I agree. However, there has to be another way to get the yard on 4th and1 when the D has 6-7 jammed at the LOS. It’s not distrust to acknowledge a stacked line and find an alternate play - especially if you run it from the shotgun.
A play action pass to Rutherford or Singleton on 4th and one streaking over the middle would have been scintillating and would have had a pretty good chance of catching them with their pants down.
Agree - King and WrTe brought the team from 25 to 25 in 2 minutes. Its 2nd down and 3yds to go at 5minute mark. Lets keep rolling.
Key does not seem to be calling each play (like CPJ did) but instead allowing his OC to do so. Before the stumbles this season we were praising our OC for his creativity. What happened? Has Key told Faulkner how he wants the game to be called (“Run the Bawl”?).
Too much speculation on who calls what
In your opinion, what would be a correct amount of speculation?
Zero. ok?
Zero speculation pretty much shuts this site down. I have done some statistics and the current probability of a post being factual vs. speculation is less than 2%. In other words, restricting posts to factual content means allowing about 30 posts per month. Confidence interval here is +/- 7 posts per month.
Another thing: In my opinion Haynes hasn't been cutting the same the last couple of games. Against FSU he would run and hit open holes fast. He ran left a couple of times, planted his outside foot and started running back to the right. He hasn't done that in the last couple of games. I don't think he is 100%. If he were at full strength, he might have cut better and gained more yards. He might have been able to push through arms and shoulders and pick up the short yardage first downs.OK. I'll speculate. I think we came into the first 5 games of the season with certain run plays. That's it. We were effective against FSU because they didn't prepare for them. Cuse and Louisville both had opportunity to scheme run blitzes.
The bye week will allow us to implement more of our offense. All of the mis-direction and pre-snap motion has a purpose. We just haven't revealed it yet.
I expect our offense to be meaningfully more effective over the back half of the season.
OK done speculating...

Louisville wasn't better. We had a kick blocked for a TD and a fumbled lateral for a TD. We missed a FG we should't have attempted for a total of 17 points. We don't beat ourselves (each of those 3 things were absolutely in our power to prevent) and we win the game.
Agree. I’ll add that 31% of statistics are made up on the spot.
Key doesn't call each play- no one is aaying that.
69% of statistics are useless/misleading contrivances.
CBK is a hood coach who is still learning and will only get better. The Jackets are right in line with where many thought they’d be prior to F$U. That win skewed expectations badly. Need to get back to where we formerly expected: 5-7 wins. I think we’ll find a way to get to 6.
Exactly, Coach Key needs to learn to manage the game better, realize what's working and what the opponents defensive game plan is and adjust. Also understand clock management, especially late in the 4thQ.
