Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Midas]

Was just watching some 2022 highlights and noticed we ran so much more motion and did load up one side with 3 receivers a lot more and it worked so well. Why are we not doing that anymore?!

 

[LotteryPick]

Heupel has the plays in hand during the games, he's in direct communication with Hazle. I dont think you can pass on that blame to Halze.

IIRC, Golesh called the plays and Heupel watched the secondary and communicated when to take a shot. It helped that Hooker couldn’t miss in 2022

Halze has to have some responsibility. He either isn’t seeing what was obvious to golesh or the development he’s responsible for isn’t there. If he’s just a glorified binocular holder in the pressbox then fire him.

Sure, he has some responsibility. You have to place some percentage on it. I'd think the offense is 80% on Heupel/ 20% Hazle.

Thanks I’ll check it out

Halze must just walk around like a giraffe calling out of his 5 play playsheet

Watching USF, you see the wrinkles. How effective it is in presenting mismatches.

 

[SagginVawls]

Offense needs fresh ideas. Need better playmakers at WR. Have to blitz more. Our LB can't cover WR, they were too slow. Portal time.

Bright side it is fully basketball season.

I think some of the limitations on play calling is on poor OL play. But there were times last night that Nico had plenty of time. Either recievers were covered or Nico wasn't seeing them. It seems our routes are so very basic. 2 years ago and even last year, we had some really creative stuff to get recivers open. Not so much anymore. Something has changed and I don't think it's all because a lack of talent.

That account posts the dumbest tweets. None of that is funny or surprising no matter what team you support.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Weak. They're searching for content where there is none. All those were reasonable post.

We don't use motion and need to imo. I want the Bru type in the slot like jauan in sf. In this offense that is better. A squirrel type should be wr #4 in motion like Tyreek Hill.

He blocked me for calling him out on these type of posts awhile ago.

That type of account definitely has a short lifespan. Not very entertaining long

1st quarter buried us. The game looks a lot different if we could've stayed within 7 that qtr. That dang face mask penalty changed the whole quarter.

I quit posting in here not long after the 3rd time i dog cussed Eason for that. No excuse. None. We should have had the ball at midfield looking to go up 7-0. Onstead they had 1st down at the 45 and went up 7 in 60 seconds on the bomb.

It was backbreaking. It was incredibly stupid...peewee ball kids know that you never run up to ANY player and reach for their head or facemask. Go for the ball...go for the tackle (waist)...go for ANYTHING EXCEPT THE FACEMASK.

He killed us. This was a total team loss...Sampson hurt carrying twice killed us, Squirrel shouldnt have even dressed, Thornton got hurt too...and our defense had no answer for those 5* receivers. We were shown a talent gap we didnt know still exists. Need a couple more classes.

ANYONE calling for firing CJH etc is a complete freaking moron and should find something else to watch besides UT football because they do not, and will not, ever understand it

Time for some soul searching. Program is in such good shape overall. Last night stings and just shows us where we are in terms of the celeing, and how much is left to do to break through it.

No specifics, but change will come. Roster does need some work. Coaches really have to re revaluate things.

Wouldn't go so far as to say any coaches need to be fired. But really wondered why the offense looks soooooo much different than 2 years ago.

Acknowledged the o line was bad. Noted deficiencies at safety. Really complimentary of OSU wrs,d line....

Basically... We know where the ceiling is now.. What are we gonna do/be able to do to break thru. Also said that there will be guys that played last night that will go in to the portal,a coupler may already know where they're going but wanted to play this out with this team.

The players leaving is interesting. That concerns a little. Obviously, we wanted them to stay, some we didn't seem to care. It will be interesting to see the reason for them leaving.

 

[tnhunter 10]

I don't have time to listen, summary please, sir.

Need more talent. OSU has Downs at safety and we have what we have. This team will need to dig deep and soul search, figure out what's wrong with the offense. Expect players to transfer and some already know where they are going.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Oregon has Phil Knight Money
Texas has the Big Oil Money from Donors
Ohio State is all about College football.Big Donors money
Notre Dame has TOUCHDOWN Jesus. Money.

So basically we don’t have anything to match that

AP has alluded to more guys leaving.

That would require specific game planning to your teams talent. With its strengths and weaknesses. Why gameplan or alter things when you can hand ball up middle 25 times?

 

[Jackcrevol]

id say after this, yes. some will. I wouldnt be surprised if WR room gets decimated. OL too. Recruiting at both those areas, specifically are inexcusable. An absolute joke.

The longer we go with Heupel, the more I’m convinced he is our Mark Richt. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Loyal to his coaches to a fault. Good not great coach. Good not elite recruiter. Will always field a good team and be good, but will not hit that elite tier. Compared to where we’ve been, a lot of people will be ok with that.

When I post these, I don't necessarily agree. I post them for the humor.

That said....
