I could be wrong, but I don't remember seeing both RB in front of him, only Powel. Doesn't really matter, like I said he is no real threat we need to hand the ball off. I am not going to bash on the coaches too much we did get the win! Now that's all that matters.
This is contradicting someone is wrong, just saying...
I don't hate him, I just don't like his play calling and wish him the best at a MWC school after the year when he receives the Baer treatment. Defend in season, let him go after the season.
I have questioned the play calling and execution. That is what has kept CU from getting wins. If that idiot REC doesn't have a PI and we give up a TD that series and lose by 3, the warm fuzzy feeling is not the same. We aren't the most talented defense, so we need to get up by two scores to give them some breathing room. That is key to getting victories in the Pac 12. We have one in the last 15 games. Will take some cajones to get a win in the last 5 games, not the status quo.
Buffnik and S2S are correct in that, with 2 RBs and Sefo back there, the 2 RBs are the blockers. I was referring to when they've ran the QB off tackle with just CP leading. Both sentiments are right, but they are different situations and personnel packages.
Sorry Nik. People calling a grind it out victory are crazy BTW. You aren't going to win against an offense that can score on any play by only putting up 20 points. Need to eat clock, while putting points on the board. A 38-30 win can be done doing that. ASU-UCLA game is a good case in point. ASU got up big and UCLA has the horses to fight back. Must avoid a deficit of more than 10 points, but also must not be content being up by 3-7 points with the ball in the second half. Get that two score lead and force UCLA to alter play calling.
I find it very laughable that the entire buffzone chat today centered around Lindgren's play calling being atrocious, yet I get lit up for questioning it.
dude, you were leading that charge. Creating your own news cycle. We have higher standards than Buffzone here. I don't think the "FIRE LINDGREN RAA" crowd did themselves any favors with their questions. Seemed like kids who didn't like the answers they got. You can't just say, Ok the OL is bad, but THAT DOESN'T MATTER because RAGE.
For me, I don't think Mac or JL have the chops on offense. This dink and dunk, eat the clock type offense may work in other conferences, but IMO in the PAC12 we need to be averaging 40 pts a game...and I don't see that happening with this philosophy on O. Maybe they are using it to keep the D off the field, IDK, I just think it's really ineffective in our conference.
The OL gets all the blame in your replies. I have included them in fault. You do little fact presenting or finding. I have presented endless facts. Let's continue to look at 14 straight losses, until OSU, and the offense going completely quiet for stretches.
To which players are you referring?
I guess to me I see opening it up and actually putting some points on the board is more important and that would help the D..I'd rather go 3 and out stretching the field than doing the same thing running between the tackles. We've shown some explosiveness but continue to run this crappy O. I don't have any answers and they certainly have more info and expertise than me, I just think it's not working so why not try something different. >shoulder shrug<
Please actually show what facts I am misrepresenting or just stick to playing name calling cop and banning people.
I'll buy that for a dollar. I think the criticism about the dink and dunk philosophy transcends the week to week stuff, but could be wrong.
I'm kinda dense...what conclusion do you draw?
You are like talking to a wall. You are dense. Again, with you, using the term misrepresenting in another form. We have lost OL repeatedly at different times this season. The problem is the plays called though. Not the personnel. I pointed these out. Repeatedly OSU put 8 in the box with man coverage and dared CU for a quick slant for 5-7. We refused. On the 3rd and 1 and 3rd and 4, OSU knew they were runs, play action or quick pass solves that. I understand, you are part of the crowd that says but look at everything but the overriding problem. We had a problem putting away games last year and making key boneheaded turnovers. This year we struggle putting teams away because we bunker down instead of calling something that may just put the game away. Spruce is playing a reserve DB that was a WR earlier in the year, let's quit throwing it his way! We need a yard, let's run a slow developing sweep when we have a 6'-4", 240 lb QB. Lindgren has been a problem this year and in the past from his 3rd and long play calls being screens, draws, runs and anything but downfield and that long is from 7 yards to 15 yards, not just 3rd and 15 or longer. Need to grow some nuts play calling wise the next 5 weeks or we are going to be out of the game come the 4th quarter in EVERY game.
