The route tree on 3rd down

LSU, audible?!?! Are you high????

The routes are too slow on most plays. 3rd and 5 and it's 4-5 second routes.

No hot routes at all. One of those times I'd have been cool taking a timeout but they just caved right into the blitz. Etling misses that RB check down all the time.

I watched a lot of replays last night where a blitz was coming or it was 3rd down and all our receivers have their backs to the QB. Etling can't make a play anyway but we need to teach these kids a hot route or something. They already struggle gettzing separation. We either have no intermediate passing routes or Etling fails too see any of them. I know some is Etling but some of it is also the route tree.

Ask the WR Coach what a "Route Tree" is and he'd probably look at you with a puzzled look on his face.

Seriously, you can clearly see there is no technical coaching going on at that position. Get somebody in here that can teach these kids the finer aspects of running routes and how to catch a football.

Don't need a "Great Recruiter" at this position that can't develop the athletes that are critical to this Offense.

I think O and Canada already see this and will make the change after the season............

I think another issue is the QB is more concerned with timing the sweep properly than focusing on what the defense is doing in front of him pre snap. Just my opinion.

How bout just calling a screen pass.

I would love Adam Henry back..
he was a great teacher and recruiter
