knapplc Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 I caught where Bo said in the post-game presser that Tommy pre-determined where the ball would go today, and didn't actually make reads. That was obvious on several plays where he had wide-open running lanes, but gave it to Ameer, who crashed into a wall of McNeese State D Line. The offense seems anchored by the Zone Read, which is why Tommy's running the show. But if you're not making a read, if you're pre-determining what you're going to do, you are doing it wrong.

ZRod Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Tommy eschewed a wide-open Ameer play after play today, instead throwing into coverage, or sailing passes long. This was not a good performance for Armstrong. He needs to clean up his decision-making in the passing game, and if he can't, put Fyfe in. I don't care if Fyfe can't run like Armstrong, we don't need the QB to spearhead this rushing attack with guys like Abdullah, Cross & Newby.To play devil's advocate, TA had 131 yards rushing with an 11.9 ypc. To be fair he was also responsible for a 9 point flip. True, I was pointing out that TA had a good day running the ball. He did.

Decision wise this could have been one of his worst outings, in the passing and read game. 1 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Tommy eschewed a wide-open Ameer play after play today In years past, things like this would have been put on Beck's shoulders (and rightfully so). What's changed? Quote Link to comment

What's changed? I think TM shouldered more blame for things like this than the OC in years past. OC and QB always get roasted when the offense doesn't perform. Quote Link to comment
