Burns was good in coverage. Geary and Britz were beasts. I want to see Silmon get carries when the defense isn't already worn out. The oline needs a lot of work.

I thought he did a lot of nice things. I like his patience as a runner. He threw nice deep balls. He seemed to get us in some good checks. No turnovers is a big plus.

He needs to manage the clock much better though. His short throws were rough. And he has to find ways not to take so many hits or he won't last. Granted, Snyder's offense leads to QB's getting hit, but he can help himself by not taking so many direct shots.

I feel like he's going to end up getting both legs amputated at the knees by the end of the year.

He seems to get hit more middle low body where Collin took mostly shoulder hits. He'll get broken either way but maybe in a different part.

He'll definitely be broken or concussed if he doesn't change a bit. I will say he's tougher than he looks, I thought several of those hits might break him.

I'm pretty sure laser is the only option for the Bazooka. He doesn't seem to have the touch on a deep ball. Also, he bounces and sails shorter sideline routes, Waters seemed to just sail them.

Lazers for me. bombs are nice too, but always had the feeling we got lucky, even though Waters consistently completed them. Feel like Hubener could fire out lazers all day. Seems like a tradition now to start out throwing short passes in the dirt.

Positives: Cantele might not choke 100% of the time anymore.

Also, that Will Geary suplex (think it was him) was pretty BA. Plus also, that Davis guy seems to be pretty good.

Plus also as well: 3 points in two games.

Negatives: Just watching some other Big 12 games, I'd probably rather have any other team's QB right now, even though I still like Bazooka Joe.

I'll wait for a statistically significant sample size first, but I know Hubes missed a lot of pretty easy passes. If he doesn't shore that up quickly, decent teams will have a field day with us.

Joe has only taken a meaningful snap in two football games in his entire life. I think he will improve faster than most QBs do because he shouldn't be nearly as close to his ceiling as a typical college QB is.

Moonshots are only better if you have a wide receiver who's managed to get himself wide open deep downfield.

This is probably true, which is why I said "right now." I do think we have a pretty solid running game, and if Hubes can shore up the intermediate passing, we could have a solid offense IF the WRs step up.

I really like Bazooka Joe as a runner.  Have since last season.  He's Klein-esque.  I think if he can continue to connect on some deep throws we will be in good shape, he needs to improve on the sideline throws and the short passes, but he's shown a QB that could win 9 games this year if this D is legit.

Yeah, it was great. UTSA put 8 or 9 in the box and we tried to beat them deep in one on one coverage. Snyder was intent on ramming Hubener and Jones against that front early and finally opened it up.

Post by: kso_FAN on September 12, 2015, 09:31:07 PM
The other good thing is no picks. The biggest knock I've heard about Hubener from the past is that he had a strong arm but didn't show the ability to throw accurate and often forced things in practice leading to interceptions. This was a big reason Ertz won the job, but so far Hubener doesn't seem to have that problem though maybe tougher competition will bring that out.

I went back and watched every play on offense.  I completely agree with the observations about the absurd paradox on Hubes' long balls being nice and the short stuff being really bad.  How does that happen?  Seems Chuck Knoblockish to me.

I don't think Hubes is a "good" runner at all.  I think he made some opportunistic decisions (which is good).  I am no Bear Bryant, but I personally don't expect to see those kinds of opportunities available when we play Big 12 games (KU notwithstanding).  I also agree that he will be injured early and often with that upright running style.

I wasn't convinced by a single thing in our running game.  Did not like it.  Those were non-power 5 yards yesterday.  I fully expect us to struggle massively running the ball in the Big 12.  This is probably why we throw deep so much, merely to open up the running game a little bit. 

Burton is infuriating.  Cody Cooks Can Catch.  Davis and Heath are encouraging.



Not too many people talking about how we have burned Delton's redshirt.  I see that as huge.  I know we can still red shirt him in a later year (Beasley), but with Hubes' absurd collision style of running and our inability to move the ball in short yardage situations any other way, Delton is going to get a chance to play this year.  Once he does, I pray he puts a choke hold on this thing (until Bill and Dana spaghetti brain him).

Delton burning a redshirt is not that talked about because it was absolutely necessary. It sounds like Delton is the clear #2 QB this year, and you do not want him waiting on the sidelines without a single in game snap.

I completely agree, but it also would not have happened with a healthy Ertz.  I want Delton to start NOW.  Let's take our lumps with him and invest in the future.  Hubes is a waste of time, IMO.

Not too many people talking about how we have burned Delton's redshirt.  I see that as huge.  I know we can still red shirt him in a later year (Beasley), but with Hubes' absurd collision style of running and our inability to move the ball in short yardage situations any other way, Delton is going to get a chance to play this year.  Once he does, I pray he puts a choke hold on this thing (until Bill and Dana spaghetti brain him).

1.  Re:  short/long throws.  It is actually a bit more typical than you think and he seems at least as competent a thrower as sophomore Ell or Junior yr Klein.  I am encouraged thus far.  They both struggled with zipping accurate balls out on bubble screens/slants/hitches and overthrew or bounced throws.  But they both developed in to very effective passers within the system that did more than keep D's offense, they hurt other teams with big pocket throws on 3rd down and play-action deep.  IT IS EARLY!!

2.  Go back and look at film of Klein, or hell go back and look at film of Jonathan Beasley running.  You will see slow/plodding/"lucky" runs.  It is patience reading the blocks and a good understanding of how to cut back against overpursuit.  There will absolutely be times when he gets hit for a 3-5 yard loss or is stuffed at the hole.  As long as he isn't fumbling a la Waters, it won't be that bad and you will appreciate all the yards he does get.  The 3rd down scrambles for 1st downs are absolutely crushing for defenses and particularly with our TOP offensive scheme they will pay big dividends beyond even beyond the immediate gains.  I am not simply relying on watching Hubes this year, but also how well he looked in garbage time last year against UT and TCU who both have solid D's with solid athletes.  He was fantastic. I am encouraged by QB run game.

3.  The RB by committee thus far has not been effective.  I think Warmack and Silmon are clearly showing more than Jones, but a lot of his specialty has been taken over by Dimel.  I agree that the RZ use of Dimel has been annoying, but it has been stubbornly effective and he is as good as Gronk in the system already, he is a player.  I think our pop passing game is still a threat and I hope to see some more wrinkles off of it in conference season.  Again, it is early, but there are legit concerns here that teams will be able to stop the running game with only 7 or 8 in the box.

4.  The WR is concerning.  Heath is ok, but is always going to have a lot of limitations given his size/speed/hands.  He has been helpful so far.  Cody Cook seems to be our best possession guy/willing and able to go over the middle.  Burton, and I am not trying to be too mean here, is a slightly better catching Terrell Miller without any of the blocking ability.  Feel free to call that Preslumptuous .  Davis has been ok thus far.  A lack of explosiveness/YAC/deep threats is my biggest concern.

5.   The Defense is legit.  I am concerned by the lack of big plays, turnovers, and QB pressure but Geary and Britz seem very capable against the run and Bryant, Davis, McDaniel and Burns are all playmakers, losing Barnett has hurt, but so far so good.

6.  Special Teams unclear.  Not sure what we will get out of this yet.  How long is McCrane out?  Leg injuries for kickers, even if it is the plant foot are NOT good.  KO returns have been pretty good thus far, but both punt units have been poor.  I am very concerned if we get in to a bad way with our kicking game as we need that margin in our favor to get past 7 wins.

Delton burning a redshirt is not that talked about because it was absolutely necessary. It sounds like Delton is the clear #2 QB this year, and you do not want him waiting on the sidelines without a single in game snap.

I completely agree, but it also would not have happened with a healthy Ertz.  I want Delton to start NOW.  Let's take our lumps with him and invest in the future.  Hubes is a waste of time, IMO.

What are you watching?  I am all for Delton getting snaps this year, but I don't see the need to rush him.  Maybe I will feel differently after our first loss, but Hubes seems very capable of going 9-3 with this defense and this schedule.

Give him a year to learn and get bigger and better while we beat up another QB. He'll start next year and for the years after that. No reason to get our future injured in a year he can't do much any way.

If the oline can learn to block better on running plays and we find one legitimate deep threat I think we can have a solid nine to ten win season. And Bazooka's stats will end up being better than Beasley's first year stats if he isn't killed midseason....or this offense could end up as shitty as 09 and we end up with six wins and a sucky bowl.  What an exciting time for K-State Cats  football.

It ain't perfect, but based on everybody's pre-season doom & gloom predictos, it's obviously way better than expected.

not everyone had pre-season doom & gloom predictions
no one predicted we would lose either of our first two games, we won them as we should have
no one knows how good this team is at this point in the season

Remember our Nic, Vic, and Thick goal line package? That's where I want to see Winston used, I have seen enough of him as a single back. Someone think of a catchy nickname of a Gronk, Dimel, and Silmon backfield.
Glenn, Win and Thin (huebner)

Pretty good but the 3rd needs to be Jones, Silmon, or Warmack. Nic, Vic, and Thick was a 3 back set.

I think most expected to be 3-0 to start the season.  It's the next 5 games in a row that could very easily all be Ls. 

that's a concern.

My point is that while most everybody expected 2-0 &/or 3-0, most everybody also predicted that we'd "barely win" these first couple games... Not everybody, but a lion's share of the predictos were like that.

This team is WAY better at this point of the season than even I expected and I was pretty optimistic based on reports from current players & coaches that I've gotten.

I like the thought that if we get down late in a game we don't have to accept defeat (Kleins junior year) because bazooka Joe can find a man deep. 

I don't like that every pass seems to be behind and low so the receivers have to go to the ground to catch it. I think we only got a handful of catches that allowed the receivers to keep running and earn yards after the catch.

after seeing how many balls Burton dropped last game, yards after catch should be the least of our concerns.  let's just focus on the catch part.  baby steps.

The main problem is Winston Dimel carrying the football. These guys underutilized Gronk last year and now Dimel is getting more carries (even though he is worse in every way).

Dimel has 16 carries with a 2.9 average. Not good. His average is .3 below Charles Jones.

Dimel has the lowest average on the team.

Bazooka Joe has a 3.7 average.

I am hoping that the coaching staff is just playing around and we will stop doing this during conference play.

I need more Gronk!!!!!   2 carries  8.0 per carry :emawkid:
I also need lots more Silmon!!!  12 carries 7.6 per carry :ksu:

Except they're not. He got several carries Saturday in 5+ yards to go situations. Those are the ones most of us want him not to get because he is not a good option for those situations. He's good, maybe great as a short yardage back/lead blocker, but bad at longer distances.

Dimel's use is pretty simple.

In the field, he's a blocker and a pass route threat; his primary role as a runner is as a redzone back.

Of his 16 carries, 14 have come inside the redzone. The other 2 where inside the opponent's 30. 10 have come in goal to goal situations. The logic seems to be that the coaching staff trusts him as a tough runner who will stay downhill and get positive yards. This seems to be true as he only has 1 negative yardage carry in these situations. I don't believe that they think Gronk has this skill set as he has very few carries in any situation. My take is that Gronk is faster and a better athlete, but Dimel is a little more compact and a better downhill runner and blocker.

I'm not going against you _FAN because that's obviously what the staff thinks, but to suggest that Gronk, given Dimel's 16 carries, wouldn't have avg'd 2.9 yards a carry and as many touchdowns is just silly.

I don't necessarily disagree. My assumption comes from their usage and some things I've heard. Winston already has twice as many carries in his career as Gronk.

I never heard anybody clamoring for more Gronk carries until Dana and Julie Dimel Family Fullback entered the picture. 

seems to me this argument has less to do with Gronk's running ability and more to do with disliking Dana Dimel.

To me its curious that a coaching staff that almost always chooses to play the incumbent starter ahead of the any newcomer (no matter how talented the newcomer) until either a) the incumbent plays himself out of the role or b) new comer proves himself on ST or with excellent, sustained play in mop-up duty now finds itself with a position player who did neither before earning playing time.

I'm not saying Dimel isn't good but it seems as though he skipped through the first few steps and was virtually anointed into being an integral part of our offense. So yeah, dad and stuff.

I think it depends if you have a Tyler Lockett. I think moon shots would be not so good with these WRs.

Could we get some oversized thigh pads for Joe?  Seems like his thighs are not protected enough for his upright running style.

Was thinking something like this.

Hubes isn't making it through the season if he keeps getting knee tackled while standing straight up and down.  This is the most worrying thing about this season, to me.

I would expect that we could start seeing a change in play calling to protect him. Similar to what we saw last year with Waters.

The play calling only changed for Waters after he got hurt, I would suspect that will be the case with Hubes as well (as it was with pretty much any other quarterback for Snyder).

It might change now that Delton is hurt, though.

Possibly, but Snyder has proven over his career that he will do what it takes to win games when it comes to how he uses banged up players.
