.....or not.
Clearly, a huge issue our offense has been playcalling. Blame whoever you want, but it's seems entirely too complicated and cute. A second issue our offense has is youth. You inbred fucks have scorched me over this one, but maybe, just maybe, a bit of data can help you see the light. I'm not holding my breath, though.
The following numbers represent the number of years of experience each P12 team had at the 5 OL positions + QB coming into this season, based on who started their last games.
ASU - 18
Oregon - 15
Stanford - 15
Cal - 14
Utah - 13
WSU - 12
Arizona - 12
USC - 12
OSU - 10
Colorado - 10
UCLA - 9
UW - 4
But I guess youth is just an excuse.....

The team is young and this is a fact, but the coaches are FS for not adjusting to that.
If you want to be lazy atleast post the number of seniors starting for UW for the past 10 years and the number of wins that year.
Either way it will be interesting
The script says, UW fires Smith at the end of this year (too late) for going 3-6 in conference play with a shitty offense, new offensive coordinator is hired, then we can all say, you cant expect to have a competent offense because he has to install his new system (2016), so 2017 will be special...
Or... you could just fucking watch the games and ask yourself how youth has anything to do with an offensive game plan that:
1) Forces the ball to Mickens
2) Doesnt use the senior, junior, RS FR, or sophomore TEs
3) Doesnt consistently run the football even after it works
4) Forces the QB to either throw it 50 yards down the field or 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage
5) Naked Bootleg!!
7) Marvin Hall is the deep threat
6) Lindy package
8) Pettis, Who??!!
I'd say more but HouHusky already nailed it.
The next youngest OL just pushed Arizona's shit in for days.
The oldest OL in the league SUCKS.
Shit post, shit poster.
That we have heard for years
That Petersen was hired to overcome
That he has exacerbated (look it up, rhymes with masturbated)
No one gives a fuck
Win or die
UCLA kicked the piss out of Zona
Oregon got slobber knocked
The ONLY scenario that fits your weak ass hypothesis is Washington. And I miss them dammit.
I recall back in 2000 - something ... a worn down and out Washington team hosted Cal and for some fucktarded reason known only to the coach's black ass and his God ... Washington ran the ball. Just fucking ran it. The big uglies pushed Cal around like they were rag dolls.
Who ever that asshole who writes Duck Fighter Illustrated is said something very profound (for once) ... when the road graters start grating ... you let them because they love it.
If you pay a kid to block and push people's shit ... and they are doing well with it ... why would you go away from it? Because you have a process and your process says you do X, Y, and Z ... not what is working.
That is Jonathan Smith's problem ... and it will be the next OC's problem. Because it is Peterman's problem.
He had a system that worked ... and he went 92-12 ... and so it is justified that is the way you do things ... but you have to have OKG's to do it.
Summed up ... we're fucked.
UCLA was young on offense in 2012 and 2013. Arizona was young last year. SC started 3 true Frosh on the OL last year.
I think those squads got more out of the year than Peterson has.
I don't think anybody is saying that Smith is doing a good job ... I'm not. I've been critical of the lack of identity from the offense (thoughts echoed by Kyle Benn). I've noted that even when Smith makes a solid play call, the execution isn't always matching (which often is tied to youth).
There isn't going to be a mid-season firing. Carry the pitchforks all that you want ... not happening. He wasn't getting fired last year as he was going to get a 2nd year to prove whether he had the answers or not. I agree a lot of pressure on Petersen on how he manages this situation at season end and into the offseason as his recent track record leaves a bit to be desired.
In this case, it has a little validity, but it doesn't make up for losing a winnable home game against a middle tier conference opponent. I cam see it in the Boise game a little though.
I still think this team will get it's shit together eventually. Take screenshots.
2) Facts don't support your claims here. Perkins is the 2nd leading receiver on the team behind Washington. Daniels has the 5th most receptions on the team.
3) No question that this is a massive indictment on SmithFS
4) Deep routes have been more the exception than the rule ... most passes to WRs and TEs have been quick slants and 7-10 yard stop routes
5) Naked bootleg worked great against Utah St because we established the run ... didn't work against Cal because we never tried to set up the run. Again, more of an indictment against Smith. It's actually a solid play call set to match with Browning's skills
6) Hall's fight on the deep balls are a joke ... should earn him some bench time ... indictment of Pease IMO
7) I understand trying to get Lindy into the game but that ship has more or less sailed ... there's a reason he only showed up for 1 play against Cal
8) Pettis has seemingly regressed this year (Pease again)
#infinitemonkeytheorem
Fire Smith ... it's Peterman's offense.
It's Peterman's system.
Just like Dick Rod has not replicated his success without White at QB ... Peterman has yet to replicate his success without Moore. Both are system guys who need system players to be successful.
If the young players are a problem now, most likely they will still be a problem years down the road.
But to think that he's firing Smith now is FS.
To think that he's going to change the offense midseason is FS.
And, going on the theory that this is Petersen's offense and it isn't Smith's fault, then the idea would be that Petersen doesn't have the answers and needs to look to others for solutions, any change that gets made at this point is FS anyway.
It's not hard to see positives in every part of the program but with the offense. Time has to play out to see what the outcome is in that regards.
Petersen needs to figure out what the right change(s) are here. He's doing a lot of good things in the program. The offensive problems have a chance to completely sabotage his tenure here.
I'll automatically hate the next hire too. Until he proves that he can win.
Fuck you. Fuck your excuses.
