re: Why can't we simplify our pass offense to help our young QB's?

Do you think we do a good job of creating favorable matchups? I don't know if we do...

I don't think we've given our RBs a shot in hell to be successful this year. I'm not a fan of how we allocate carries, and I think we do a poor job of getting these guys into space. We have issues on the interior of the line, but it seems like we run right into the teeth of the defense more often than not.

I think we create favorable matchups in the passing game. I really like our WR talent and am confident that all four guys (Dural, Diarse, Dupre and Quinn) can get open and make plays. If you rewatch the games you'll see guys open in every game, but Jennings can't find them. As far as I'm concerned, our WRs have an advantage over every team's DBs on our schedule. We just have to get the ball to the open guy.

I think running more shotgun with three wide helps us tremendously. It gives Jennings/Harris more time to process the defense and make a decision. I'd like to see whoever the QB is focus on the intermediate routes instead of trying to bomb it 40 yards. We need to establish a rhythm and build confidence between our QB and WRs.

Watching A&M operate on offense is a thing of beauty. I like that we run the ball more than pass, but I'd like that gap to close so we can be more balanced. A&M does a great job of putting Hill in the shotgun and getting the ball out of his hands quickly. A&M's biggest advantage is their WR talent, but their WRs aren't better than ours. They just get the ball to them in space.
