Is al Davis and hank Besiot (dsu) callings the plays

[Swather]

I thought I was watching a green oc all year. We go for the home run way to many times., like Al Davis (raiders) we always go our intermediate routes way to late. I know some times we are singled up on that side but we don't have to go their every play.No use of the tightends in the first 3 quarters.how about a hitch or a swirl or a wheel route.then we call a draw late in the game with limited timeouts? The griz need to find a identity for next year. Like basketball you live by the 3 you die by the 3.welived by the play action and died by the play action . That's my rant for the day.
Go griz

Nice 1st post, many on here will agree with you. I am one of them. This has been discussed a lot this season. You will see a lot of that in the GRIZ/CC game thread too. Be careful though, if you have not played the game some may think you don't know what you are talking about. :thumb:

Great post! I think this team is most effective whet it utilizes the intermediate passing game instead of going for the home run all the time. That draw really pissed me off...

They motioned Travon into a wheel about four times yesterday, and he couldn't get open once. He was blanketed. That play worked about 11 times before Van got hurt. Since, the only positive time they used it was one the double-flea flicker, and he still wasn't open but drew a PI call on MSU's Rob Marshall. Van just didn't have all his gears after the ankle injury.

Also, one other note about the passing game. Once the ball is snapped, I'm pretty sure the OC's and Mick can't control who JJ throws or tries to throw it too. On the deep stuff, there are guys underneath too, but it seems like JJ really had fallen in love with trying to drop bombs to Hendo. The pre-snap call, sure, blame the coaches, but once things are set in motion, it's all on JJ to where and who he's slinging it to.

I did not see the wheel route since tv only shows the ball. But back to jj throwingg deep, it has happened so much the coaches have to have input on where the ball is going, because it has happened all year. It is probably a combo of both but the coaches are the boss and its their job to get it right.

So did Al Groh, the color guy on the broadcast. Al might know a thing or two about football...
