In reply to: The offense is limited with Book at QB posted by Hanratty5ND
I said in my first sentence that Kelly is the bigger problem.
It probably doesn't matter who plays QB with Kelly as HC--but I was just stating that I don't think Book has skill set needed to lead ND to a playoff win or more.
If you look at the 4 teams in the playoffs last year--the other 3 had superior QB's(and Coaches). I don't think Saban,Swiney or Riley would recruit or even play a QB like Book who could not threaten the back end of a defense.
It is a shame that ND will waste some fine Sophomore speed at WR because the QB can't get the ball downfield. Last year, I think ND had only 1 pass play of over 50 yards. No matter how much Book practices the deep ball--he will never be a real threat with it.
He is quicker but no home run ball. I was disappointed in his
performance against Clemson and USC.
Fr. John said BK has corrected his mistakes and Savvy knows more than the rest of us.
Book will never be great against elite teams.
Nor will anybody else under Kelly.
We might as well root for Ian to be as
good as he can.
offense.
My take is that he expects too much out of his QB in the offense in a college system that only allows for 20 hrs per week of practice.
Dabo does appear to ask his QBs to do too much within the offense. That of course is dependent on how well he coaches the QBs to start with.
Offense with different emphasis, gameplans.
By your definition, no two offenses are the same - Clemson “changed offenses” from year to year (Even though they ran the same offense). Continuing, if you use your definition then no team would run the same offense week to week.
...then it isn't the same offense.
If it were the same offense, then Swinney, overall, would put as much responsibility on his QB that Kelly does. He does not, so it is not.
scheme is how it’s usually defined. We have the same base scheme as Clemson.
All enlightenment starts with a definition of terms.
What makes you think that they have the same base offense besides that both teams run most of their plays with the QB in shotgun?
Is your position that all spread offenses are the same?
His system's design and approach is not the same as any other design and approach
Specifically?
This will be like Donald explaining the circles of healthcare.
How cool was it when Shaw got stuffed for the 100th time in a row on 4th and 1 but used 7 offensive lineman? His offense ranked 123rd in the country, but his kids play tough, power football like we used to under Holtz.
Or that time Harbaugh lined up in a 10-man I-formation? Manball. BK could take a page out of Jim's book, right?
The two of you together - a real brain trust. 10 total watts.
You can make believe the discussions never happened, or that the games and seasons were never played, or watched, or dissected, and that the aroma has wafted away. We know the differences between the offenses.
Begging of the question. Whom does this work on?
Whereas you have been wildly inconsistent, and claiming you're right while simultaneously changing your mind on everything. I'd understand if you had a jt level of knowledge of the game, but you are wrong about nearly everything when you make predictions.
to win 8 games the last two years
freshman.
He's a 5-star.
I'm just saying that 4-stars can perform too if they're coached well.
That seems out of our reach with The 3-Star General.
Clemson can get 2 yards on the ground when it needs to, we can’t and have rarely ever been able to under Kelly’s stewardship.
So, you might be right that Clemson runs the same offense, but somehow they get the running game going just fine, and we struggle annually do the same.
You'd think that would count for something, but I guess he needs a couple more years in the system or something.
Kelly QBs only get worse the longer they are in the system
It didn't work out so well for Germany either.
