Ensminger called a good game

need to utilize size with FADES AND SEAMS AND BACK SHOULDERS

IF E WILL DO THAT it will help greatly

need more hitches and circle routes also. coulda used those on two point play..plenty more we could add to make us that much tougher to defend

two point conversion was bad playcall. no low reads all high. an out or RB direct snap woulda been better or a hitch or RB circle route over middle which was open. need to have guys at all levels. ev eryone was too deep in EZ

Qb keep on 3rd down was bad call. great 4th down tho

Our route schemes are mind-boggling bad

I loved that we threw vertically when we got 1 on 1's. Wasn't perfect, but was definitely an improvement.

The only call I was really frustrated was with the QB designed runs.

He used the middle of the field more than we ever did under Miles.

eh, my theory (theory only) is that it was a way to keep the LBs and S's attention in places other than 7yd back in the middle of the field.

Haven't done it yet- but as soon as the excitement wears off I want to look at drive charts and see if after every (or most) runs there was a pass between the hashes.

Three complaints with coach E. #1. Play calling conservative when in a lead. #2. The defense was giving you short to medium keep taken what the defense gives you. Change up your running formations. there are two formation that runs you know it’s a run every time and aurburn knew who was getting it and which hole was running in.

no matter how improved our OL was today,

Only question I have is does he have anything left going forward or did we empty the clip to get this win?

He doesn't have to have any more up his sleeve, no OC does.

It's a matter of timing- calling the same plays as you've practiced, at the right time... to attack the right thing.

The trick isn't inventing new stuff, it's each and every week identifying what/who to attack. And then changing it. No plan survives first contact.

Do I have worries that he lacks the ability to do that and instead lurches into a Milesesque of "this worked last time, it will work again"? Yes.

I agree, it was a good offensive game plan and most of the calls were good.

I didn't mind some of the runs with Burrow - the only one that was really bad was the second one in a row on the final drive.

Couple of those runs were actually great calls and could've been 10+ yard gains if it was wasn't for a whiffed block. The blocking matchups were there. But also some were shite calls.
