I know it's preseason but is anyone baffled why our esteemed OC let a whole quarter expire before lining our best running back up in the backfield?

I mean I know CMC is a great receiver out of the backfield but you take away that strength by lining him out wide, they should be trying to isolate him against linebackers and safeties in open space. Not running routes on the outside against cornerbacks. 

Anyways McCaffery is too good and too important to this offense be only getting his first rushing carry in the 2nd quarter. Not a great called game by Shula.

Why didn't Shula just keep our starters in the whole game when we were obviously behind by 17 points?

Maybe because, uh, it's preseason.

But I thought we were about winning every game. We should of had Cam and Luke start and maybe we would have won.

What does Shula not letting Mccaffery carry the ball into the 2nd quarter have to do with the starters playing the whole game? Why don't you look at some more film and come back and tell us how much you think KB sucks and Russell Shepard is destined to make the probowl.

This thread, other than the on-point sarcasm makes little sense.

It's preseason. Shula is trying to get certain players in on certain play calls, not game-planning for a regular game. Yeah "winning" is nice. Moral victories can mean something, I guess, but preseason is more about the evaluation of execution by personnel.

Now mind you, it still makes little sense to call a play that is essentially destined for failure because you really don't accomplish anything other than seeing your guy get tackled, but the OC is still not following a plan, he's just trying to see how a player executes on a certain play (likely based on strengths and/or weaknesses that he's observed throughout camp and the preseason practices.

I understand there is no game planning, I just thought the ideal of lining CMC out wide was just not sound strategy and I hope they weren't practicing it to use it when the games really count because it didn't look effective, as opposed to Tennessee offensive scheme  despite it being preseason looked effective.  So I made a thread about it, if it got you guys all in a bunch you can delete it geez.

Um, CMC lining out wide isn't a sound strategy?

Since I'm writing on this very topic, I'll show you how exactly CMC lining out wide is very effective.

CMC lining out wide basically frees up the slot. There's more space for the slot receiver to work with and allows him to go one on one against the corner inside. As seen above, KB beats his man on the line and takes advantage of the matchup for a good gain.

So yes, lining up CMC wide IS a very sound strategy.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By SCO96 · Posted

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Clowney released

      By Waldo · Posted

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
