[QUOTE="Matt E, post: 190981, member: 682"] 1. It makes a huge difference running the TO when the quarterback is decisive and attacks the defense. I love JT, but watching Keenan Reynolds is night and day. Reynolds has a lot more reps in the offense and I'm sure that makes a difference. Hopefully JT will be hit during spring. I wonder if no contact during spring and summer made him a little timid and caused a potential step back in aggressiveness this season? 2. Love seeing teams throw short quick passes and screens. Clemson gashed FSU today and it didn't take tremendous pass blocking when the ball was out fast. Teams rarely go nickel on us unless it's 3rd and long, so it still baffles me why we don't spread the field every so often and throw WR screens/quick routes. It's not "what we do" but the occasional shift into a different formation would really keep the defenses honest. 3. Speaking of pass blocking, it was refreshing to see offensive lines in a 2 point stance ready to pass set and block on 3 and 6+. A lot of people have called for Sewak's head, which I don't disagree with, but this issue in particular is a PJ or triple option principle problem. Has anyone every asked PJ this question during a call in show? I'd assume he would say he wants the line in 3 point stances to make it look like run? I've seen multiple teams run draws and other run plays with their OL in this position today. 3. Teams need an emotional leader on the field. I loved watching Boulware for Clemson today.
