practice sets? Hardly. There is no good here -- just more of the same old same old bad.


Wimbush needs drills, lots and lots of them, to correct his flaws. Past BK QBs lack of fundamentals after 3-4 years with BK support that. How's TR job training coming along?


Pass happy practices continue the BK's 9th year of producing soft teams.


Makes one pine for Davies.

Apparently the coaches think so (and do many observers)

Seems to have three problems: seeing the field, consistent footwork and not pulling his short throws.

Seems logical to practice those.

Seems logical to focus on the run

Reinforcing failure is a stupid strategy. Our Qb has problems "seeing the field, consistent footwork, and not pulling his short throws."

Then nullify those weaknesses - make them irrelevant. Don't try and shore them up, a losing proposition at this level.
If all that remains true next year then the offense is

Fooked. If they don’t work on it now, than the ghost of football future is the tail end of last year or worse (without Adams, Nelson and McGlinchy.) We could work on the run game 100% and we’d be fooked if the passing game doesn’t improve.

yes, totally screwed if we don't become elite at passing

the only way to open up the running game is by passing more.

It's elementary. Secret sauce. If you want to read more on it, just join one of the "+1 in the box" sites.
the same observers who think that the running game issues

are basically just due to being -1 in the box.
If he can't improve with drilling, then the practice time is

wasted re footwork and pulling his throws -- especially so after this many years in Mr's 28 years of experience's system. That Wimbush is getting so many reps says that BK has made his choice this spring as to who his starter is.

WRT seeing the field, that is a system and coaching issue. Let's see, hmmm, has this ever been good for Kelly or Rees coached QBs?

Oh well . . .

I'm coaching a team right now with a similar situation

My #1 starting pitcher can't throw a curveball for a strike. He throws his 4-seam and sinker just fine, but the curve (and slider just aren't working.

I spend all of my time with the pitchers, pitching being what I'm known for, and 80% of my practices going over strikeouts via the curve. I can't understand why my ace can't figure out how to throw a damn curveball. Sometimes I get a little upset about it, I admit.
