus what he is doing prior.. You really think it matters if an oc says he visited this place or where he sees taking the offense in upcoming season? You got to be trolling, no way you believe a DC can stop an offense based on an interview clip :ibis-roflmao-sm3: :jordan:

Just bc YOU want to know doesn’t mean he should or would. Keep especially ND guessing for game 1. Who knows maybe Beck is stronger in one area play action etc why hint that? Dawson has proven himself so I’m not concerned about having him explain himself. If Guidry were back then yes that would be warranted .
 
You’re not going to see a lot of variety in the run game. You may see a little more outside zone and an occasional pin/pull toss because we’re not alternating two 230 lb running backs anymore but that’s about it.

There were sacrifices Mario was willing to make when he brought in an Air Raid coordinator. What he wasn’t going to budge on is his run game philosophy. The first priority is to not lose yardage on run plays. Risk/reward plays like sweeps and counters aren’t going to be in our playbook.

Our WR/TE screen game was elite last year but running back screen plays were mostly nonexistent. That’s mostly because teams just dropped 8 against us and dared Cam to throw the ball downfield. Screens are only effective if the opponent is bringing pressure. If the opponent is only rushing three, a running back screen pass won’t gain much.
I dont think much sacrifice was made in the run game. Houston ran the same up the middle dives under Dawson as we do under Dawson. Everyone says its Mario's running game but I dont think thats a fact just off of what ive seen Dawson run at Houston. I dont expect many changes with Dawson because most Air Raid guys run what they run and they dont deviate from it much. Here look much of the same stuff as we see here

You got it man, we are just gonna disagree and that is fine. Enjoy your Sunday.. 21 days til game day

Dawson is a really good interview. Gives good insights on his strategy and reasoning very transparent

Definitely some valid concerns with him but when people would blurt out things about the tight end usage or tight splits you’re just like Jesus tell me you’ve never listened to the man speak before without telling me
 
You don’t know how to read dumb ****

Improv = broken play/backyard football,

Ward extended so many plays, that’s what I was referring to, wasn’t referring to anything regarding audibling
Ward also extended some plays to the detriment of the team. People always seem to forget that. If the guy would’ve just taken the check down, we win the Georgia Tech game and are playing for an ACC championship last year.

Why would any sane coach if asked your questions give an answer other than we are just working hard to get better. Last year was last year. We are working toward next year.

I guess he could say, well Notre Dame we are going to emphasize xxxx this year and scrap some of the yyy from last year.
