zoogs Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Just don't run the option with Carnes. Gosh sake. What odd playcalling. That's what, 4 option calls in 6 plays, including on 3rd and 8? Quote Link to comment
Paxo Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Can we stop doing the option please. Quote Link to comment

Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 It appears that nobody is comfortable running this option. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Carnes can't run the option worth a crap Neither can Martinez. He either pitches too soon or runs to the outside instead of cutting it upfield Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Brion didn't look that great on his first pass. But holy heck, Jamal Turner?! Also, we got to stop calling the option with Carnes. It's like the zone read with Cody. Carnes is fast enough to run the option... His problem is making the read/making the LB commit. He's indecisive. His cousin is the best option QB of all time though, so I think he'll get some sage advice before his next playing time. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Carnes can't run the option worth a crap Neither can Martinez. He either pitches too soon or runs to the outside instead of cutting it upfield Martinez doesn't look as hesitant as Carnes in getting up in defenders' faces and attacking while running. Got to play to Carnes' strengths. If Taylor goes down and we send Carnes in, are we not going to adapt to his skillset or something and just try to run the same offense with a different player, like we did last year in A&M with Cody Green? Because we know how that book ends. Lee was plenty fast, but he didn't have an attacking rushing mentality. I don' t know if Carnes has that. I think he might be an athletic QB that is good on his feet and on scrambles...but that may or may not translate to the option. If he's indecisive now, is that something that you really overcome? Just doesn't seem like a natural attacking runner. Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Just stop running the triple option. Im anxious to watch Oregons option tonight to see how it is properly run. Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Carnes can't run the option worth a crap Neither can Martinez. He either pitches too soon or runs to the outside instead of cutting it upfield Martinez has scored 3 TDs on the option today, two were long distance, and he had over 100 yards rushing. I think Martinez is doing ok with the option - that's not the part of his game that needs a lot of work. Quote Link to comment
bshirt Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 As the announcers said.....Carnes has to learn to make his guy commit on the option. He'll get it..... Quote Link to comment
OmahaPlaya Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Ah he would have gone all the way if not running into his own blocker. Quote Link to comment
