What is he suppose to do about nuss’s idiotic red zone interceptions? What is Sloan suppose to do about nuss missing a wide open rb in the flat to start the game that would’ve tied the game 7-7 and instead opting for a contested throw to lacy? What is Sloan suppose to do about nuss goin for a 20 yard chunk play instead of hitting a wide open Taylor in the 3rd? What is Sloan suppose to do about Nuss being a statue and spinning himself into pressure?

Yes Sloan needs to draw up better run play schemes that is apparent but he has a turnover prone statue qb who is easy to fool

Yep. Continues to try for the big play especially on 3rd down when you simply need to convert and control the ball.

Sloan’s play calling sequence leaves a lot to be desired, but he’s handcuffed by the fact that we have zero ability to run the football. Teams are stopping the run with a 5 man box and dropping everyone else into coverage. No one is open because of it. This teams problems offensively all start here.

It's not apparent to him obviously. Also, he continues to take Durham out after big runs and runs into a brick wall with Williams like he did last night on our first drive.

The plays we have called coming out of timeouts really stand out as laughable. And yes, I know Nuss limits him, but good God, help your guys out some with an imaginative play calls when you have more time to think coming out of a timeout (which we do a lot with how many times Nuss burns timeouts).

I think our terrible offensive line limits him way more than Nuss. If you had any threat of a running game, it would open up Nuss as a passer.

How is the lack of a run game not on Sloan? We have 2 first RD OTs and 2 SR OGs. There is no excuse for not being able to run effectively.

It's almost like fans realize Sloan has been Garrett's QB coach for 3 years and is currently the OC.

Anything and everything with Nuss development is on Sloan

So our horrible offensive line is not any excuse? They were horrible last year too. The only reason we didn’t see it was bc we had JD who could create his own run game.

Do you realize how predictable Sloan is?

There other teams watch tape

Sloan never has the other team off balance. He doesn't dictate to them. He had 2 good drives last night. That's it

Lacy also dropped a TD pass, I guess that's on Nuss also.

The WR talent on this team is way below what we need to run a pass first offense.

Yeah it's like a broken record with that bum Nuss. On 3rd and short he'll throw 20yds downfield into double coverage off his back foot instead of checking down to an open RB or Taylor in the flat. He struggled against USC, Ole Miss, USCe, and A&M before tonight. He lucked out against Carolina a penalty negated that pick 6 that he threw late in the game. If Kelly had any balls he should start incorporating Collins into games because Nuss is not "IT".

Right now Garrett Nussmeier is a bad QB. No other way to see it. Why continue to play him after the last two games?

That too, but Nuss makes some really awful decisions even when he has time to throw.

Sloan’s red zone and situational playcalling sucks

Is he the OL coach? I put more of that on Brad Davis for how he’s instructing that group. Obviously there’s a disconnect between the teaching and the execution.

Again, when you realize these things, something is off for them not to be better in the run game.

Nuss is just mentally done. He’s been asked to do too much this year. But who are you going to put in? Swann? Collins? Hurley? There’s a reason Nuss is our starter. It’s bc he gives us the best option to win.

But why is it underperforming? It's not talent. Is it Brad Davis, Sloan's scheme or Kelly?

I liked he incorporated the stretch hand off but then went back to the stupid inside running play with Williams no less. What would help Nuss tremendously would be play action plays. Those stretch hand offs are perfect set ups for that.

He runs zone reads with a QB that doesn’t pull. That’s 100% on Sloan for not building around his QB
