Yeah, if you call what Odell Beckham has done in the first few games "proper execution" then I don't know what to tell you.
You can coach a kid all you want, but if he doesn't shine, at some point, it's not the coaching. It's the player. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
How Beckham is the #1 WR at this point is beyond me.

If this were high school level or below, I might agree with you. At this level, it's all on the player.

On which point?
Are you telling me that players don't develop or expand their knowledge of the game while in college?

Didn't read the whole thread before posting this... so if someone beat me to it I'll delete...
You people do realize changing offense mid season is something that NEVER occurs... for any team past the highschool level?
What do you want them to do play calling wise? How do the coaches know which play is goign to be executed correctly? I saw a bunch of great calls against Florida this past weekend... but even when the plays worked... fumble or penalty. What about that can the coaches control by changing the offense?

Specifically points 1, 2, 5, and 8. Catching the ball and ball security are not coached at the college level, they are practiced if that makes sense. I doubt OBJ needs to be told to not swing the ball around when being tackled or to hold on to it when it hits him in the hands. #5 is basic. Just pay attention to where you are on the field. There are very few variable here as compared to running detailed offensive plays. And as for #8, learning when to motion and when, as a WR, you should be on the LOS or off, it totally on the player paying attention to the play call or learning the play book. All this is a result of a player's in-game focus, which can't be coached.
