Dear Shawn Watson,

[The Dude]

Oklahoma is taking away the zone read. Pretend your a football coach.

 

 

Signed, The Dude.

Seriously if Watson throws this game away with zone read after zone read, I'm going to write him a nasty letter. We're talking borderline death threat.

[zoogs]

It's pretty simple. OU sold out to stop the run up the middle early on, because we were doing that. We had some success with the zone read early on. Some of the plays we have been hurt on it because Taylor isn't making the right read. He's made a few awful reads actually.

 

So we change it up. It's a chess match. Back and forth.

[Count 'Bility]

Yes we do need to change it up, but how long will it take to do that? Watson has already wasted 2 2nd half possessions with the crap, as those 2 possessions were '09 bad.

Dear Zoogies,

 

Your relentless defense of Shawn Watson is playing like a broken record. Give up.

Martinez hasn't made all the right reads but Watson's play calling isn't allowing Martinez to make plays...calling the same play over and over doesn't help.

We can look at the total yards at the end of the game as well as the points scored by the offense already, and compare that to what people were saying before the game about what would be enough for Watson to show.

 

Not much more to say than that.

So you're done? Glad your satisfied with 17 early points followed by 3 quarters of a worthless offense. You're right, I think that is fairly similar to what most people were saying before the game. Watson showing some consistency? Remarkable...we should hang on to him. Maybe as the 1st quarter OC?

What happened to the wildcat? Let Rex throw it!

I don't know if there was ever a point in time when consistency was something that should have been expected out of our raw freshman QB, even when Taylor was healthy. At least deal in reality here. I think most would not have expected much more than 20 points and figured if we scored more than that, good chance for a win. Well, the offense has done that. If we lose this game it will be in no small part due to the defense. Although to be fair there is blame all the way around. * Turnovers being #1 on the blame list by a mile.

Considering we would run the zone read a lot out of that, I don't think many would like to see it. Although as I'm typing this Burkhead is making a 19-yard run on a zone read out of the Wildcat.

When a great team loses through complacency, it will constantly search for new and more intricate explanations to explain away defeat.
