Well, are we?
-
I hope not.
-
Why not?
-
1-dimensional offense?
-
Why not?
I like winning.
-
I say no. . .but we won't have to worry as much when we are down late in the game. When we had CK at the helm and we were down late in the fourth. . .we kinda knew it was over.
-
Waters will run some and the Wildat with Sams. :love: We'll try and mix it up i'm sure.
-
Hope not. I don't think Bill could keep that up.
-

I hope we never run a designed run for Waters. Let the runners run and the passers pass.

Unfortunately with ol' three and out at the helm, being down late in the fourth will probably be very common, unlike it was for ck

a season full of Waters fainting goats and losses would be frustrating as all fucks.
-
I hope DRob (<--cool nickname for Demarcus Robinson) has a breakout year, gets 1,000+ yards rushing. He seems much more explosive than Hubert, just hope he can put it all together this year. If he does, look out guys! :driving:

Seems like we waste so many plays and drives with the waters draw.
What would happen if we throw it 40-50 times a game?
This will never happen btw.

Jack Waters is a poor man's Chad May

Don't hold your breath.
I am still wondering if he even exists.

Maybe.
If we're going with waters then let's go!
Fit the offense around the players you have and stuff!
-
The offense will be incredibly predictable when Sams is in the wildcat. I just hope the coaching staff is smart enough to throw a pass play in there every once in a while. Kind of like they did @Texas last year. Oh wait....

Sams in = QB run
Waters in = Throw the same route 3 times in a row because it worked twice earlier in the game.

Back to the color coded offense.
-
We have much more of an identity of ourselves this year. I think the players and coaching staff found out a lot about themselves last year. Growing pains? Yes. Improvement through the year? Yes. I'm very excited to watch the offense this year. I'm nervous about the RB situation, but we'll have plenty of playmakers.
-
I feel our lack of rb talent/experience is going to hurt us.
I wish when SAMs was in the play calling was exactly like the first drive of the OSU game.

The coaching staff coached like a bunch of rough ridin' idiots the first 3-4 games last season. You can't argue otherwise.

The play calling was bizarre.
Would a "watered" down air raid offense work or would it leave our defense out to dry?

This.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJbWRT7uKPY , is probably my favorite LHC Bill Snyder moment.
I view it as the day Bill got his swagger back.....started out 7-0, lost 2 straight, then pulled this out. I imagine that while Bill was staring at the crowd he was thinking "This is it. This is why I came back, for moments like this"

Guys CK is gone...
3rd and 4 we are going to have to Pass.

We will dink and dunk the crap out of everyone.

Our RB's have been 5'7 - 190 for so long that we now think 6'0-203 is a "big back". :lol:
And, since 1989, LHCBS has been doing everything in his power (while admitting as much) to maintain balance in the rushing/passing attacks. Expecting anything else would be foolish at this point, IYAM. I think we'll end up slightly heavier to the pass, but balance is the goal.
-
To repeat what somebody said earlier on, I pray that they put the QB run game on the shelf for the most part. Run some options to the outside, but other than that let the running backs take it themselves. No need to put Jake in harm's way, especially when he's so ineffective running between the tackles. Hopefully offseason film review has been illuminating for our coaching staff.

That would be considered a big back in Snyder's system. Daniel Thomas and parts of Thomas Clayton were fun to watch.

This will never happen btw.
I would expect an increase in turnovers, worse average starting field position, worse TOP, and less wins. We would probably score more points, though.

I expect us to be better in most advanced metrics for offense (and our numbers last year were really good).

I guess my lasting memory was vs Oregon on CK. I loved that Texas A&M game. By far the best game I've ever watched live. Though I think all the suspense might have taken a few years off of my life.

He gave me a hi five after that game. :gocho:

Bill is just watching the players as they go around the field, waiting for them to go into the locker room. He's not admiring the scene like we'd all like to believe.

Holy crap, the consummate big K-State back has been forgotten?

O/U on Waters INT's is set at 12.5
I'm guessing 25 TDs to 10 INTs, probably better. Waters will probably run less, but average more yards per carry. 65% completions, 3500+ yards, 9ish yards per attempt. I'm not sure why anyone would expect a regression. Snyder's quarterbacks almost always make improvements from their JR to SR seasons and usually very dramatic improvements.
Winning more games and being a legit contender for the Big 12 next year will come down to the play of the defense and special teams. Our offense finished in the Top 15 last year and I expect it to remain at least in the top 20. However, our special teams were less than spectacular (#33) and our defense was mediocre (#43). If those don't improve, then the offense won't matter much.

Last year he threw an INT every 29 attempts. I can see him improving on that average but he'll have 150-200 more attempts this year. I think he'll end up right around a dozen.

I'd like to see a healthy reliance on the play action. Assuming we have a RB/OL that keeps the defense honest.

I know Waters isn't Sams, but he can run too. He was very successful with it in JUCO. Maybe he's gotten a lil bit better everyday? :dunno:

Waters shies away from contact too much to be effective at designed run plays at the D1 level. I don't mind him scrambling, but having him run designed draws didn't work last year and probably never will.

What are the odds a healthy SAMs has more snaps at qb than a healthy waters during a game this season?
I say pretty damn good!

IIRC, I think he had some decent QB draws later in the season. I think you're right that option type plays aren't his forte, but designed runs at the right time will work. He also realized that he's not the best at taking contact and would go ahead and dive forward when he was about to get hit which limited his fumbles. I'm ok with that as he usually had a first down by that point. He's obviously no big play threat with his legs, but good enough to add that element of surprise to a defense.

Water's running/scrambling abilities improved throughout the season. He started to learn to buy some time in the pocket and still make accurate passes on the run. In the Michigan game, he scrambled for a couple first downs when he couldn't get a pass off. I also recall during the OU game that he scrambled a few times out of the pocket and had a long TD pass to Lockett. If you give him time, he can beat you with his arm or his legs. Now that he has had more time to get comfortable with his receivers and the game has slowed down for him, I think he could have an amazing season. I've never felt this confident about a K-State QB in a long time (even Klein). I have never been concerned about Water's accuracy and arm strength. He also started to identify the defensive mismatches more and audible to take advantage of that (something Klein did very well).
Guys I'm really excited about the upcoming season. If our defense lives up to expectations and our O-Line doesn't suck balls I'm team #10wins.

How are the tackles doing though? :ohno:

Waters is terrible on speed option, there is no doubt there (though he did improve as the season went along).
However, he's pretty good on zone read option and delay QB lead/draw plays. He is good at moving in the pocket to buy time to throw as well. He's not a detriment as a runner and the QB run game can still be a nice part of our offense, it just won't be the percentage it was for Klein or Sams.
The comparison with Matt Miller is almost spot on. Waters is actually a slightly better runner than Miller, Miller had a higher completion percentage, but Waters has a higher YPA. Their TD:INT is identical.

Interesting. My recollection of Miller was that he was a better runner with a weaker arm compared to Jake. But...stats and stuff. I tend to trust fan on this one.

I just watched all the meaningful offensive possessions from the BWW Bowl and Waters was nearly perfect. He even ran the speed options decently. He tends to slow play them a bit but we still gained yards on each one and I'd bet averaged 4 or 5 yards an attempt.

Tough for me to say. They couldn't get much rush without blitzing. Our WR's were too much to handle. And the HB/QB run game was a very nice change of pace, keep them honest kind of situaish.

All the talk regarding the passing game has been about Waters and the Wide Receivers but what about that pop pass or jump pass over the line. it has long been in Snyder's play book, before Tebow & CK, and nobody has learned how to stop it; Little Gronk and Trujillo feasted on that play last year. What has happened to the play where Jordy rolled to his right with a pitched ball and threw for a couple of TD's?

What has happened to the play where Jordy rolled to his right with a pitched ball and threw for a couple of TD's?
That Jordy play was in Ron Prince's playbook. I would love to see some plays like that for Sams, though.

Its a great play. And while we usually ran it to the FB, we also ran the same action and threw to the inside receiver in trips formations (usually Sexton). We also ran a similar action and ran a bubble/slant combination and threw to both routes.

Water's running/scrambling abilities improved throughout the season. He started to learn to buy some time in the pocket and still make accurate passes on the run. In the Michigan game, he scrambled for a couple first downs when he couldn't get a pass off. I also recall during the OU game that he scrambled a few times out of the pocket and had a long TD pass to Lockett. If you give him time, he can beat you with his arm or his legs. Now that he has had more time to get comfortable with his receivers and the game has slowed down for him, I think he could have an amazing season. I've never felt this confident about a K-State QB in a long time (even Klein). I have never been concerned about Water's accuracy and arm strength. He also started to identify the defensive mismatches more and audible to take advantage of that (something Klein did very well).
Guys I'm really excited about the upcoming season. If our defense lives up to expectations and our O-Line doesn't suck balls I'm team #10wins.
I feel the same way. Its possible he has the best season ever for a ksu qb, and if the defense is solid and 11 or more wins, heisman is a possibility. The way he throws the deep ball, he could have video game stats (at least if you adjust to a more normal pace of play). Though he probably wont run for a billion tds like Klein

I've really been enjoying stunted's zeal lately.
-
The Lockett post route over the middle should be there all season. Mix in SAMs bubble screens and the jump passes we have the chance to have a top 3 offense in the conference.
My worry is the play calling and the love of the qb run game.
-
I doubt there will be an identity crisis with the playcalling.
Snyder has all summer to come up with plays for Jake :ksu:

Snyder is generally pretty good at handling offenses, especially when he has a capable qb. But even with CCQ under center, our offenses were alright. I'm very excited about our offense, especially if SDS.c's pocket presence improves.
Losing Hubes is a bummer because I loved him, but for the most part, RBs are a dime a dozen.
The biggest question I have is whether we can find a second quality receiver to take some pressure off of Lockett, who (imo) isn't the same kind of a threat that a Jordy, Justin Blackmon, or even Harper were. I'd like to see a more physical receiver emerge as a quality second target. Football roster experts: do we have anyone that could maybe act like that (good hands and >5'10)?

Davis/Klein/Sams?
:dunno:

Davis/Klein/Sams?
:dunno:
They certainly all look the part! OTOH, Torell Miller did too. Hope somebody "breaks out."
-
I hope we throw 50 yard bombs on every play

Is Burton the guy we all used to call "Mercury" a couple years ago? I think maybe he was on Clams' all burner team?
Maybe?

:pray: please find us a tailback

Did you seriously just post that Lockett is not a better WR than Harper? like omg dlew
-
I would defer to _fan on this but I would assume to see more of the "packaged" plays involving more vertical stretch concepts
threaten with run (and visions and options of power) while stretching the field with the h, te, or wr's
also i felt that during the Mich game we were more comfortable with Waters as a "scrambler" rather that forcing run first concepts

I said he isn't the same kind of threat that Harper was. Lockett's way faster and a better route runner etc. etc., but Harper was more physical. It's weird that I had to clarify that point to a great poster like you Carnes.
-
Lockett is like the small baylor guy with stupid hair but way better, more confident, less spiteful/validation-seeking.
-
Early returns on Sams at WR are very good. A comparison to Ryan Broyles was thrown out there, from someone who knows a lot about football.
-

Not sure about that, but the kid is a GREAT (think $EC quality) athlete and the staff seems very high on him at this point.
With DSams development, we have a very solid crew of WR's with Lockett, Sexton, Burton, Klein and Davis. Most years Judah Jones would see a lot of snaps, but will fight for playing time with this group.

Holy crap would take

Well he did used to play as Broyles on the scout team a couple years ago... makes sense.

So do we even need running backs this year or what?
:ksu:

Waters is terrible on speed option, there is no doubt there (though he did improve as the season went along).
However, he's pretty good on zone read option and delay QB lead/draw plays. He is good at moving in the pocket to buy time to throw as well. He's not a detriment as a runner and the QB run game can still be a nice part of our offense, it just won't be the percentage it was for Klein or Sams.
The comparison with Matt Miller is almost spot on. Waters is actually a slightly better runner than Miller, Miller had a higher completion percentage, but Waters has a higher YPA. Their TD:INT is identical.
I just watched all the meaningful offensive possessions from the BWW Bowl and Waters was nearly perfect. He even ran the speed options decently. He tends to slow play them a bit but we still gained yards on each one and I'd bet averaged 4 or 5 yards an attempt.
After rewatching, how good were we or how terrible was the Michigan defense?
i know a guy that watched part of the game with some big12 coaches and he said that the coaches were loling at michigan the entire time and saying that they must not have watched five seconds of kstate tape. take whatever you want from that.

Guys I want a bunch of Sams jet sweep actions but them BAM! deep pass to TLBL for the TOUCHDOWN WIIIILDCATS!!! STAN DID YOU SEE THAT! Yes I did Wyatt, the Sams jet action brought the the safeties up and Lockett beat them deep, and the Cats take a 14 point lead into halftime against the Tigers.

If this play isn't already in the main playbook then Snyders doing it wrong.
Point being that LHCBS never does it wrong, so it's in there. :thumbsup:

We haven't seen the jail-break screen in several years, will it be back this year??
