GAME DAY THREAD - NAU

[hm.grwn.grizfan]

Serious question, would the Griz be better off getting rid of both pease, rosy and germer now and promoting phenecie to OC? Just rosy and pease? What can be done to improve the offense THIS season? Anything? This is truly terrible. Anyone looking at this team objectively knows it is NOT a top 25 offense, and whether or not they even belong in the top 25 is debatable.

No

So just stay the course, that’s what I assume is going to happen, but just curious if anyone thinks we could improve by changing the OC at this point in the season. Hauck really screwed up putting his friends ahead of the program. That was one hell of a mistake.

 

[Copper Griz]

I think our O-Line is still the glaring issue with the offense. It starts with them. Run blocking, pass protection, picking up blitzes. And if we need TWO tight ends to seal the edges but they can’t even block a kindergartener, Sam has no chance. McDowell at least has the running advantage. I think it’s purely coaching. And coaching leads to execution. Our guys are plenty big enough and experienced enough. Just aren’t being coached at a high level.

Watched part of a practice this week. The offense looked awful. Simply awful. Someone asked about getting rid of coaches. Only one to blame. Has his guys. His coaches. Same results. I honestly thought they were calling conservatively. Not the case and not the problem

Thing is, the OL is so bad that I don't know if we are getting a real read on how Pease is doing. Every thing he tries gets blown up.

Who’s in charge of the oline? Who recruits the oline? Why can’t we get good oline? We were told this oline would be great.

We all know the answer. Germer has single handedly brought the Griz offense to it's knees.

 

[Ut-Grizfan]

You definitely have a hell of alot more optimism and Confidence in our offense then I do, the play calling has been God awful. We are literally repeating last season but instead of struggling against just good schools we're now struggling against lower/middle of the pack schools as well. We have gotten worse

Oh it’s play calling and coaching 100%. It’s too vanilla. Go down the field, not this side to side crap. It’s annoying that pease just cannot seem to get the ball to the play makers.

This after all during the Spring Game and off-season we heard Pease wants the ball in the playmaker hands yadda yadda yadda. I call Bull-Sh-it

Going to score before half take it to the bank

It's Saturday. Banks are closed.

Apparently, Thirdandlong has been right all along. :shock: Sticks in your craw, right? Take a bow, Steve. Bobby lost my support today. :roll:

 

[EverettGriz]

The OLine was supposed to be a strength. Surprising.

 

[BadlandsGrizFan]

I’m starting to think the entire offense this season was supposed to run through Grossman. You know the classic new school “run everything through the TE” offense.

Once he went down Pease put down the playbook and went fishing. Heard the last he was seen was with a native woman up in Lolo. Down big on gambling debts.

If only we had one more explosive player he could try and get the ball to.

You must not know football. You cannot simply hand the ball to Junior Bergen. It’s illegal

We have more than one, throw it around, white, Fontes, Bergen, Racanelli, hence I said makers. Plural.

Pretty difficult to throw it around when you can't keep the QB clean.

 

[BigGameBobby]

This staff will get it together, just need some time. Ferris state and NAU two really good teams back to back.

Anybody got a pitch count on number of offensive plays Bergens touched the ball? We need a pitch count in WaGriz just for Bergen. 0 is technically a number. I’m no mathematician but I’ve been told.

QB has to have time to throw it. Ain’t happening.

It’s a catch 22 situation all the way around

 

[Copper Griz]

Still. 2 plays to pick up 1 yd to keep a drive alive and cannot get it. Terrible okay calling as well.

 

[BadlandsGrizFan]

Bob Stitt would have got Bergen the ball on 4 end arounds by now.

Is your mom warming up the pizza rolls and pouring the orange soda?

 

[uofmman1122]

Just got home and can start watching.

Sounds like we can't polish this turd. Hope we get our shit together.

 

[AZGrizFan]

The offense is the worst I have seen since I have been a Griz fan.

Tell me you weren’t alive during the Larry Donovan era without telling me….
