The Receivers Appear Lost

I know its talked to death about how bad our Receivers are, but I'm wondering what the hell is happening in practice.  Its one thing to not get separation, but they don't seem to know what routes their running.  Multiple times we had multiple receivers in the same area.  Hell, even the 2 point conversion had 2 receivers just standing right next to each other.  Lack of separation and speed is a skill thing, but not knowing routes is a coaching thing.

But Shawn Jefferson put on pads and hit stuff in the preseason. I don’t understand what’s going on.

Social media says they are all rockstars and we are a great team and treats the players like A-list celebrities and then the fanbase gets confused when they get their ass whipped.

It's the playcalling, the plays are changing every sec...

40 sec on play clock: Reich calls play

35 sec on play clock: Bryce to coach they know the play

30 sec on play clock: Reich calls another play

25 sec on play clock: Bryce to coach they just adjusted to that

20 sec on play clock: Reich huh

10 sec on play clock: Bryce coach what you want to run

5 sec on play clock: Reich go with what you think...

Thank god we finally wrestled social media control away from Rhule. I’m surprised Fitterer didn’t trade a 2nd round pick for it.

Yeah WRs are bad. 
 

The ghost of Adam Thielen is our best weapon apparently. 

I know they're bad, and Thats obviously a problem, but Im more concerned about the lack of coaching.  We had an extra day to prepare and had like 4-5 times tonight where receivers were in the same area.  If your recievers are bad (and ours are), we cant let 1 DB cover 2 receivers.

Might be a reach lol.... receivers run routes and catch!

Don’t the headsets get turned off when there is 15 seconds left on the clock?

Thank you, this is kinda what Im worried about.  Actually makes a lot of sense.  Bryce in the hurry up at the end looked better than at any point in the game but it would make sense since Reich and Young didnt have a chance to overthink the situation.

What receivers?

You mean those slow guys with no moves who are covered like blankets in the dead of winter? 

When you have those type of players you better put some sprinkles and icing on that vanilla offense you are throwing out there.

As I said, if you have slow receivers who cant get separation, the LAST thing we need is to have them in a position where 2 can be covered by a single DB.

Yeah I think it’s something like that. Somebody during the preseason (maybe Ellis? Maybe somebody else?) said that Reich calls multiple plays and then there are hand signals to Bryce on which one becomes primary, then he can check out of it if he sees something.

    • I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
