zoogs Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Meh, I'll never understand why people want our offense to be so simple as to be wrapped up in three words. Offenses *rarely* are that way, even when you do have labels applied to them. We lacked multiplicity this year. Our hands were tied constantly with Taylor at QB, because honestly he was a one-trick pony for the most part. Any advancements he made disappeared and didn't come back post-injury. And then he became a NO-trick pony. We were far too simple, far too limited, and it is time those decisions are revisited with a critical eye. Quote Link to comment
NEBRASKANHEAT Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Our offense this year is much like an American League Baseball team, we wait and wait and wait for the home run. While Martinez and Helu were healthy, we had that threat, without the home run threat, we became a 3 & out offense. nice. That actually sums it up. Waiting for the big homerun and lost if it didn't come.. And it was amazing how you seemed to know almost immediately if it was going to be a good offensive day or a bad one. They either understood the game plan and were unstoppable or didn't an were inept. Vs. any opponent. Good defense or bad defense. If they simply didn't understand, they were finished.

Some of the most complex offensives in the game understand what their primary objective is. Wether it be to set up the run and then use play action pass ala bama, to zone reads such as oregeon, to an air assault like texas tech or Indy. We lacked the one defining thing we were going to do and that would allow us to be complex and gameplan our opponents differently with the rest of the play calling. Quote Link to comment
Vizsla1 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I would have better luck finding for my wife's g-spot than to be able to identify this offense Quote Link to comment

mnhusker Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Win early games nice and big then when you get to real teams choke and hide behind injuries and youth. Clearly the coaching is not an issue, it's just some bad luck. You don't realize how hard it can be when a QB is hurt and young, Watts has been through a ton. Quote Link to comment
bshirt Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Jack of all trades and a master of none. We have no identity whatsoever and none has been wanted by our OC who for years always trumps "multiple" as his card. Well, his card has been played for years now and the chips are all gone.

husker fat boy Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I think they are gonna call the current Watson style the 'Midwest Toast Nah-fense.' Quote Link to comment
RedRex Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Mass Confusion and Ineptitude The name of the game is MISDIRECTION! And as you can plainly see by the fact that no one seems to look like they know where they're supposed to go or what they're supposed to do, Watson is excelling in all areas. Quote Link to comment

While Martinez and Helu were healthy, we had that threat, without the home run threat, we became a 3 & out offense. This was my worry by game 2 of the season. The huge plays were nice, but they obviously weren't gonna last. And boy did they ever not last... Quote Link to comment
