He needs to go. We have a fast car driven by a slow driver !

Receivers gotta catch balls too, offense definitely a bit lackluster so far this early season.

At least spell his name right.

That said, I can't really tell what he's trying to do.... what our offensive scheme or identity is supposed to be. I think what I'd do is take the wraps off of our passing game, run more of an Air Raid (calling it the "NFL Air Raid" to keep JKS happy). Then, using our lethal passing game to set up the run, I'd unleash Muhammed.

The offense is so bad. Blame the WR's, blame Jaron, blame whoever. However, the blame should be put on the OC. Just look at Harsin last year. It makes me miss him

Dude's 30 years old, never held an OC position, and is in way over his league. He's underproducing relative to his personnel. Harsin overproduced relative to his personnel.

We don't have the luxury of him to figure **** out.

Let someone who's done it before do it (Rolo).

There's so many inexcusable things. Not only the insufferable overarching playcalling over the past two games, but specific examples like the the gross mismanagement of the clock and plays in the last minute of the first half of the syracuse game. Taking a delay of game penalty from the 30 to 25 yard line (no the punter does not need more space). Etc.

Just no creativity from Summerville. Harsin utilized jet sweeps, end arounds, fake WR screens, roll outs, double passes. The list goes on. Just go turn on the tape from the Louisville game; it's impressive to say the least.

We have so much talent on offense to be explosive. We haven't even utilized Quaron Adams.

In baseball, a pitcher establishes his fastball and tunnels his offspeed pitches off that fastball. After a few innings, the hitter cannot tell if the pitch is the nasty curveball or the fastball. It keeps them guessing.

There's not guessing for Summerville's offense. He never builds off his plays. A quick improvement would be to have a more unpredictable offense. For instance, he likes to call a lot of boundary screen plays. Maybe call a couple and then have a fake screen where the blockers fake like they're about to block and release upfield. There are many other options.

Let's go Summerville. Time is finite and you cannot be doing the same stuff week in and week out. Rolo's ready to call the plays if you are not.

Perhaps he's more of a QB whisperer and not a good playcaller. Would make sense with his background

Last week it was Hutchings too, but he dialed up a good aggressive defense thst really disrupted their QB today. These guys are young and inexperienced but they are smart and they are learning.

We have two weeks including a scrimmage against Wagner to get ready for Clemson at Memorial. That will be the tesr.

I really liked Muhammad in the pistol to give him a head of steam. Need a lot more of that. The toss to Muhammad off tackle was great, as well as the crossing patern for a TD off play action in the red zone. Play action with Sagapolutele rolling left for the easy TD toss was great too. I also like that we went tempo when we started getting chunk plays with Muhammad, he deserved a break, but we should gave kept him in the game to fake to him because they were keying on him and then throw deep (to Mini). They burned us with fake on the jet sweep. Id like to us add a jet sweep to diversify our running game and open up things for Muhammad inside (out of the pistol).

Do they run the pistol formation in the NFL? Is this even in Summerville's playbook?

We are going to run Muhammed to the ground this season and make him carry the load for 25 carries a game.

That might have been a Rolovich contribution. He was once OC for Ault at Nevada.

I'd like to see a jet sweep added to diversify our run game, stretch the defense and lighten Muhammad's load. Plus get a speedy player on the field. I would pretty much eliminate the RPO formation with Muhammad standing next to Sagapolete.

I thought the play calling by Jordan was much improved from last week, but the execution was just not quite there.

Not quite sure what it is but these guys are new... Let's give Jordan a chance guys.

Hutchings and our D basically saved the day, and while they still have a ways to improve, you can tell we got some major talent and potential there. If D keeps improving we're gonna have an amazing defense by the end of the year.

Let's hope for a big step jump in offense - just like our D - in the coming weeks and especially against Clemson.

We really just don't have the QB for rpo. Rpo basically tells your oline to never pass block...only run block. That means by design you aren't giving your QB time to throw the ball downfield, instead relying on the quick pass (or a mobile QB to get away from pressure). That is just not the right fit for our QB...

Further, because the pass is an option it also eliminates how aggressively the line can block downfield...which means your rb isn't going to get more than 3 yards of downfield blocking.

I get what it is trying to do...and with the right personnel and the right read by the QB it can help with numbers games in the box...but even that doesn't seem to be working for us.

I would much rather see our staple be running aggressively and passing off play action. Bring back the RPO when we have a mobile QB that can pick up yards with his legs if they commit to the pass and the quick one is covered. That at least forces defenders to stay in their lane when they see the QB held onto the ball.

The last 2:20 of the UCLA game was equally pathetic. Offense standing around pre-huddle with zero sense of urgency.

Just inexcusable at this level.

I wonder how long before Rolo gets inserted.
We don't have the luxury of Somerville figuring this all out on the job.

I liked what I've seen from our transfer receivers so far. People criticizing Strong and Hendricks got a really quick reminder of what REAL mediocre play is at the position with Kyion Grayes and Jordan King's near game breaking drops/lack of effort on dimes (love Jordan King but he's just not at that level). Strong and Hendricks had a few eyebrow raising drops but also people forget the really tough catches they've repeatedly made.

Chase Hendricks is no Malachi Toney but he's fast enough, shifty, has good hands, and is solid at running routes. Ian Strong is no Cam Coleman but he's our only guy who has broken deep and caught the ball there and contested which is what we got him for. I do think both and Adam Mo and JKS are being limited by this playcalling. Let them play freer, no point to prepare too heavily for the NFL if we can't GET them to the NFL.

With the talent I'm seeing there's no way Mohammed can't get better lanes or our two top receivers better separation

Loved this play, set up with the playaction to Muhammad.

Rolovich probably is next in line if necessary

reality is when plays are executed successfully the OC looks smart, no execution not so smart

A common misconception about the RPO is that it usually entails the quarterback deciding whether he should run (himself) or pass. Tony Franklin was one of the initiators of the RPO and it was quite common for the run to be by a running back. The QB would make the decision either pre-snap or sometimes even post-snap, depending on what he saw from the defense.

Most every running or passing play had a "tag" on it that would specify an option to do something different. As defensive coordinators would catch on, from week to week, they would just change the tag. Simple.
