Against popular opinion, It was a great call by the OC Satt. Fidone was the 1st read (deep route). #15 admitted that he took his eyes off him to soon and looked to Banks (2nd read). #15 didn't give his first read a chance (Fidone).
That is a decision making problem by the QB, not a play call problem.
And he threw a floater. Into double coverage. Nearly triple coverage.

I don’t take any personal offense don’t worry lol, nice drop of stats. I did comment post game, pretty often, I got tired of fans calling out the 2-5 record, we would’ve gotten smoked by their schedule as well.
I do question how solid their run defense is when we ran significantly more in the 2nd half and from what I recall, seemed to have the offense moving a lot more successfully than going straight passing
mode the bulk of the first half.
Others have pointed out it was the right call from satt to open the 2nd half. In a vacuum sure, guy was open, but our true freshman qb was clearly way off and I think situationally we have minimal awareness of what’s going to be successful and seem incredibly stubborn with play calling and who’s on the field. I’d love to know which coach’s wife rhamir Johnson slept with, I have no idea why he seems to be in the dog house when this isn’t the first time he seems to be the best back to keep giving the ball to yet is used sparingly

Much Appreciated. That is frustrating because the LB who ended up getting back under Banks bit really hard on the PA. If the S wasn't an issue, this ball could have been put on Fidone super quick.

I don’t understand why raiola tends to always go the floater route. Is it to make it look pretty and flex his throwing capability? I know some qb coaches coach up the floater for deeper passes as it’s harder for a corner/secondary to track defensively, but some of these are just unnecessary decisions that raise the difficulty of the completion
In last games he missed 2 throws for TDs against Ohio state that woulda been a TD with a simple basic throw, same with the end of the Illinois game.
hes got a strong arm, why isn’t he letting it rip more often?

What I've noticed since game 2 or 3 is that he is a wrist flicker. He doesn't use shoulder and hips and doesn't drive the ball with his arm and rarely has solid footing. That's why most of his throws are off his back foot and many of his passes are high lob/soft touch passes. Relies too much on wrist and elbow. That will affect timing and accuracy too. Even the short screens are soft and slow. It's possible he never had to change his way in HS.
I don't think I am wrong here, but if I am, my apologies.

Get your base squared, Plant your feet, use upper body torque and fire the ball. On those open throws he is just flicking it up in the air with mostly his wrist. Like tossing an orange. That can all be changed easily. Wrist throws are good at times when running out of the pocket to your right.

I’ve def noticed the suspect foundation setting/falling-back tendency. Someone brought up a solid point a few weeks back if that rumored ankle injury was a culprit to not driving- but then the way he was running against tosu made it seem like the ankle was a non issue.
Hopefully something that is fixable particularly for a young qb. This seems to be more of a trend football wide tho- you’re constantly reading from nfl scouts and coaches that qb fundamentals have been trending in the wrong direction. Mahomes is the exception not the rule, seems like so many qbs try and mimic his play style- u mix unorthodox qb play with college teams moving away from under center formations and you get some interesting qb play even in the pros

11:15 - This is brutal. I think Rhule threw me off saying Fidone was open down the seam, because he's running a post. He's crossing the hash well inside the FS who you can see late in the frame. We all use slightly different jargon, but I couldn't fathom how the FS wasn't a factor in Fidone running a vertical.
From the endzone view, the INT itself is not as poor as it looks from the sideline view. The LB flips his hips like a DB and makes a great play, but the decision not to put this on Fidone is beyond puzzling.

That's actually pretty crazy. The difference between 1st and 13th is 30 yards or .76 yards per play. And, we are tied for 4th in TDs allowed. That's not as big of difference as I would expect.

On the 4th and goal shown after that play, why does Bullock run to the corner into coverage and not just sit wide open in the end zone? Won't say anything about how piss poor the routes he and Nelson run look.

Holgorsen has forgotten more about offense than Satt pretends to know.

My guess is they are taught to get the spot the route says they are supposed to run vs run your route but have an option to sit in space like most 21st century offenses do.
