Through 2 games, can we all agree the playcalling is better?

I haven't really bitched as to why a certain play was run at a wrong time. Yesterday, down 14 in the 4th, we ran the ball to start the quarter and that is honestly the only time where i've been like why? Norv has definitely instilled confindence that it won't be a bone headed decision as to why we lost a game as opposed to other factors. More screens would be nice, but overall the passing isn't just 10 yard hitch or curl routes. Plus Armah gets involved.

Agreed. There really hasn't been a "WTF was that?" moment yet. Turnovers are down, delay of games are down, sacks are down (with a patchwork o-line), and Cam's completion % is WAY up. . That is Ron's perfect offense he wanted. Now, if Ron would just hold up his end of the bargain.....

I really liked the two plays where we sent Ian Thomas up the seams to clear the middle of the field for Jarius Wright and CMC. That's the play design we lacked. Offense will improve once we get some players back from injury and Norv finds the right balance with his personnel.

Considering we have such a patch work OLine, I love what I've seen. Some plays don't work, but they were also designed to have a starting caliber O Line giving time to develop. 

 

Personally, I'd like to see less of CMC as a primary receiver, and more of Moore and Samuel (when healthy) to utilize their speed and mismatches they create.

I agree.

Personnel substitutions, however?  Choosing starters?  Through 2 games, I have been puzzled by decisions in those areas A LOT.

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
