She said to tell you “No, but you still have laundry to put away.” I told her she shouldn’t be a hypocrite, since she’s always leaving hers on my floor.
Pickett reached out to Peyton Manning after last season to ask about coming out in 2020 or staying. Peyton said rumors were Pickett was a 5th round pick. Asked Pickett if that was the type of player he was. Pickett said no, came back, showed up and showed put.
Again, reenforces a guy who uses what he has. Not what he wants. I would say that the "better" skill position guys would be the WR's and TE's. This plays into Whipple's schemes. Throw in Joseph coaching them up and I think we can have a potent offense depending on QB and OL play. I do think that he is smart enough to embrace the running game as well. Dude doesn't spend that much time coaching and not learn to adapt/evolve. I like that he has a scheme and is well versed in it. Again, I'd prefer a "run first" guy, but I want to win again. In the current situation with a potential 1 season HC we could do worse. Don't think we could have done much better.
They sure fit the bill. I’m guessing Whipple is just as excited. This is great opportunity for him to be a part of a legendary program in its resurrection and revival. He has chance to become a household name nationally. He will get lots of attn this fall no doubt.
Yeah, there's too many teams that love to chew up clock, punt the ball, kick field goals, play action pass for 15 yards (over the top!).
It's much more reliant on improved line play and ST that's going to make the biggest difference in W/L. That is, if we don't have a drastic drop in D or O.
50 is a reach. With an upgrade in receivers coaching with better quarterback play and an offensive line with their act together 35-40 and occasionally more is realistic. We need to generate a reliable running game for conversions too. That's a lot of if's but if we can do that'll we'll be winning a lot more games.
As far as I can see, based on who the new coaches are, the main benefits here that will address specific weaknesses are: attention to detail on offense, better recruiting at skill positions, and hopefully better line technique. It could also help with a true identity on offense and an ability to counter opponent adjustments.
I am truly hoping that he brings a voice of experience and reason to the offensive strategy as a whole. One thing I read was that he gets his scheme to work in conjunction with the parts. The dude has been coaching longer than Frost has been alive. I hope that this will translate into evaluating where we are, where we want to be and how to get there. Scheming to actually help the O. For example, according to PFF, AM was hurried 45% of his drop backs, we had 1 or 2 OL that had actually scored a 0% in pass pro in some games. Those are both pitiful stats. But rarely did we roll AM consistently. Rarely did we purposefully "move the pocket". We did well with long plays, but at what cost to AM. We called a lot of "longer and slow" developing plays. Maybe Whipple calls shorter routes, quicker plays, rolls the QB out some. Can call some plays and scheme to make the D (front 7) pay for pinning their ears back. I saw he likes to use and HB as an extra blocker (that'll help) as well as use draws. Again scheming to help. Something again, I feel for years we really had no answer for. A good OC can scheme to help poor OL play. Not fix it, but at least prop it up some. Problem, this is a 1 season fix. This isn't a HC and staff getting 3-4 years to rebuild. Frost and Co need to perform or pack. Little to no time to fix a laundry list of issues.
