First, I don't necessarily agree that Sneed doesn't throw a decent long ball. Second, I don't think the long ball has anything to do with the lack of scoring at times. It's not picking up enough thirds down, and, in some games, turnovers.

I dont think Sneed has near enough time to throw the long ball. I think this O lines deficiencies take away a ton of what Bobby likes his teams to do, which is pound the rock, and also the types of plays we can run as far as WR routes. Everything needs to be quick right now.

I have faith that in the next few years our O liens will get back to being dominant, but its just not going to happen this year.

I have a hard time blaming coaches for much because I've seen such a drastic turnaround in effort, consistency, urgency, and for the most part fundamentals from this years team. If any, I think were not able to close out 2nd halves like this staff wants, because we dont have the guys these coaches want. Remember teams of Griz past, in 2nd halves man we would just lean on you and push you around at the line and just grind out 7-10 yard runs. We dont have that personnel currently.

turnaround in effort and consistency? you mean, like consistently lacking effort for entire halves?

No I actually mean the opposite, as in the opposite team demeanor of the lackadaisical Stitt teams.

you mean the teams with three scoreless halves, one against washington, in three years, compared to the team with four scoreless halves in eight games? that's the kind of consistency you are after?

the griz have already had four scoreless halves this season. as far as i can tell, they only had three in the last three years, including second halves against washington and ndsu, the latter in the playoffs. i'm a little hard pressed to blame that on the players, as you would think any coach worth his salt could be creative enough to score once or twice a half with his personnel, even if that means using a gimmicky play or two.

are multiple scoreless halves, especially when it isn't a blow-out win, the sign of bad coaching?

It's a sign of not crossing the goal line the entire half.

Yeah, but they aren't "lackadaisical" when getting outscored 46-0 in the second half at WashGriz in the 8th game of the season. Let's focus on what really matters here.
