Vorel Bringing the Heat

I still think the scheme is holding them back. An offense designed to shift and identify what the D is giving you is garbage in this day and at this level. We have the horses to be more aggressive. We don’t have the conviction to pound the rock consistently and open up the passing game. We underutilize the TE position to open up the field. Herm Edwards would absolutely destroy the Dawgs this year. He would run the ball down out throat the whole game, and he’d run zone D challenging us to run the ball to beat him.
I have no sympathy for Pete. His process for developing his players is awesome. He’s paid huge money. Over a 162 game season, he’d probably win out. In a small sample like a football season, you have to sell out every game. There’s only 12 games. Every game matters. I do not think he still has that sense of urgency. -
This all reminds me of last year when we were clamoring for Haener all season long. Pete finally put him in when the stakes mattered. We all know what happened next.RoadDawg55 said:You play stars all the time. While I know Fuller is our best WR, he’s not a star. Baccellia is a mediocre at best WR and it’s baffling he has a stranglehold on one of the WR spots. Nobody outside of Fuller and Baccellia has even got a chance to show if they can do anything.
Get the younger guys some reps in games. We rotate a lot on defense, why not on offense? The might even become more “detailed” and practice better if they felt involved.
I don’t know, it all seems strange. At this point it feels like Pete is doubling down. You know he hates being questioned by dumbass fans and the media, but it comes with the territory.
Another part of me feels like the back up WR’s aren’t any good and that’s why they don’t play. We make fun of Pete and how much he loves practice, but they really do see these players every day. I have a hard time believing a good player would be kept off the field.
Pete deserves to be questioned. He’s talked a lot about improving the offense, but it hasn’t improved. The WR’s have not played well for the third year in a row.
What's worrisome is that Pete's personnel choices have rarely been wrong in the past. It might be entirely possible that everyone behind Fuller and Opera really are that bad. In which case we have a much bigger issue with the offense and WR development. With as much young talent as we have, and as relatively easy as it is for young WRs to get on the field early in their careers in the college game, there's no excuse for not a single one of these guys emerging as a play maker. -
I love this guy. He’s a pipe hitting nega dawg.

I'm sure Vorel would want to keep reading HCH in stealth mode. Can't see him poasting here. Wouldn't be good for his brand.FirePete said:

“Obviously we’re looking to give those guys an opportunity,” offensive coordinator Bush Hamdan said of the young receivers.
no, bush, you're not looking to give 'those guys' an opportunity.
you play them for a meaningful number of plays or you don't.
no 'try,' only 'do.' -
It would be stupid for him to do so. But there's no doubt he's on here daily. We're a true barometer for him.PurpleBaze said:

We’ll really know next year when the incoming freshman WR’s are enrolled. My guess is the guys we are clamoring to get in (Osborne and Spiker) get passed up and all of this starts to make a little more sense.GreenRiverGatorz said:

Side note, after seeing how soft our WR’s are, I’m getting more excited for Raccanelli. Underrated recruit. I doubt he will be soft and will add something we need.
