Silver Lining?

this has never been more appropriate. @ Everyone ITT:

If we go back to some of the power football principals Rhule garnered from TO during that time, think we could get a couple down the stretch. TJ running option pass? EJ downhill 30x/game? Playing keep away from opposing offenses?

Since you bumped…we’re doing little to none of what you prescribed…
 
Two straight under center downhill to start the half

Sorry to offend
You mean once we are up 14 we are trying to construct a long drive to eat up clock?

But that’s not what you were talking about - you were talking about doing that keep TJ comfortable out of the gate. And they didn’t.

Don’t talk to me about the 2nd half when we are already up 21-7…don’t be disingenuous AND a dumbass. Pick one.

You’re right we definitely didn’t establish EJ right away or run any option on our first drive.

Try to actually use the eyes and brain you possess, friend.

Glad they went power and downhill for that TD to Emmett there. Not sure Teej could even stand up straight if we weren’t propping him up and “playing keep away” from the other offense

Fucking idiot

We’ve thrown 8 passes all game

It’s called setting up the play action

Have another cranberry juice, bud!

And 2 of them have been 40+ yard TD pass plays…

Half of EJ’s rushes have been in the red zone…almost as many inside their 10…

again - don’t be disingenuous - the game they are calling isn’t even CLOSE to what you originally prescribed. Because you’re an idiot

One was a screen the other was play action HB wheel

We’re not sitting in the pocket here, pal

I know it’s en vogue to disagree with me out of hand, but maybe pick a better spot next time

EJ up to 17 carries already. 30 incoming. Having a blast watching this!

Quick question - is 54 plays for us and 74 plays for them considered “playing keep away” as you said we’d do?

Then - while everyone is saying how much this finally looks like a Holgo offense, it’s your take that we went away from “what we want to do”? Even while Rhule is praising TJ for playing like a veteran that they’ve had supreme confidence in?

But, sure, Pat yourself on the back for being close to the final number, while ignoring how we got there. Great job, bud! It’s not like 17/28 came in the red zone or 4th qtr of a 2 score game.

And ignore that we thrived on either quick game or play action far more than “option pass” which I assume you mean to be traditional RPOs, not the traditional Nebraska option pass best ran by Jammal Lord

Yeah - I only am pointing these out because calling you wrong is “en vogue”, not because you’re a verifiable dumbass
 
Maybe all of our reading comprehension is shot, I read it as he is saying HH is the better QB. I’m a numbers guy by trade and training though so maybe I’m just reading wrong
You guys.

“TJ is less talented than HH.”
This is an argument OP does NOT think anyone would make.

You’re right. Reading compression ITT sucks.
 
it’s your take that we went away from “what we want to do”?
this isn’t even my take, it’s just plain as day obvious.

If we wanted to be a run-first, downhill football team, we would try to do that.

Instead, we insist on doing the finesse stuff we do with Dylan (what we want to do).

Now that we’re forced to go back to Plan B, it once again seems to suit us quite nicely.
