The most disappointing player thread made me think of something..

[Jago]

why havent we seen any wr screens or reverses like we did last year with bumphis or heavens? not complaining. i'm just wondering to why ya'll think we havent done it as much because i thought they worked most of the time.

because the QB can see over the O-line this year.

If we try to throw a screen pass, the WR will have to make a diving catch and we'll only pick up 1 - 2 yards (if we're lucky).

...we've run that tailback streak up the middle of the field three times that I can remember, and all three times it should've gone to the house, but Relf can't throw worth a ****. The first time against Auburn it went incomplete, and the second time, at LSU, it was caught but the back (Ballard, I think), had to lay out for it. Ballard dropped the third one last Saturday, but it was a terrible throw and he was jumping and laying out for it.

That's an easy throw. And it's wide open every time.

 

[rugbdawg]

against Georgia was where it had to be. If he led Ballard perfectly, the safety would have broken it up/picked it off. Relf threw it where it had to be if it was going to be a completion. It was up to Ballard to adjust.

 

[Frances Drebin]

....it looked like he had to leave his feet to catch it. Relf has to hit him with a bullet in stride instead of floating it out there.

 

[Coach34]

1. The one vs Auburn was complete- it wasn't a very good pass, but it was caught

2. Against Georgia, the MLB redirected Ballard's route and Ralph had to adjust the throw. He had to also get it over the MLB, so he just couldn't fire it in and had to use a little touch- which of course is extremely tough for him.

 

[Frances Drebin]

1. Yes, it was complete. But if he hits him in stride it goes for many, many more yards, maybe even a TD.
2. Watch the play aGAIN. The LB had nothing to do with the throw.
3. I'm not surprised you rushed here to defend Relf. Someone needs to makea Coach34 To The Rescue image.</p>

Ballard hit the official and got slowed way down. That said, he was running a seam route to the left of the QB which means he was looking over hisright shoulder. Ralph threw it to his left shoulder and high. Maybe the high part was due to not realizing how much Ballard was slowed, but that doesn't account for the wrong shoulder. Relf throws every pass as if it were a fade route.

 

[Coach34]

is not defending Ralph- I'm helping you to not look dumb.

You said it was incomplete against Auburn- you were wrong

Also, you and tenure are both wrong about the route- I just replayed it 5 more times and it's exactly the way I said it was- he started on the left, the MLB steps up and Ballard has to release to the right of the MLB who has stepped in front of the route, and then fade back to the left . Ralph did not have an easy pass to get it over the MLB, who began trailing the route. Should he have completed it? Yes. Was it an easy pass? Not so much, especially with Ballard having to look over his left shoulder to make the play, when originally it going to be a right shoulder throw until the MLB changed the route.

Nobody is saying Ralph is a great passing QB. But to sit here and ***** constantly about him when he is completing 58% of his passes is a little much.

Nobody is saying Rick is a great coach. But to sit here and *****
constantly about him when he is winning 65% of his games is a little
much.

/enjoy the thread hijack i just started folks.

 

[Maron Whit]

not to mention, he'd probably have Relf gain 30 lbs. and then concentrate solely on him getting better at "the drop back stuff", as he so eloquently said in the preseason of 2005 about Omarr Conner.

Mullen is just doing what his QB does best. Run the ball, and roll out and throw on the run.

 

[Frances Drebin]

...I'm going off memory. I don't have every game dvr'ed so I can go back and break down film and try to make up something that wasn't there. Like I said, we've run the play three times that I remember. Once it was incomplete. Maybe it was against Memphis, I dunno. But from my seats in Section D, one was woefully overthrown, and two were so bad that the tailback had to leave his feet to catch them. And both of them might have gone to the house if they were on the money.

On one thing you are dead wrong. If you are a coach like you claim to be, you know that a delayed middle seam route is one of the easiest throws on the field, if not the easiest. Maybe a bubble screen is easier. Quit making it sound like he's Joe Montana. How many times do our receivers have to leave their feet to catch passes from him?

 

[tenureplan]

they drop the ones that hit them in the numbers.

For Christ sake, do we have to call our QB by the wrong $@@#!#+ name because some ******* announcer couldn't pronounce it? Can we not call him by his right $@@#!#+ name?

football, but since you guys want a reply....

Deer's comparision is wrong. Nobody is complaining who Ralph is completing his passes against...but when Stansbury's winning percentage is built off the easiest damn OOC schedule in the SEC year in and year out, and he goes 0-20-something vs top 25 RPI teams- people have a right to complain.

12 of 26 against Auburn with 0 tds
5 of 8 against LSU with 0 tds and 2 interceptions

Would you call that above average?
