The legend of Elmore.
Benson had 19 catches and 3 TD's in his time here versus Mang who has 1 catch and Hoeh who has none I'd say that's a much better receiving threat. Do you even watch Mang or Hoeh miss blocks and get our QB killed ? Pretty easy to understand they both shouldn't even be on the field and Benson and Morris would be major upgrades.
What do you mean? Just run the same plays they ran in the first half. It was workin. Lol
What do their previous stats have to do with this year and how they can help this current team? I played TE in college. You need to be able to block too or it kills your offense. Those two never dominated in pass game. It’s cool to be a fan of them. I wish them both the best but I don’t see how they make this team 7-0 instead of. 6-1.
Actually agree here. I think Elmore has shown great blitz pickup over the years but Tucker did all of his running without Elmore. The biggest impact to our running game this year seems like the loss of Servais at center with better Guard push last year (different blocking schemes from what Schmidt did last year?) and coach Anae with a more passing centric approach.
If you seriously think Mang or Hoeh can block I can't help you. They can't and shouldn't be on the field. You said Benson wouldn't be an upgrade over either. The facts state otherwise. Dominating the pass game ? Mang who as one career catch for 12 yards and Hoeh who has none = Inferior.
Seems you have zero understanding of personnel groupings and how they fit into how the offense runs. I didn’t say anything about them being the greatest blockers. I asked you what TE’s on the roster are better. So again. Who can the staff put in that is better, that allows them to run their offense the way they want?
So... great that Shrader said that and all, and I agree it would be great to have someone "step up," but we're also not spreading the ball around very well.
This is fair. Would also love too see a package for Adams to get on the field to maybe to take a deep shot.
Yeah, look at the box scores, we were sprinkling targets around better in the season, then Gadsden emerged.
That's what's interesting to me. When Wilson came in for Shrader when he lost his helmet a couple times early in the year they didn't hesitate to call pass plays for him. They clearly trust him. That's why I don't think they're the type to not trust a guy simply because he's young or new. For whatever reason they don't trust the backup RBs, which is weird because it's not as demanding as QB.
I don't want Shrader trying to get through too many progressions. He already has the tendency to hang on to the ball, we only have one good target to throw to, and it's not worth losing his scrambling by asking him to do too much in the pocket
He provides the same things Elmore did. He adds another gap to the run game. Which allows them to run some of their gap concepts and zone reads. The extra gaps manipulates the front alignment and line backers. Is Hoeh as good as Elmore? No, but who else do they put in for that position? He obviously impressed the staff more than others did. He's a young kid. He will make mistakes and he will develop. He's a hard worker from what I hear.
I was thinking about this issue, and why he doesn't trust the other receivers as much. Early in the season we were spreading it around much more. I think we need better WR's, who instill trust.
At least in the games, I don't think the receivers did anything to give the impression they can't be trusted. Maybe they suck in practice?
The thing is we did run block successfully in the first half but we went away from it for some reason in the 2nd half that I will never understand
Thanks for that clarification.
