Gotta make room for TE's and such.
We could stand to loose a few to be honest… no need in carrying 18 WR…
Is Ducking Coming back. If so tell him to gain 25 LBS and he will be seeing alot more action.
Ducking is out of eligibility
Harmon could play a Flex TE, have to convince him to do it as way to get on the field earlier.
only need 6 for a 2 deep. We had about 10.
Interested to see what happens with Tulu, Walley, Rufus and a few others that all seem like a better fit at the slot.
I don?t see why too many of the WRs we have will have to hit the portal. This offense looks like it works to actually get these guys on the edge away from a defender ready to take your head off.
That seems like a plus.
Hearing Austin Williams will be back ***
We have wayyy too many slot guys now. There's only one slot position on the field in this offense so we need some of those guys to head elsewhere
Well, the coach has a history of using a lot of pro style concepts. He will run 11 personnel and 12 personnel more than he runs 10 personnel. Add to that the fact that WRs in this scheme aren't going to get the ball very much. App State's leading receiver had 37 catches. Tulu was our 6th leading receiver, and he had 40 catches this year.
We only have two WR that are difference makers and as long as we don't lose them, we are fine.
At CM their leading receiver has 62 for over 860 yards and 4TD Second leading had 49 for 687 and 10 TD. Third leading receiver had 45 for 701 yards and 8 TD. All better than our Top 3 this year. Considering they threw 200 less times than us, that's a lot more efficient. So what's your point?
Do you want to spread it around just to spread it around? I'm confused. I just want points and an efficient offense. This guy brings it with a solid running game and one of the most efficient passing games around.
I'm not a rtdfb guy, but I'm excited about what he was able to do in the passing game without a very talented qb. Traditionally the OL and skill guys we've been able to get are more suited to run, so if we can setup an efficient passing attack with that it seems to fit our strengths.
Another plus is he doesn't need a running qb to do it. No injured qb in week 10 or banged up Dak at end of season
Yeah Leach has always done that, some were similar but we did have wrs that were better than others that should have had more playing than the others. I always will love Coach Leach but sometimes he spread it among to many, but that was his deal and he was very successful.
I agree with you 100%, but I still really like this hire. Barbary will throw it 40 times a game if his run game isn't working or game plan calls for it. The opposite is also true.
He's more of a run to setup pass guy and my preference is the opposite, but he adapts and was probably the best we could get after briles rejected us.
I'm optimistic, but what do I know I'm just a pre middle age software engineer chasing toddlers around a house
Well you are out of luck unless you change schools. And pretty limited on what schools you can cheer for then. How about we just do what the defense gives you, which we didn't always do the last 3 years because it was pass only oriented. We didn't always run when the numbers or situation said we should have, so you didn't like what we were doing before the change either?
BTW, I'm a Leach supporter but didn't always agree with what he did and how slowly he was in making changes. You can be objective. I'm not beholding to Air Raid or pass only offenses either. I like it but I like consistency better.
Taking what the defense gives you is the definition of the Air Raid scheme. The Air Raid is designed to get the ball to guys who are quick and can run in space, and the design of the system creates that space. It's up to the QB to make the decision on which space to get the ball to.
Arnett is the only Power 5 defensive minded head coach hired this off season that is not hiring an Air Raid offensive coordinator. Ryan Walters with Purdue hired Graham Harrell. Luke Fickell with Wisconsin hired Phil Longo. Arnett has decided to go ground and pound instead, and ground and pound is not a recipe for success in modern football. You pass to set up the run in modern football.
That's false. Taking what the defense gives is a staple of all sports and long before Air Raid. You can take what defense gives you in Air Raid and run the ball. We didn't always do that with Leach either. So he went against that philosophy a good bit. You can take what the defense gives you in a run oriented attack and throw the ball. That's insane logic you are spewing.
Could careless what other coaches are doing. But by your logic Harrell is no longer air raid so he doesn't count. He ran it more than he threw this season.
Y'all just need to follow Air Raid teams if that's all you care about. It's like a cult. And I like Air Raid but I'm not obsessed that it's the only offense that can be and is successful. And Barbay designs plays to get players the ball in space as well. A lot of his attack is about that, that is not just an Air Raid concept.
Are we really bringing up Longo? The OC who refused to target Dawson Knox?
Good enough for the bills but not Ole Piss
