Eye-Opening Analysis
Film analysis is a slippery slope when done by people not involved with the actual call and when done by cherrypicking plays. I watch them all the time so I am not saying dont do it. It is just a “buyer beware” situation.
I did not watch this one because Blake Ruffino is a poisoned mind right now so anything he says needs to be digested with caution. Dont know about Koon.
The best one I saw lately on Nuss was by Aaron Murray. He really does not have a dog in the hunt so frustration is not a big factor. If anyone watches Murray’s film study and doesnt conclude Nuss is hurt and limited then I dont know what to tell you.

That's what I got from it too. And Murray is a former qb so he would know the correct way to throw a ball and which movements are involved.

I don't question whether he's hurt or limited. Does Murray expound on the decision making that has little or nothing to do with that issue. Like the critical pic against Ole Miss?

That pic was not critical. It was bad and took away a scoring opportunity, yes. Game critical, no.
As for commentary it is hard for anyone without info from the QB to say whether it was a bad decision or a bad throw. If he was throwing to ZT in the EZ it was a bad throw. If he targeted Brown… bad decision.
I am not defending Nuss. I thought based on what I saw MVB gave us a better chance. I was just pointing out how easy it is for commentary to lead to conclusions they want to make.
And while we are at it, I am not expecting a miracle cure this week for Nuss despite what BK said yesterday. Hope I am wrong.

Pumptards can't handle that. It shuts them down.

I really think Nuss was throwing to ZT, who was wide open 5 yards behind where the ball ended up...just like all of his deep balls this year. Dude is hurt!

That's what I saw on another video breakdown. It would have been on target to Zavion, but was underthrown like he didn't get enough power behind the throw.

Ruffino is hyper-emotional like a school girl. Hunt is very good at being analytical and taking emotion out. Carter does a good job breaking down film. Moscona leans more towards the positive. Hester and Flynn are pretty fair, but more on the sunshine side.
I usually watch all and that way I feel like I can get a decent picture with all of their varying opinions.

This is why I watch very little of him. I try and usually turn him off. Agree on all the others.

Not sure I agree there, he looked past two WIDE OPEN receivers to throw heavy coverage - he throws to one of the open receivers underneath we are in the red zone almost certainly - and even if we only get a field goal we take some time off the clock - give or defense much needed rest and avoid a momentum changing play - I'll say it again, it changed the complexion of the game IMHO.
quote:If Nuss is still significantly limited physically I would agree. The scheme we have IMHO is based on a QB being able to run which is curious when we have a QB who can't/won't.

Not sure why you think Blake "is a poisoned mind" right now.
Its pretty evident that Nuss is making awful decisions and while some maybe explained by an "injury" not all of them are.
And the reports coming out that Nuss took the summer off and wasnt using VR is rather concerning. And its not just one person reporting that

great interview, expressed the frustration that everyone is feeling. Lesismore is the perfect name for this poster. Who else could be his favorite coach of all time? - Kelly is frustrating us just like Les did. what's the problem, coach? no problem. we just need to execute. Coach, do you think we need to try something different, maybe change qb's? no, not at all. everything is good.
First time i've seen ruffino but he was excellent. and he still had some optimism for kelly to make some good decisions going forward that I don't share. I hope he's right.

Because every time I turn him on he wants everybody fired and players benched. Maybe it is just my timing with him.

…in the 2nd Qtr. Critical to me is lost the game. Definitely a turning point though.

I was also disappointed that our staff did not respond better to OM rushing 3 and dropping 8 all day. I guess that is where my opinion on MVB playing might have been better result.

It is a good tool to understand what the QB sees when he makes his decision.
The sloppy route running has been piss poor all season and it was made to look even worse when you combine how bad our route concepts and spacing has been. It also paints a better picture at what the offensive line is doing.
It does get complicated in certain aspects when we don't know how its being taught or who has what responsibility but its a good tool to get a better understanding of what is happening as a whole on any given play.

I watched the video in the OP and it was a bunch of nothing. I’ve never seen Blake Ruffino before, and based on that, I won’t ever watch him again. It’s not that I didn’t like his take; it’s just that he was all histrionics and no substance.

Keeping our D off the field after that long 18 play drive would have been huge too. then we proceed to penalize ourselves into another long sustained drive after that pic that had a lasting affect on our defense IMHO. I absolutely think that play was a game changer.
