[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 194422, member: 195"] FWIW, you might try googling those statistics, but it would probably get you back to this forum because I created the metric and calculate them. If you spent time on this forum for reasons other than complaining about our coach after a loss, then you would probably have seen several threads where I discuss them and give reasons for considering them a valid metric for measuring offensive performance. Second, you introduce smoke-routes as if it had been part of the prior conversation. It hadn't been. The thread was about slants, and especially the quick slant to account for CB's giving cushion. I addressed that issue. I said we have slants, but we don't feature the quick slants that you probably have in mind. The reason why a short QB is an issue is that you have to think of both vision and ball trajectory of the short pass, as well as the timing. It is more difficult for a short qb to see over and throw a short pass over taller OL, especially when they struggle controlling defenders in pass protection. Also short quick passes require a very accurate passer. We are typically not going to be getting those guys to Tech, regardless of our offense. As far as the smoke-route, you are correct, that does respond to a big cushion from the CB's, and we've used it. We've used it every year. So you are creating a straw man when you suggest that there are people who don't think we should be doing that. Finally, I cited the statistics to show that our offensive scheme and coaching and recruiting has been working by and large. So, why don't you give your reasons for thinking that the problem this year is all of a sudden scheme etc. [/QUOTE]
