It's time for Gabe Myles to step up

[57stratdawg]

They say he's going to be a deep threat this year and moved him out to Z from slot. I certainly hope so. If he can take the top off of coverage, our passing attach can really take shape.

The OL needs to block for 3 seconds...

The OL needs to block for 3 seconds...

that wont happen and like last year, we shouldn't ask them to. We should be heavy on run, zone read, play action. That 5 step , 7 step, dropback , hold the block for 3-5 seconds, will not work until we get an all world line which we don't have yet.

Time to get back to what we do best.

How do you know that is what we do best? Seems we have a weak OL and no proven RB.

 

[57stratdawg]

I bounce back and forth on our offense's effectiveness this year. OL seems like the key. We kind of know what we're going to get everywhere else.

I could see the OL being anything from a D- to a B+ this year.

 

[coach66]

Agreed

[kired]

Gotta stay healthy. That's been his biggest problem so far.

 

[121Josey]

He should be an upgrade over F.Brown. Despite the green QB, they should be able to stretch the field with Gray, Ross, and Myles. A lot will depend on whether the run game keeps the safeties honest.

Agreed.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I'm with

you. We've GOTTA have our OL perform. If they do, everything else will be fine. Without it, the rest doesn't matter.

 

[RightOfCenter]

One thing missing last year that was good, besides OL play,in '14 was the blocking by TE\WR. In 14 we made a living off screens that opened up the run game, which Myles benefited from. We need to return to the '14 type Offense. Maybe the big TE from juco can set that up

 

[57stratdawg]

Hopefully. He's listed at 290, or at least he was a couple weeks ago. I know everyone says he's a hell of an athlete, but damn.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Sounds awful familiar. JUCO tight end that looks like a LT but plays TE because he's such a great athlete.

 

[ShrubDog]

Seems like we will have more speed overall this year than last year.

 

[57stratdawg]

We should at WR at least and our QBs should throw a better deep ball (at least in theory). I would imagine the game plan this year is going to be establish the run then throw to throw the ball down the field some.

I guess that's assuming Williams isn't start at QB which he very well may.
