re: The difference in ‘play calling’ since the Troy game is amazing

Etling threw for over 200 yards last night.

It's not all about yards. 123 of that came from 2 plays.

It needs work but Etling threw for over 200 yards last night.

I really don't think y'all understand what a passing game is. It's like the first week when the QB at Mizzu threw for like 500 yards and 7 TDs. Sounds impressive, but when you look at the tape, most of his yards and touchdowns came on screen passes that went for 50,60, or more yards.

That is what Etling is right now. Short sideline passes where the yardage is completely based on what the pass catcher can do or how much space he has in front of him. Deep passes that are already 50/50 shots but made even worse because of drops or Etling just throwing too short.

He has a lot of problems in his game. Everybody loves his toughness, but that amounts to nothing as far as actual passing goes. We have what we have, an extremely limited game manager who will put his body on the line to make a play.

This in turn limits what Canada can do, and what the offense can become.
