[QUOTE="KCJackets, post: 630529, member: 1110"] We don't exactly have a lot to work with so the struggles are not surprising. Poor playcalling, poor execution, and lack of talent have all been on display so far. Our coaches are overthinking it with the playcalling and QB rotation. The coaches are seemingly caught between trying to do what gives the team the best chance to win and trying to run what they want the offense to eventually evolve into. I would try to do what gives me the best shot at winning now this season. At this point, it looks like know what we have in TO and LJ. JG is still an unknown but has shown flashes. TO is great with the ball in his hands, decisive, tough and has the most experience. LJ is our 'passing QB' but does not see the field well, is slow in his progressions, and lacks the quickness and shiftiness we need to make plays with our depleted offensive line. I don't see the upside in bringing in LJ in passing situations. This all points to one thing - roll with TO and run the ball with him and Mason. They are our best 2 skill players, lean on them. This approach certainly has a ceiling as we have also seen. Defenses will load the box and try to get us behind schedule and force us to pass. In passing situations, because the protection is likely to break down, I still prefer TO because he is much more elusive. If we are having to scramble for first downs, give me TO over LJ. And when the defense sells out to stop the run and leave Camp and Carter on an island, give them a chance to make a play. With the defenders face guarding our guys like they did last week, we should have utilized the back shoulder/under thrown deep ball much more often. This is where we had an obvious talent and size mismatch and does not require the OL to hold their blocks for long to get this pass off. I think TO is plenty capable of this pass. LJ was criticized by some for underthrowing the TD pass to Camp but that is exactly where the ball should have been thrown (even though it wasn't a pretty spiral). Also, I'd like to see us try to incorporate Brown into the gameplan like Purdue utilizes Rondale Moore. If he is as fast and elusive as the coaches say, throw him some bubble screens, run jet sweeps, get him matched up on a LB or safety like the TD catch vs Clemson. If we stick with TO or if JG gets healthy and we ride with one exclusively, I think we can find a way to win a couple more games. I don't see us winning another game with LJ playing significant snaps unless a lightbulb comes on and he magically starts seeing the field better. I'm hoping Coach P eventually settles on TO or JG and finds a rhythm with his playcalling. I think our defense will keep us in a few games (Coastal is weak) and hopefully our offense can do just enough to help us get a few more Ws. [/QUOTE]
