Tiger 8,825 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Our screen game actually improved under Chip. Gone were the days of 1 WR having to block 2 defenders on the outside. I fear that will be a staple in our O again starting with Oregon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually picked up a lot of yards and first downs with the screen. Ryan Davis was fantastic and Stidham was outstanding at placing the ball so that RD was already facing upfield when he caught it. It's just that we didn't do anything else. The conversation reminds me of the wildcat conversation when KJ was here. It was productive. Like, hella productive. But we didn't run different looks out of it and folks got bored and grumpy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUApostle 7,651 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Question for the board...I follow a few posters on here that I deem to have decently solid inside info...but most of those folks are not posting lately. It's been well over a week, maybe two, since guys like WDEWDE have sprinkled us with tidbits. Are things extremely quiet around the Athletic Department right now or is there just not that much juicy stuff going on within the program to report?

Beenjammin 87 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Biggest concern for me is the officials letting them play. I dont know which crew we will get , but I just dont want our D hampered by one-sided pass intereference penalties....... Or one sided offensive holding calls on the O line ...... I have a feeling the ducks will be putting the ball in the air a good bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianTiger 95 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 After some more thought... Running game and OL Can we replace the most productive reciever Ryan Davis Deshaun Davis was solid, who steps in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auctoritas 2,828 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 After thinking more...the deep ball against our DBs is what has me the most worried. I mean, we will give up some, but I can see a TN situation where we get Herbert in 3rd and extra long and they just complete back breaking throw after back breaking throw.

Gus didn't give up playcalling duties (at all really but even if he did it wasnt) because we had been having success with him calling plays. I hope Gus gets back his mojo he lost after the 2014 A&M game and becomes the dynamic playcaller he was as an OC. As I am about the OL, I don't believe it for an instant. I hope he can, but he will need to show me. You mean hurry up to running up the middle after a first down is not innovative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt Ryan Davis was stellar in the screen game, but JMO I think he was put in a better position to succeed with Chip's input into our screen game. It seemed like xCCL eliminated our guys being outnumbered by defenders on the outside whenever we would run a WR screen like we saw the prior 2 seasons. I expect us to run a bunch of them this Saturday though, it's not like we don't have guys that can make defenses pay but we have to put the WRs in a position to succeed. 1 guy can't block 2 players. And often times, back when Rhett was here, defenses knew it was coming so 2 defenders were jumping the screen with the blocking WR essentially being set up to fail 🤦♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stove seems like a great candidate for those. Maybe Hill, too. We need that play. But it doesn't need to be the main course. It just needs to be an ingredient in the gumbo. I want gumbo, Tiger!
