however, there are some things that are definitely on lebby. mainly, the fact that neither of the QBs seem to do the reading part of the read option. on the KT possession if we give on either 3rd or 4th down we move the chains. several times late if shapen gives we have huge plays. the end is crashing to the QB and we keep it and get nothing. that's on Lebby. I would like to see us hire a veteran coach to help with in game situation stuff in the future. Like a bench coach in baseball.
I went back and watched his possession, he should've given it AT LEAST twice on his 3 plays. We easily move the chains on either. That is, again, why he is just not ready. He can't make the read that fast so his default is just keep it. Now add in to that the RPO element of also having to throw it quickly......he can't do that. He's just not ready. He can do what we're currently asking him to do.
