coaching

[ModAdmin]

coaching is a question mark for sure...and players executing reflects on the coaches and coaching decisions may put players in positions they shouldn't be...that said:

cooley hasn't returned kicks since high school so on a week with one practice (not counting the walk through) coaches decide he is the best option. seems odd

the play call to pass in the end zone when we need a fg...very odd play call and strev needs to fire it out of bounds when he sees sterns covered and going against a db 8 inches taller.  seems odd

lots of questions on mitchell, but with strev at qb - it really doesn't matter he can't make multiple reads and deliver to the second or third read anyways. the business about him not being able to waggle - well teach him, that is what coaches do..

Corcoran - MOS loves his grit and blocking - takes a penalty for that.

the continued runs up the middle on the sneaky option where strev fakes running with the ball is fooling nobody. 

i liked the defensive shuffles this week, good work coaches  - Coxie is going to give any DB a challenge. 

was Collaros on the sideline? i couldn't see from my seat.

He was caught on camera, on the sidelines, a few times.

O'Shea was the right coach at the right time.  That time is over........

Cooley not getting a single touch was disappointing.  Complete waste of a roster spot just for him to screw up an opening KO.

Corcoran - MOS loves his grit and blocking - takes a penalty for that.

I swear that Corcoran will catch anything near him.  What hands!!  I would be shocked if he has a catchable dropsie at all this season, and I am eagerly awaiting his first Dressler-esque or Kenny-esque catch...

the continued runs up the middle on the sneaky option where strev fakes running with the ball is fooling nobody. 

It worked twice.  Once Brady kept it.  Once Strev kept it.  Both times we got at least 5 I think, one maybe closer to 8?  The key is Strev picking which guy gets it... I like the confusion it causes and I saw TOR D paralyzed and triple-thinking their direction.

The problem with the run game remains firmly with the every-changing and lackluster OL.  If we had the '21 OL right now Strev & Brady would have had 70 & 120Y respectively.  But right now getting pass pro right is more important.  First things first.

Coaching issues once again raised its ugly head both roster wise and in game play calling:
1. The most obvious and biggest error of the year was with less than minutes on the 14 yard line calling a deep corner pass which got intercepted. We only needed 3 to make it a two score game.
2. Having Streveler remain in the pocket way to much. He has trouble making reads by having him roll out he's  more accurate , makes decisions quicker with less options
3. Trotting out Cooley as a kr with virtually no experience in a week where practice time was very limited. Not only did he fumble the opening kick but his lack of communication with teammates was obvious including on the 4th quarter moon kickoff, He should have been taking control to prevent the ball from bouncing rather than being tentative and seeing if someone else was going to take it.
4. How is Corcoran a better option than Mitchell, certainly the waggle wasn't a factor as he only catches balls for 6 yards. At least Mitchell has a chance to make someone miss. With the added benefit of having experience in kick returns
5. late in the 4th qtr (2.02 remaining) on a 2nd and 4 we decide to have Strev dropback and he gets sacked losing field position RUN THE BALL or at least short quick pass.
