I equate the inconsistency to youth and believe that time will cure that. Contrary to others, I think the playcalling has been fine, not always what I would have called, but then I'm not getting paid to call the plays. I've seen enough to believe when we're more consistent this offense will be successful between the 20's and in the red zone. Time will prove me right or wrong, but I think we'll have time to see which comes to fruition.
Edit: and I agree, I haven't necessarily seen a well-executed series since KSU.
There is a difference between well executed and well called. Heres what i do not see from coach P. I don't see things building upon themselves. If you want a good example of this watch any Ole Miss game kiffen seems to scheme runs open with pass concepts, passes open with run concepts and receivers wide *** open his team doesn't always execute but the scheming is there and the play calling is there. When Coach P is calling plays it seems like he has a script for the first drive a script for the first drvie fo the second half. and everything else is a ask madden crapshoot.
He's nto calling based on past success (the johnson method oh rocket toss worked to the left? lets see if it works to the right... oh it worked... call it left etc they stopped it? counter etc)
He's not calling based on future setup. Run up the middle, run left, Quick slant concept, TE Pass concept. Run up the middle PLAy action one 2nd and short of the same run action for a shot play. (the chan gaily pro style method)
He's doesn't seem to be calling in reaction to defensive tendencies either which you might think he'd be doing given the way we seem to be attempting to keep driving plays, but we will predictably run up the middle on an inside zone for no gain on short yardage situations even when the linebackers are cheating up we seem to have no true play action off of that ( which is ironic as this is pretty much what an RPO slant is supposed to eb fore but we aren't running that because our WR's are blocking on these plays).
All I can think is he's literally calling by analytics. And it doesn't work. The worse thing honestly is our plays seem to be "different for different's sake" game to game. Last game we came out in a pistol offset I for the first time all year I think. How much time did we practice that formation? SIms looked like he was as worried about getting to the right handoff spot as he was reading the defense. No one has time for things to become second nature constantly changign things up. We have no base formation that we can fall back on and say okay guys this is what we do. EVERY successful team has this. We don't.
