Not to mention, many of the pass plays are not good play choices. I can't count on both hands and feet how many times the QB has thrown the ball and there are 2 WRs in the same vicinity of each other. I get that it happens sometimes, but it seems to happen a lot with us. Something is not right with the design of the play and the route combinations.
So.. you're saying the key is finding coordinators with a double-z in their name? It... just might work!
I'm not 100% on board w/ this. This is the chess match that Beck plays, and often loses. You maybe exploit a weak defensive back, or a weak side of their DL, but you do it within your offensive gameplan. - but Beck adjusts his entire offense to the defense, rather than running a solid offense and forcing the defense to adjust to you. So we'll force a turnover prone freshman QB to throw the ball 35 times, limiting our all-american back to 20-23 carries. I honestly don't know what to think w/ Beck's offense. He just tries to get too cute with it. And I think part of the problem is what you mentioned above...he spends too much time trying to figure out how to exploit a defense, that he doesn't have enough time to ensure that our offense can execute at a competent level. Who knows...too much facepalm on this staff to analyze things very deeply. You never know where to start.If only everyone just called more of the plays that work. I can't believe nobody's ever thought of that
Every capable offense is all about exploiting the weaknesses of the defense on the field. Case in point, how do you think we've been getting gashed repeatedly using the same plays? An offense doesn't operate in a vacuum, because the defense is able to pressure certain things and take away certain things, but they can't do everything at once. When they show you a look, you have a counter. It's a chess match. Playing right into the defense's hands is a losing proposition. Why run the plays that have already been sniffed out? Those are the ones that are doomed from the start.
The funny thing when people complain about offenses is they all want a simple one, just one that also happens to run every possible kind of play in the playbook.
I don't think people get on Beck's case when a play doesn't work. I think people (myself included) get on Beck's case when the run doesn't work twice and then we never see that play again. We should know what we do well. We should know that our guy under center doesn't exactly throw the ball the best. But the guys we have up front and in the backfield, those guys can sure block and run the ball well. So that's where the majority of our plays should be focused on, the run. And I think he gets away from the run because he doesn't think there is as much room to be creative with the run game as their is the passing game. But just look at Auburn. That's the running game taken to its highest creativity level. I'd love if we could do something like that.If only everyone just called more of the plays that work.

45th scoring is pittiful regardless of excuses (injuries), especially with the easy schedule we had this year. And while this is bad enough, all the TOs makes it even worse. Beck runs a multiple offense, but he hasn't realized that it is best at having multiple ways to turn the ball over.
