I know alot of Qb's call a timeout if they dont like what their seeing from the defense but it seems jake does it more than others. Is this because the coaching staff micromanages him too much or am i just off base here? I dont expect him to be able to read a D like peyton and make adjustments but man timeouts are too valuable to being throwing away. Especially when our coaching staff has a hard time managing them as it is! And just to add one more thought to this it seems we hit our best rythym on offense when we go no huddle.How many plays do u think we have for a no huddle offense and jake obviously has free reign to call the plays he wants in a hurry up offense right?

Jake keeps calling the timeouts because of poor clock management. Whether its getting the plays in, called or what who knows but he is calling the timeouts cause there is only 1 second left on the play clock and he is not ready to hike the ball - so instead of the 5yrd delay of game he calls the timeout.

With our system I think it is great that Jake can call a timeout if the play doesn't look good against their defensive lineup. I read somewhere that Jake only audibles to the run when things don't look good for certain passing plays. This is even more evident when you watch the game and see him yell out "ALERT ALERT!" and the play follows with a handoff. I've seen the occasional smoke route to the outside, which Jake might have the option to check to, unless it was the original play called in the huddle. Giving Jake more freedom at the line might just save us one of those timeouts in the long run, but with our clock management skills, timeouts really don't seem to matter.

    • If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.  
    • And what is x gunna help with except show him what not to do. Plus for the first year and a half he was just an obstacle 
    • I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
