    The red zone empty sets were especially special. Then throwing horizontal was even specialer.

    Although I like being aggressive there with a step on your throat mentality, as others have said, don’t call THAT gimmicky play.

    What’s almost more egregious is that teams now know when Bynum and Puka are on the field, we’re either running it or throwing screen. That’s right, we’re using two 4-star dudes as decoys in the running game.

    Shoot me.

    But hey, we won!

    The biggest thing was that stupid trick play. You just stopped them, have good field position, and need to waste clock. The game is essentially over and you give them hope by trying some stupid high risk bullshit to show off. Made no sense.

    Right before that I was thinking another TD and then a stop and we’re seeing the young pups getting in.
    This.

    I don’t think Pete wants to get the young pups on offense in the game for meaningful reps. I realize this seems incredulous, but he’s so stubborn about his process that he subconsciously creates these FS moments to keep the game closer than it should be.

    It’s not aggressive. You want to be aggressive, hit Hunter Bryant on a post or go deep to Puka.

    Given the talent available, it’s gay.

    100% ........I can't believe the tell they give opposing defenses with the personal packages. It's unbelievable. Drives me crazy. But hey, fans are stupid coaches are smart.

    The fact that Pete thinks his stupid trick plays mean he is being aggressive is all of the info you need to understand that he will never stop doing them.

    He doesn't understand that it is actually a sign of weakness and an admission of your own weak mindedness. Refusing to use your best players and the areas you dominate in key moments is not an exhibition of strength.

    The same goes for the colossal playbook and the constant formation changes. The former keeps talent off the field and the latter confuses the offense as often as it breaks big plays.

    If you look at this in total, you can't help but come to the conclusion that he doesn't trust the players to make plays and only trusts his supposed schematic and playcalling abilities. This is the opposite to how Lake approaches things. He also uses formation changes, but in support of the talent, not in
    place of it.

    He is a really good coach and I am happy to have him. But he is his own ceiling. I think we will get better because our talent is increasing. But I think there will always be some head scratching play calling and personnel decisions simply because he won't change the mind set he had at boise st when he couldn't out talent people. What was a strength there is actually holding us back from being elite.

    He had the more talented team at Boise in like 90% of his games. A couple of them had a a lot of NFL players.
