Coaching is in a good spot in basketball. Not the case in football.
Damn Barbay, lie to us. Tell me, we had X number of receivers open that we did not see or hit. We missed Y amount of blocks. We cannot pick up stunts or blitzes. WRs running routes not expecting a throw. Miscommunication here and there. We are working to clean this up.
I think we have a chinaman's chance to be pretty good in men's basketball this year.
We did have receivers running open a lot. Will either didn't see them, waited to long to throw the ball, or rock skipped it in the general direction.
And sadly it really feels like this will be a wash, rinse, repeat performance.
They didn’t ruin him. The Will that a lot of us tried to tell you existed is rising to the top. The Air Raid and Mike Leach masked a ton of his issues. Now he doesn’t have that.
And as far as stats go Will got lot of snaps in the last three years in games that we had under control that 2nd team QB should've gotten. It just flat looked at times like we were more interested in padding his stats than we were getting another QB ready if we needed him..
Imagine having your O line go from Mason Miller to Will Friend, then your play calling from Mike Leach to Barbay.
I was screaming at the TV for Leach to put in Wright*** I did actually groan after the fumble on the goal line.
Different timing. Different scheme . A lot of our passes last year were quick throws out or finding open man. This is a little more based on reading progressions like they do in the nfl. Listen to them talk about dak. They are talking about his mechanics and his footwork lining up with the count. There is a reason outside of lack of arm strength and mobility around and outside of the pocket that nfl teams didn't like enough about Will. They weren't trying to convince record setter in passing to come out as a junior. Why do you think that is? We aren't seeing Will on draft board watch lists even with his records. It's because of his athleticism and also his understanding of the nfl style of offense. I thought this offense could help him but he's struggling outside of leach air raid scheme.
Oh yeah....he will never play next level. That's no doubt. He was good at what we were doing but not next level. I expected them to ease into.the transition for some reason. But he is not athleticism any way.
Well even not being athletic guys like Kirk cousins isn't most athletic guy but still can work out of the pro style offense. Obviously Barbay isn't doing Will a lot of favors but if he wanted to play at next level he really needed to show he can run this style of offense. But not being able to move within the pocket for throwing lanes and avoid sacks is hurting him. His timing on the routes is also off that's why most hud throws are in the dirt or over thrown. He gets happy feet at the least bit of rush or csnt see the open guy or hasn't it made it their in the profession. Some of that could be Barbay giving him the wrong progression. However those progressions seem to work fine last year at app state. I think it's just too foreign off an offense that put guys have been running the leach system for 3-4 years and being introduced to a pro style offense had made it difficult to implement. I would imagine the pulling play where both sides are pulling someone screwed up.
