I think Rhule outta bring in Dr Route for a weekend clinic every year. Provide him with an chauffeured car and permanent escort to keep him out of the bars.
I think the most important thing of making the WR's better is having a QB that can throw them the ball accurately and consistently. Crazy right?
Josh Martin was a fkin P5 TE Coach at ASU also coached at SMU. He Put guys in the league. Try reading someone’s bio before you pop off about them.
And yet his top guy had problems with his hands and problems blocking, two things you expect a TE to be able to do.
WR's were very poorly coached last year. Problems in that room weren't just because of talent.
I wish you were joking but I know you're not. The top guy had 2 major knee surgeries, which not only meant he didn't really have any game experience, he also missed a ton of practice time. Basically a redshirt freshman in terms of practice time. While learning to trust his knees. Against Big 10 DE's and LB's.
So poorly coached that a 5.5 3 star, which you despise, who had such marginal offers he wasn't even going to play football before Rhule was hired, got a carry in the opening game. Against a conference opponent.
Coaches
Making crap up as usual. You can search my post history if you want. I've never said one disparaging thing about Lloyd.
The Maryland game where Purdy threw an interception at the end, the receiver ran a piss poor route that was a contributing factor to that. Receivers ran lazy, piss poor routes the entire year. That's not a talent issue, it's a coaching and effort issue.
This BS about having at WR coach that’s to young is the most lazy and tiresome topic on this board.
********.
So you are saying the coach is teaching them to run poor routes? If not then it is a talent issue, in that if there was more talent on the team then Nebraska wouldn't be playing players that continue to run poor routes. The fact that the Bullocks kid is playing the number of snaps he is tells me that there is a talent issue.
Yes, the routes are piss poor because the coaching is piss poor. Bullock sucks but we can't blame it all on talent as every other receiver also ran piss poor routes. They've received no coaching because we have a 23 year old who has no clue what he's doing as their coach.
I'm saying the WR's themselves were god awful. It wasn't just QB play that led to the worst offense this program has had in 60+ years.
Once again, the idiots on this board just wash away the fact we had a historically bad offense last year. Yes, the receivers were a large part of the reason why. If you were paying attention, I had made several statements of what they were doing wrong over the course of the season. The first thing the coach should be doing is to tell his guys not to run piss poor, lazy routes. Guys ran weak, passive, and slow routes meaning defenders could either force the receivers wherever they wanted or would easily be in position to play the ball. There were also a lot of drops and blocking was subpar. These are effort and habitual issues and it's obvious those guys weren't being coached properly.
If I was able to (to your credit, I’m not smart enough and one of the dumb ones), I could put together clip after clip in every single game of receivers being open and QBs not getting them the ball. I’m not saying they never ran bad routes, but it’s too easy to put it all on the receivers. The amount of time there were open windows for the receivers suggests they were doing ok with route running much of the time. Room for improvement? Sure. God-awful? I don’t think so.
In hindsight, the loss of Washington was a big deal. He was shaping up to serve as a security blanket for HH in the pass game.
