Carnell

While I haven't seen any film on him I agree with you. I read a write up on him and the article said he can flip his hips very well indicating he would be a good cornerback. If he also has good backup speed which are two ingredients that is very difficult to coach then he would be a natural corner.

With gus what you see is what you get. In past years people thought that he was holding back on his game plan due to the opponent only to see the same thing when playing an SEC foe.

Man that sounds easy because Gus wants to run the ball it will be that way. Problem is it will not be easy because defenses are going to be gearing up to take this away since they figure the can cover receivers since our pass plays are limited. We dont have a Screen passing program to control blitzes and our opponents will certainly take advantage of that. A screen game can also be used as an extension of our run game and another way of using our running back to generate impact plays. Using two running backs in the zone read attack so the defense will not know which side the play is going to and also making a double option into a triple option. It is a good strategy to employ the running attack a the primary weapon but gus has got to evolve that attack and what worked in the past wont work now without evolving the scheme. I am not ready to be hennie penny and say the sky is falling just yet but I am very concerned about the direction of the program.

Coaching still shows shortcoming. Tried to run time consuming pattern while Oregon blitzed. No blitz packages such as safety valves to backs and quick hitches to tight ends. Coaches acted surprised that Oregon would blitz a freshman quarterback making his first start.
