**Week 2: at #3 UNI Game Thread 3:00 PM**

I don't care what some people think, but the limitations of Gus kill the offense.

Hate to say it, but I agree with you. While he may technically be able to understand and operate more of the offensive playbook, his physical limitations outweigh that advantage in my opinion. And that's not a knock on the kid, it's just the truth. His inability to run makes the read-option at the beginning of every play a foregone conclusion as to who's going to get the ball...zero running threat from the QB puts the entire offense in a vice.

Give Ryan a few off tackle runs against a defense that is used to tackling 180 pound RB....might just grind out some first downs and open up play action

 

[Walrus]

yeah, seems like the #1 priority of the offense is to avoid a turnover.

not sure how helpful that is when you punt each time and give UNI excellent field position, but alright...

 

[Fahque]

Why must we always go deep on 3rd and short?

 

[behappp]

Anyone missing TG yet?

I love the D that Semore has put together from a lot of young guys.

:x :x

3rd and 3, throw a 25 yard pass down field.
3rd and 12, throw a pass behind the LOS and expect the RB to pick up all 14 yards after catch.

It's a brilliant, counter-intuitive play calling philosophy, the genius is in it's unexpectedness.

 

[Silvertip]

Brady has a big arm....I wish there was more to like.

 

[GrizzManFan]

Man one first down would be nice.

 

[Harm]

They need an old school bobby ball clock killing drive...then again a 1st down would be great too...

A tape of this game should be linked to the Websters definition of "Playing Not to Lose".

 

[Montana37]

Yes we are winning but our offense is scary bad.

 

[Ursus1]

Stitt seems willing to just be happy to let the defense try to keep dodging bullets.

I don't think it is that simple.

I don't buy this thinking at all.

 

[AZGrizFan]

Inside 10 minutes, still up by 13. Come on, boys!!!

 

[grizeyes]

Yep. It's difficult watching this offense. No, painful is better.

However, watching the defense is a pleasure. Mistakes here and there and to think they are only going to get better. Hope we can cling to this lead and pull this out.

GO GRIZ.

+1

 

[Copper Griz]

I was sitting at the bar and the guy next to me just puked. Looked like he had milk and some toast for lunch. I realized it looked very similar the Grizzly offense and play calling.

 

[Gaeilge1]

Thank God Bailey looks as bad as Gustafson. Wonder when Brady will play a complete game?

 

[AZGrizFan]

First catch against Sanders all day.
