RB/WR
« on: July 07, 2015, 07:10:46 AM »
so, with our current RB/WR situation how many times are we going to run the little fake QB run pass to gronk play? like over a million times per game? will it continue to work after "going to the well" that often? I mean, all indications are that it has zero diminishing returns given how often we continue to whip ass with it but I'm concerned that may not hold for infinity times running it.

Hopefully it's the only play in the playbook when OU comes to town.

I thought that play worked less and less as the year went on.

We will run the Gronk play only once during non-con cause "lol @ opening up the playbook  :billdance:"

We'll run it a million times during Big 12 play and it will only work against the dumbasses (ku, Rhoads, Tech?). Other teams will  :lol: at us

I'd say that QB fits into the "may not be very good" pool of skill position concerns.

Our Offense is basically Gronk and the Donks (Donks is a bad thing word I made up because of its rhymenessness with Gronk)

"Gronk and Dongs" is also one that I am trying out when referring to our offense.

hey SD, is this a personal belief or have you been hearing grumblings from within the program that our offense is going to be garbage?

I think 2001 is the worst offensive team we have had under Snyder during the DOD + Part 2. In 2011, we really had no idea what we had with CK and the rest of the offense and we put up a pretty good amount of points.

Three things:

1. While I whole heartedly admit we are short on talent at receiver, all it really takes is one or two people to step up there and we can manage. Klein, Cook and DB should all be solid enough to catch things that are thrown at them. Also they are all big enough to handle blocking (which I assume we will be running the ball much more this year). If either Andre Davis can live up to his 4 stars (probably won't) or we can get a contribution from Goolsby or Heath on the outside that would help a great deal. (probably won't from Heath, Goolsby probably redshirt).

2. Special teams will be extra important. Having Walsh and McCrane (stud) will help a ton with field position. We should be among the best in the conference on ST again this season.

3. In regards to the running back position, I'm a firm believer that the RB is a product of the OL. The OL should be one of the better units in the conference (4 returning starters). But I've been disappointed with how under Dickey the last few seasons the OL has seemingly gotten worse. We can't run the ball against a good run D and we can only run marginally against a bad run D. I'll allow that the change in offensive philosophy to a more pass oriented offense has something to do with that but this year we will have to be a much better running team.

I don't mind the talent at the RB position, it's not great, but I think with improved OL play the lack of a stud RB will be minimized.

and then #16 ranked Texas Tech starts their usual late season slide to finish 5-7 correct?

Well, only 2 of them play offense, so that's a pretty small what-if.
