Year 7 and the same things. Turning over every stone, need to simplify to allow the guys to go 100 mph, no identity............... (and the hope that Bo is being savvy and misleading with the 5-0/50 quote) I alluded to the same thing in my post above, but have been proven wrong year after year. (I hope this is the one when we see some gamesmanship though)
We want to win? Run the ball. Its that simple. As mentioned above, go with high percentage throws that TA can make AND receivers can routinely catch. Not every pass has to be a "swing for the fence". Nothing wrong with 5-6 yrd passes. See what the QB's can do in practice. If they CAN'T throw a curl, slant etc...... then quit trying it in games. Get an identity as a throat punching, in your face offense that physically beats you into submission
This is 2014 and its not a video game. If you are throwing 5-6 yard patterns LBs and safeties will play tight man coverage or shallow zones. They will make contact at the line of scrimmage negating our wide recievers from creating space or seperation. Couple that with them stacking the box and all of a sudden you end up with a lot of 3rd and longs. 50/50 is the way to go and its up to Tim Beck to spread them out and keep the defense on there toes. Its up to our offense to execute.
I know what your saying but I dont think it works that way anymore unless you got 4-5 lineman that are going to the league next year...i.e. Alabama from several years ago. Multiple formations and multiple personnel groupings and mixing the run and the pass will be more effective than being somewhat predictible! I believe that what TA was forced into last year being the QB that our offense was limited. I think they should be able to open up the playbook and be more aggressive and TA will be much more comfortable with the timing elements to all recievers. Thats my $.02 as I respectfully disagree
