I agree with a few of your points for example;
-Tommy needs to be put into positions to succeed as a quarterback. There was the true option called that the defense was sure was going to be pitched but was kept byTommy and he took it to the house. What happened to him running the ball? Through the first few games he was averaging something like 80 yards a game. I understand that it was against lesser opponents, but why not establish the run game a little bit, open it up with some play action throws that he can make and then throw in some QB draws, keeper options, just mixing it up on a drive or two? If that doesn't work go back to the bread and butter.
I, for one have been pretty pleased with the offensive production and at times not the play calling. I think that starting with the Northwestern game we've started to open up the playbook a bit, reverse pass, and it is doing both good and bad. If we run the new plays or trick plays to perfection they work and the team gets results, but if we don't we seem to be in a brown colored creek without a paddle. I think this two weeks will help alleviate some of the confusion, stupid mistakes that have been taking place and our overall execution will be better.
I am not a scout, coach or qualified in any way to critique coaches or players except from my view as a fan, which I usually try to keep modest. I do think Beck needs to minimize the playbook and stick with what is working. But I also had my eyes opened a bit reading that article from last week. He can't simply call run play after run play without putting a few passes in there. I would say that the best game he has called all season was the Miami game where we attempted what 13 passes? But what some (and I mean some and mean nothing negative towards anyone by this) are forgetting is that the reason why the run game was so successful is was because of the success of the pass game, Tommy was 9/13 with two TD's, one of which was a perfectly placed bomb from Armstrong to Bell which was our first score of the game and set the tone for the running game the rest of the night.
I guess my biggest thing I learned from this week is that our O-line has ton of growing up to do these next 12 days before we face that Wisky d-line as it is fierce and will give even the best lines fits, especially if they come unprepared. I think the harsh reviews these last couple weeks is encouraging as he seems to identified many of the same problems that we as fans have also commented on. Also a few people calling for Tommy and I guess all I can say is be patient or get over it as thats all we've heard the last six years and even before that when there was no complaining our offense was horrendous and wouldn't hold a candle to this offense. Some fans just will never be happy as they're stuck in the glory days and expect us to compete for a national title year in and year out. I know it has been a long time since we;ve been in that convo, but I'm enjoying this season as should we all be.
