Malachi Coleman

[kaz36]

I know that Rhule is trying to play the long game with Coleman in redshirting him this year. But, is he our best blocking WR? It seemed like he did well last year as a true freshman and with our WR being really bad at blocking, did it make sense for them to redshirt him or should he be on the field?

I gotta say, how does Banks find a way to get an illegal block in the back penalty every game? That's gotta be some sort of consecutive game streak record.

Maybe that’s how Doogie teaches it along with WR picks that always get called.

WR play has been a cluster fuck this year.
Banks and Neyor seem to run a lot of bad routes. And Raiola is always throwing behind them. I don’t think either have had a normal catch and run all year.

Bonner has no business seeing the field ever.

I don’t understand the play designs for Lloyd and Barney. Two fast players and you do really nothing to test teams vertically with them.

Haarberg was better with deep balls to WRs than Raiola so far

Honestly might be the most surprising thing to me so far this season, absolutely zero legitimate vertical threat in this offense

I don’t believe the play calling is inherently all bad. Something like 55-60% of Raiolas completions were 5 yards or less from the Los. I’m fine with that too even. Mike leach ran that shit to death at Texas tech.
The issue is Raiola doesn’t really fire a pass and lead a receiver in stride. Other WRs don’t know how to block to get more yards. WRs are almost always adjusting to catch short passes killing their forward momentum. The yac has to be terrible for this team.

Raiola only threw a couple completions that were caught past 10 yards downfield vs Indianus.

Yeah, especially with a recruiting focus that goes after track guys & burners. Clearly from that aspect we have the desire to be able to to pressure the the back end of the defense and keep the safeties back, we have the QB who can easily get the ball way downfield, we have a line that can protect reasonably well so that unlike the 2022 Casey Thompson-Trey Palmer scenario, it's actually likely that the QB will have time to take a normal dropback & launch one... yet we're not really even attempting the deep routes that the coaches themselves ostensibly want to feature. Probably the most baffling thing to me about this offense.

I think it's difficult to understate how much of a disappointment Banks has been. Neyor was a bit more of a wildcard because he's never produced at this level, but I wonder if Rhule had to do it over if he wouldn't have shelved Malachi

Coleman I just assumed was never going to figure it out and that’s why he was “redshirted.”

Redshirting Van Poppel is, in my opinion, the dumbest choice made in terms of personnel.

I was with you until the end.

Lmao. What? He had like two deep balls that were good last year. He complete 49% of his passes.

Fuck, on Saturday in his limited action he could have easily had 2 picks on the last drive.

Good fucking lord the obsession with HH is retarded. Dylan is a 5 star with immense talent that is struggling in the middle part of the season due to a variety of different factors, some of which are his own.

but Jesus Christ stop with the HH stuff

Coleman hasn’t figured it out. Has been unable to digest the playbook. They want to work with him…but it’s on him

What if I told you that Malachi Coleman isn't that good.

Wish they would get him a better position coach and OC

He’s athletically gifted…just can’t get the work done between the ears.

From what I heard he wasn't even the best WR on his high school team. No doubt he looks the part. But can he play the part.

As far as Coleman and other young redshirted players go, after the OSU game they could start playing them all some and still preserve their redshirts (at least those that haven't played in any games yet). We might see some of that happening once we are down to 4 games left on the schedule. I believe I read that if we make a bowl game, playing in that does not count towards to 4 game counter (could be wrong on that), so they could play in a bowl game also I think.

No idea if Coleman has improved this fall, but it is at least a legitimate thought that we could play some of the redshirted guys the last 4 games of the season. At the very least, to start getting them game experience, and maybe some of them would actually add positive things to the offense (or defense depending on the player).

He was the most athletically gifted, but certainly wasn't the best due to the 10 cent head. Ultimately the problem was he struggled with the playbook and remembering routes.

I'm fairly sure that Coleman played on special teams against Buttgers.
