re: The Fallacy of the Long Pass

You're giving the staff way too much credit.
It would be nice if there existed an ulterior motive, but it is more likely the result of inabilities.
If our offensive production consists of completing passes within 5-7 of the line of scrimmage (if that), Russell Shepard should be taking the snaps, period.
The play action to open the game was a vertical pass to a WIDE open Lafell. Incomplete. That set the tone for future coordination of the offense. We will struggle mightily against our better competition without a vertical passing game.
As others have pointed out, ball control is necessary for defensive purposes (i.e. Florida '07) and red zone scoring, which was a problem Saturday. I am damn sure the staff is aware of our problems. I'm just wondering if we possess the ability to overcome them with the present personnel.
Addressing your original post, I would say you are guilty of the same over-exaggeration of those you wish to condemn.

The error in all of these arguments so far is that the first two games somehow dictate the games to come. We have stretched the field enough to win so far, and we will continue to do so in the remainder of the season (hopefully). What we do or don't want to see out of our offense is irrelevant. It's the coaches/ coordinators job to win games. Period. Until they fail to do so (which yes, will happen at some point) sit back, relax, and CTFO!
ETA - Wait that would make the rant kind of boring. Never mind. Quibble among yourselves.

Nah. Exaggeration, perhaps. But over-exaggeration?Never!
