Coley for the life of him cannot teach or knows how to teach these kids how to run the WR screen! It always gets blown up. Just terrible!

A very good effort by the Hurricanes last despite the rain. I really can't understand Foley as he is a very good recruiter BUT a high school play caller. This play NEVER works and he ran it like 4 times last night. That play not should be in the playbook because Brad Kaaya does not have any zip on the ball. The play takes way too long to develop and EVERYONE in the country knows we run this play including the Chinese, Russians, and Eskimos. The best play in football is the element of surprise and maybe Coley should listen to the profound words of Gomer Pyle. ( SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE ) Time to trash that play and throw the ball down the field like the play to R. Scott. We have a nIce trio of running backs. Next week we should bring an ear of corn to the game too.

I agree. It is strange that with the size we have Wr this play on paper should work. But time after time we show that we are unwilling to block for it and we don't have the element of surprise. Unless you have corners so deep worried about deep balls you just don't run it.
 
Screens are one of those things that should be part of an ****nal but used on situational downs - not on any down. They require a lot of coordination and if you have a lot of newbies on the OL like we do, it will get blown up

Would also help if our receivers could block worth a ****.

That play takes like 5 seconds to develop, by the time the WR (usually Coley) catches it, there's a defender wrapped around his legs
 
Play calling appears to be designed to confuse the opponent's defense by means of random selection, but mostly confusing to the fans. Down and distance, previous success, and any or all other factors are considered irrelevant. Someone please give James Coley a copy of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War."

Coach Coley has one of these in his head, with few balls: https://youtu.be/pzYEkxmKAmg
 
You would think they would be better at it. WR screen is one of just 3 plays in Coley's play book so they must practice it a lot.
 
You only throw WR screens if you have leverage on the edge. (Depending on how the secondary is aligned)

We just throw them regardless of how the defense is aligned. The defense can be in press-man and we'll still throw the screen.

Preach my brotha!!!!
 
Screens work well when used strategically. Now teams run WR screens based off numbers advantage to the side of the screen. If there's more defenders than blockers, the QB should audible to a different play. Coley's problem is there not only not run well they are not being used strategically. His thinking I'm assuming on 3rd and short defenses will pile the Los to stop the run, therefore, having a numbers advantage on the outside. Well if your track record shows that you routinely throw screens on short yardage downs teams are going to disguise as if their stacking the box only to adjust before the snap. Also, these screens are run out of the same formations with the same player alignment, therefore, giving the defense the green light to blow it up.

Looking at the bright side, thank goodness no more looking to the sidelines for the play. Next, no more bubble screens!

While he's at it he ought to scrap that bubble screen too. Coley = Pat Nix = HS play caller. What did we produce last night, 350 yards of offense? That won't cut it against better teams.
