We have to not hide Danny Etling

No we haven't that offense last night was vanilla as f***

They are not hiding Etling. They are trying to keep him alive by hiding the OL.

I agree. In addition, our receivers don't get separation and when they do "E" doesn't see them. He seems to zero in his primary receiver and if he is covered he either doesn't see the rest of the field and doesn't have the elusiveness to buy time to connect.

WTF?

Darrius Guise had 10...TEN carries in the first half and you say we're hiding Etling


My God we have some morons in this fanbase

Etling is scared to throw an INT.

They were pulling the safeties up in run support for most of the first three quarters. I really don't understand why we did take some shots with the play action bomb. Instead we did the same thing as when Les was here and run into the teeth of the defense.

If they don't trust Etling to throw the ball, we should throw in the towel and start grooming Brennan for next year. If they do trust Etling, they need to balance out the offense and mix things up.

Not true. You hide a bad o-line with screens and quick passes. You can't hide an o-line on obvious passing downs, with a 7 step drop.

So you are telling me that they were not trying to hide the OL by staying in max protect the entire first half and trying to help them with multiple TEs and backs? There was a reason there were only two WRs on the field most of the time.

I'm absolutely tired of the play action bombs design some plays out the shotgun and let the receivers try to win that's the only way they will get better

I'm saying that the proper way to protect a weak offensive line is shotgun, with short passes and screens. Who knows what the coaches were thinking or if they were thinking? We only passed on obvious passing downs with 5 to 7 step drops, until the game was out of hand. The play calling suggested that they had full confidence in the protection that was assigned.
