Do what? Yes there should be option routes based on what the d is in. This isn't jr high

More than ten, but yes. And the focus was to get those plays down to a science. We agree.

This is an article that was written by Ian Boyd, who is very good. It's an interview he did with Dave Aranda at Baylor. I would like to see someone do this with Zach Arnett. I'd like to know if Zach went into the coordinator search to hire a coach that is going to run the wide zone scheme and what his reasons for that decision were. Dave Aranda gives very detailed reasoning on why he specifically targeted Jeff Grimes to be his offensive coordinator. He basically said that in his first year, he tried to run what they ran at LSU in 2019, but he realized that he couldn't run that scheme at Baylor. So, he looked at the wide zone as a way to combat the style of defenses that are in the Big 12. Most of the teams in the Big 12 run a version of the 3-3-5 flyover scheme made popular by Iowa State. He felt the wide zone was a way that he could attack that scheme and run the ball when there was a talent gap between his team and the opponents.

Dave Aranda is a coach that I consider to be highly intelligent. He's not your typical defensive minded meathead of a coach who just wants to run the ball and play field position. I mean, he basically said that the two hardest things to do in college football are to run the inside zone and have a legit drop back passing game.

He’s also about to have his 3rd losing season in 4 years, just lost to Texas State, and probably about to get fired in 2 months more than likely.

Should have modified the air raid. Add some running plays to try to break the drop 8zone but keep all QB/WR stuff as similar as possible. OR- keep everything the same but Portal in a mobile QB. Spencer Sanders is rotting on the bench at OM- his numbers dipped in '22 because their OL got worse but in the 3 years as a starter before that he was a 62.5% passer and rushed for over 500 yards a season. He'd be hell in the air raid if he could pick up the "throw to space" thing.

Weve been seeing man free for about 2 years now because our WRs cant separate. Just because you are straight line fast doesnt mean you can get open. We have not had a consistent X/Z since Polk. Our best WRs are returners right now. Its been a problem for a pretty good while

Im confused?

Just in case anyone was wondering about the locker room, Justin Robinson’s dad just posted on Genespage that if Will Rogers starts Saturday that Arnett is going to lose the locker room.

Got a link to that or what the title of the thread is?

You got receipts? That is a hard push to just put out there.

I'm not surprised. They are probably tired of that same disappointing helmet snap and trot off the field after another 3 and out.

Well of course it was. They are going to tote water. That’s their only way to get the kind of access they get. Robinson’s dad is at every single scrimmage and gave scrimmage reports when those mods couldn’t even go watch. He knows more about that team than anyone on that board.

Per practice reports this week, Rogers is taking the first string snaps. He's taking the majority of those snaps. Rogers is going to start.

I don’t think anyone suggested otherwise. I do believe he better play well or get yanked very quickly if he doesn’t play well or he will lose the locker room. If he doesn’t play well or get yanked for not playing well, I certainly hope the locker room stays together but it doesn’t sound promising.

I’ll take your word for it. I cannot find the article. That’s very interesting, you know Rogers has to be aware of this coup d’?tat. I wonder how that is helping his non gunslinger mentality.

It’s not an article. It’s a thread on the message board over there. I am a big Will Rogers critic as a player (not a person), but I certainly don’t want the locker room to fall apart even if we go 4-8. That’s just not good ever.

O we agree! If the locker room falls 4-8 is that things on our worry list.
