Do you like our offensive scheme???

[deadbeat2381]

I personally hate how the QB holds the ball or fakes the handoff for like 3 seconds...I also don't like how we look to the sidelines before every play...

on a side note i think we should have ran the ball more vs Utah...it seemed to be working, but we abandoned it, or for some reason we had the wildcat early in the game..

also the refs were terrible

 

[CycloneErik]

You made it past 1:00!

 

[CycloneErik]

And I don't think the refs were a problem.

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

Where the heck were you after the TTU win?

 

[thatguy]

like the scheme, don't like the players playing the scheme.

Boom goes the ban-dynamite?

agreed, not sure why we didnt just keep running the ball... it did get away from ISU quickly in the 3rd quarter so running was no longer an option. I think we should be running the ball about 60% of time.

Another troll...err...I mean new guy posing as a Cyclone fan. Sigh. It is usually the worst during "Iowa week", but it looks like a couple of their kids have decided to come over after a loss and have a little childish fun.

Oh, and AA and Arob run the read-option very well when healthy. The pause is AA reading the Defense and deciding to let ARob keep the ball or run it himself. Get a clue.

Love the scheme, Dont always like the timing of certain play calls, or the exucution of some play calls. For example, early in the game when we were running fairly well and we decided to get cute with the wildcat formation.

I think holding the ball was key even when we got down.
Utah's offense became more fluid when we turned the ball over quickly. Holding them to 10 points in the 1st Quarter, forcing a punt and getting a fumble gave us a 2 to 1 TOP advantage. When we got in a hurry things just kept getting worse.

When a team is that good forcing them to cool on the bench
causes them to lose their rhythm and puts Mo back on your
sideline.

Agree. We were actually getting a good push upfront at first, we needed to control the ball better, instead here we are running wildcat. We really should have pounded it at them more I thought and try to control the ball. Still would have gotten killed but I think down the road we have to control the ball and eat more clock to play with these teams.

Why? He is just wanting to debate our scheme. He doesnt like it.
Its not like our offense has been any good under Herman.
But, I'm going to give him more time before I decide one way or the other.

This is the best of his discussion threads. This one seems OK.

I'm up in the air about our scheme. Obviously, not very effective thus far, but I want to see if that's the players, scheme or coach.

 

[Cy'sMatters]

also the refs were terrible

Also...Seneca Wallace
:spinny:

 

[Wesley]

319 yards offense to 428 yards defense in 2010.

I think we should have the offense that our opponents run.

319 yards is almost sinking to the days of 2003 for offense.

297 yards offense and 442 yards defense in 2003.

With five high powered teams left on our schedule, we could approach 2003 stats.

 

[CycloneErik]

I was waiting for the first person to bring up the refs. It took until Monday, so that's not too bad.

This.

Did anyone watch NU dismantle KSU with the read option? Martinez literally pulled the ball out of the RBs hands on his reads and exploded for TDs multiple times. It works exceptionally well when run correctly.
We have run it well in the past but it just didn't work out this weekend and we were outgunned.

I think the system itself is good, but it is still a work in progress.

I would have to disagree with you on this. AA doesn't read that play very well at all! Except for the one time in the Northern Illinois game where he went 50 some yards (got called back for a penatly) he just hasn't been good.
I know his shoulder hurts but right now he is NO threat at all to keep on the read option. Go back and watch the Utah defensive ends just crash as hard as they could. The first play in the second half, he pulled it and went 10 yards untouched. This really could have been done all game long or atleast made the defense make adjustments to actually respect the QB running.

Agree, AA does not run the read option very well. When he's hurt and can't/won't run it is a completely ineffective play and shouldn't even be called. AA not holding the ball on a read option play because of an injury is not that much different than a receiver who has to wear a cast on a hand. You wouldn't put a WR in the game that can't catch, let alone throw to him, so why call the zone read with AA when he's not going to run it?

do you guys like email. I personally think it is impersonal and prefer to write letters. Also, what is the deal with warming food up in the microwave...what happened to the fire?
