Lonergan is a P4 QB and the game would have been competitive if he didn't get hurt.
The mistake, clearly (coaching), was thinking AJ was anywhere near ready to compete for QB1. We went out and purchased an insurance policy in Lonergan whose floor was at least having been a starter on another bad team. He was intentionally not planned as a high upside guy because it was framed to be a QB competition. But look - there’s no way it was ever close. It was on Greg and staff to recognize that AJ needed to be recruited over this summer to the full extent.
He was serviceable at BC. He became barely serviceable/virtually unplayable at RU.Lonergan is barely serviceable, and would be at best a backup anywhere else
And some went to the other team.Again, we have no P4 QB who is accurate. All throws were behind him or over the goal post.
That would be the Velvet Sausage aka Mr. Slice of Heaven.What Idiot posted that ?
The equivalent of William Tell getting a head shot on his kid with the arrow, instead of hitting the apple.And some went to the other team.
He was serviceable at BC. He became barely serviceable/virtually unplayable at RU.
Who would coach this?This might sound crazy, but with a passing attack that makes for a frown more than smile, it might be the best way for RU to be competitive
What Rutgers needs to do is to give up its passing game and stay mainly a running team passing around 10 times a game. ( 8 to Duff, Black targeted twice )
Use the updated Wishbone called the Flexbone triple option.
Give Raymond and Thevenin the bulk of the plays and put an extra TE in as blocking back, along with rotating Aiden Gibson in backfield with them and when Benjamin gets healthy again, add him to the backfield mix..
As for QB Lonergan when it's 3rd and 10 or more , any other time make the TFEX a wildcat (Jabu Package) or AJ operating as an option QB, rarely passing, pitching the ball to the RBs . I believe he was a pretty good runner in HS , so he might work out fine playing an option offense
Rutgers has some good recovers, but without QBs that can be trusted to get the ball to them, an offence designed for running most of the game is needed.
I remember Texas’ Wishbone with Jamie Street at QB , very little passing but the Langhorne’s running game blew the opponent away
I'm pretty sure Stearn is from PA, Ambler PA specifically!Probably the biggest indictment of the staff. It’s unbelievable the couldn’t get someone to get KJ the ball on the regular.
Dylan shows signs but is very indecisive.
