It's not that we don't have speed at all it's that watson and the other offensive assistants don't put the playmakers in position to make a play. Antonio Bell, Mendoza, Gillyelan, Helu, Reed, Paul all have very good speed. Going forward Bell, Gilleylan, Reed, Green, Kenny Bell, Reed all have the potential to be gamebreakers but again I doubt that any of them get the chance to do something in a creative way. Oregon uses a ton of different option plays, jet sweeps, screens etc. in order to get the ball in their playmakers hands. What do we do? The most creative ways we have done so far is the wildcat, one form of a jet sweep that bc of the lack of execution has gone for at most 7 yards, and we tried to run an option where Paul was the outlet where it was run so poorly it almost resulted in a TO.
This is one reason, among many, that I want Watson gone. He shows no ability to create unique ways to get his playmakers the ball in space. He consistently opens up the playbook against lesser teams which makes his ypg, ppg and overall image look much better than it actually should be. Going back to last year we saw reverses, and stretching the field in non conference games. This year we saw both helu and burkhead in the backfield with T Mart, in the CU game where we have proven that we can move the ball at will he decides to break out two half back passes with Rex. Although he ran two passes out of the wildcat he also threw no less than 15 slant patterns which anyone in the stadium or at home could call was coming in a passing situation.
