Title: A few notes Post by: PirateVOL on October 06, 2024, 03:46:09 EDT Nico was a bit unsettled last night
Probably due to the OL play The OTs had a bad night and Sprags had a huge bust for a sack Coop is hurt, h was really struggling the last two series On the last drive Nico was just a half count late on two throws into zone coverage One to the TE and one to Nimrod Being just a hair late led the receiver into the next zone defender, usually the safety, on time both are 1st downs Speaking of TEs, did Davis play? Figured he would be in on the last drive but it was 87 and 19 at various points in the drive Their LBs are good in zone, ours suck The first quarter crosses in the middle were all on the LBs Our LBs, across the board were horrible last night, one in particular We NEVER stacked receivers We ran one (1) switch route, which was our ONLY shot down field, where Nico overthrew an open Squirrell The last drive we had Thornton, Nimrod and Brazzel as the receivers Brazen (with Bru out) should be a good guy to go for in the red zone but his ability to get open is suspect I was watching the receivers on the last play, nobody was open and really weren?t making am intense effort to get open, nobody urgency Brazzel?s night was not good, at all If Bru is going to miss time I think we would be better with Brazzell on the left (if he knows the route tree on that side( and Thornton on the right I don?t remember us running a slant with a WR, just the TE and slot The DL is overrated The secondary isn?t that bad, though I thought one of the B/U didn?t play well last night, we spent a lot of time with 2 out of the lineup IMO play calling was extremely poor we checked into a run with 8 in the box once, why? See above for more examples Bottom line, coming off a bye week we seemed unprepared and not ready to play That is unacceptable in my view As usual, YMMV Title: Re: A few notes Post by: wtkvol on October 06, 2024, 04:05:51 EDT Nico was a bit unsettled last night Probably due to the OL play The OTs had a bad night and Sprags had a huge bust for a sack Coop is hurt, h was really struggling the last two series On the last drive Nico was just a half count late on two throws into zone coverage One to the TE and one to Nimrod Being just a hair late led the receiver into the next zone defender, usually the safety, on time both are 1st downs Speaking of TEs, did Davis play?

We did throw too the side line a million times and got nothing out of it. We need to let Nico play. He is our best hope to compete .

If Squirrel is going to miss some time Nimrod is a more than capable replacement While not having Squirrel?s speed he has good speed and has the size to go across the middle Thinking more about it, our offense last night was more like the offense in Heup?s 1st year, lot of outside WR screens As Hendon matured into the QB role it started transitioning to what we eventually saw in ?22 One other thing, while it will be brutal, the film review for Nico should help him mature into the QB he can be Title: Re: A few notes Post by: wtkvol on October 06, 2024, 05:41:59 EDT Nico was a bit unsettled last night Probably due to the OL play The OTs had a bad night and Sprags had a huge bust for a sack Coop is hurt, h was really struggling the last two series On the last drive Nico was just a half count late on two throws into zone coverage One to the TE and one to Nimrod Being just a hair late led the receiver into the next zone defender, usually the safety, on time both are 1st downs Speaking of TEs, did Davis play?

Micro managing a talent like Nico is a mistake.. They let him play until the Oaklahoma , Then we got something elese.

See above for more examples Bottom line, coming off a bye week we seemed unprepared and not ready to play That is unacceptable in my view As usual, YMMV Nico's timing was late all night, holding on to the ball too long. To be fair, the OL was banged up and they were getting to him, but he needs to factor that in and adjust. And I am on record saying we did not call enough screens/quick throws, every play too too long to develop. It's true they burned us repeatedly on crossing type middle of the field 10-15 yard routes in the first half, but we adjusted nicely at halftime. Did not see too many of those second half. Heupel does make good halftime adjustments typically...run game was a lot better second half also. DL overrated? I would not go that far. They definitely were not the problem last night. Though it was not perfect, we largely shut down their running game, and we repeatedly got pressure on the QB. If not for his scrambling and then ability to throw on the run, we could have held them under 10 IMO. |
