this is my main issue with Vigin. He refuses to adapt his scheme until way too late in the game.Asmodeanreborn wrote: ↑Sun Nov 19, 2017 11:34 amThat would've been okay hadn't the game plan stayed that way even after we went down 13-0
Nick smith...
I think he did a great job. My only complaint is he wasn't offered the opportunity to throw the ball a bit more. I like that he didn't try to make a home run every time he threw. I wish Allen would slow down a bit - a 10 yard catch is better than a 40 yard miss.seattlecowboy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2017 9:01 pmSmith had thrown for a decent amount before the last two drives for the amount of opportunities he was given before that. Anytime he was given the chance to throw downfield he was fine.calpoke25 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2017 8:48 pm We didn’t lose because of Smith, our offensive issues run much deeper than him, that being said I wasn’t as impressed with him as others. How many of his yards came once we were down 2 touchdowns? Failing to convert the QB sneak was a big play and on him. The center and guard did their job. Allen converts that 10/10. Not getting a throw into the end zone on the final play was inexcusable. Just have to get it off and give your team a chance. I wouldn’t say he has better pocket presence than Allen, he simply stands there longer because he is unsure of where to go. Moreover he just doesn’t exude a lot of confidence out there to me. Does anyone remember 2015? We saw a 2015 offense out there with a worse running game.
We didn’t lose totally because of him, but he played a part. Fundamentally we are in year 4 a power running team, that can’t run the football. That is the ultimate issue. Allen covered some of this up with his playmaking ability but today we saw a worse version with the Allen bandaid off.
The problem was calling 5 yard outs and qb runs up the middle.
If Conway doesn't muff the punt of Vanmannen doesn't fumble right after Smith completes a pass to him for 10 yards we win.
Not sure what else Smith could have done to win the game based on what Vigen called.

If we don’t fumble on the 10 or muff the punt the game plan works as he was expected not to lose the game by asking him to do too much

Smith didn't play well today for sure. Receivers couldn't get open either and when they did they dropped passes.
Coaches need to recruit better players I guess. While Allen is a better qb than Smith by a mile and Allen is good on the run he sucks as a pocket passer and in Bohl's system if you don't have someone who can complete passes from the pocket on a consistent basis it this offense won't work. Hope they have or get a QB who can be more accurate from the pocket than what we have had. Also need to find some receivers who can get open. Overstreet did well running the ball.

He did. When he wasn't randomly pulled in favor of Woods and Woods' 3 yards a series.seattlecowboy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 25, 2017 6:25 pm Smith didn't play well today for sure. Receivers couldn't get open either and when they did they dropped passes.

Woods is not a good RB. He's just not
If that's the case we are in serious trouble. Can anybody say 5th year transfer.
