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

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

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.

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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