I said prior the press coverage/jam took him out of the play (and it did) but watching it again I don't know if he actually ran the right play. We intentionally isolated him up top with single coverage. I'm pretty sure Shrader wants to loft one to the endzone because that's the motion his arm is in. The DB makes contact with Queeley but Queeley also seems to cut off his route at 3 yards and makes no effort to get to the endzone. (don't know if there's a safety in the endzone he's not in the camera.)

This was out of the timeout so Queeley had to know the play right? Or is this a read depending on the defense? We definitely wanted the isolation though because we motioned Cooper to the other side shifting their D alignment to the left. So I don't get it. If Queeley ran the right play and we're only throwing a 3 yard pass to the sideline on 3rd and 8 then it's a bad play call. If we're throwing to the end zone he starts too close to the sideline to run a post corner fade. So who can say what the play is supposed to be. From what I see on camera a slant there would've been perfect. (and by the way, 4 man rush with a LB blitzing straight up the middle and Tucker failed to make the block.)

On the flip side. The Wake OT touchdown is a beautifully designed play. Duce is 1v1 with press coverage about 2.5 yards off the LOS. Wake WR runs a perfectly timed rub route freeing him just enough to get open to the back of the endzone. I'm jelly of these well designed plays I see from other teams while our passing game is mired in mud.

Maybe we should look into a passing game coordinator to help with our design.

Agreed on Queeley. I mentioned in the game thread that it looked like he gave up on the play

If he gave up on the play that is a big concern. DB seems to favor the older players because they know the system. But if they are running the wrong routes or giving up on plays it’s time for a youth movement at wr.

the wake play is also one that 100 people on here have complained about . throwing the deep corner type fades.. i wish we used it more but we have been so bad at it i get it.

There's was perfectly run though. Go back and watch how they run it. Don't know if the Wake guy ad-libs but if he did he's a heck of a smart guy. The rub is against our own player. It's brilliant, it's field IQ on a different level.

Bet a more experienced Duce gets the INT next time.

I would take that bet. It was a great catch on a slightly underthrown ball. But a great example of throwing the ball up and letting the receiver make a play. Kind of like when shrader threw that one pass to Johnson and it bounced off his helmet.

even good corners get beat.
 
Those plays are all about having a reciever that you have confidence in to go get the ball. We had that in AET, Ishmael, and, to a lesser extent, Custis. Maybe Alford and Gadsden can be those guys but they're only freshman. I wonder how much that Canadian kid that decided to go home (I forget his name) would've helped us.
 
Receivers should be recruiting priority number one. This area needs a lot of upgrades.

I think it has been. We've brought in a bunch of them but just haven't been able to get the guys we wanted the most and haven't found a Tucker like diamond in the rough amongst the bunch.
