Changing my tune a bit: A) ARod is probably better than we acknowledge in play

I've always said it more about execution than play calling

Part of being a coach is getting your guys to execute.

Urban Meyer had a player or two who were good at execution.

True. I fault ARod mostly for inconsistent recruiting of the key position at QB.

even in the wac or the mountain west BYU could get GOOD QBs

I mean Bronco had the same problem from 2010-2014/2015

Which is why an OC should be able to depend on position coaches to teach the players their positions and technique.

Who is the QB coach?

Archaea

Sep 16, 4:34pm

That one falls on ARod and whatever GAs/analyst they are using to help the QB.

TheLoneCougar

Sep 16, 4:58pm

No. The QB coach should help with execution

Archaea

Execution and ball security? Explain his role in that, I'm not following.

TheLoneCougar

Sep 16, 7:30pm

Overall he needs to put in systems

Archaea

Sep 16, 10:44pm

And you are under the impression he is not doing this?

Player execution is also on the coach to some extent right? Furthermore if

Reminds me of a BYU football cartoon when Doug Scovil came back to be OC again (1979?)

I need a rod to quit running from shotgun in 3rd or 4th and short to agree.

Those plays drive me nuts. We don't take advantage of the extra vision and are

Like Miles Davis' run on the game-winning drive against SMU.

Had he run from under center on prior plays, I don't think we'd have been in

paulb

The fumbles are the real killer. He is pretty effective as a runner but if he is

Scares me the way holds that ball with one hand

On the pregame, they kept saying how Chase Roberts is about 75% successful on

Good play caller but he doesn't seem to adjust plays to fit the personnel

SnickSnack

You don't think the play calling was different in the first half against Wyoming

Lifer

I think his offensive tendency is to keep teams off balance. This includes

Retzlaff only has one lost fumble this year, so hopefully that's a last year

takes big man to admit when he’s wrong

I don't like his shotgun rb plays on 3rd an1 or 3rd and 2
