Maybe J. Smith isn't a complete retard

Pardon me for my naiveness, but what is a "Rusty Sanchez" ???TurdBuffer said:6 RPOs in first two drives, 2 Statue of Liberty Plays, 2 halfback passes, 5 underthrown "bombs," 3 knocked down passes, 17 horizontal routes, run or pass, 1 Cleveland Steamer and 2 Rusty Sanchezes, all resulting in 2 turnovers and 7 net yards.
And Smiff gets run over by the team plane on the Tarmack.
A combo of a Rusty Trombone and a Dirty Sanchez? Or is this a new move I'm unaware of? -

The persistent hard-on for "big plays" is the root cause of Smith's mediocrity. Run with conviction; throw short; avoid penalties; and concentrate on manufacturing and converting favorable down&distance situations. These are the things your players are good at, so just stick to them, and the "big plays" will come. Trust your playmakers to go get YAC on the edges; they don't need 40-yard downfield heaves.

Maybe not

I don't get the "Smith's mediocrity" thing. I agree that he gets too cute at times and shit the bed in the 2nd half against USC, but UW offense is #3 in PPG in college football, and a whopping .5 PPG from #1. No doubt, some play calls are head scratching, but the body of work suggests he's certainly not mediocre.TTJ said:The persistent hard-on for "big plays" is the root cause of Smith's mediocrity.

It doesn't count because he has Ross, Pettis, Gaskin, Coleman, and Browning.HuskyInAZ said:

Jesus. Big plays are good things. And the Huskies have been successful this season in both being incredibly efficient and explosive.TTJ said:The persistent hard-on for "big plays" is the root cause of Smith's mediocrity.

I don't think Smith is a very good playe caller overall, and I will celebrate when he is hired away, but this criticism reads like the Huskies go 3 and out all the time because they are constantly throwing deep. They don't and they aren't.
If Smith called games the way you are suggesting, there would be a huge uproar because the Huskies offense would score a lot less and would be both boring and predictable.
The USC game was a poor gameplan, executed poorly. But the rest of the season, I can't fault the mix of calls that much. -

If you don't think UW throws deep too much and goes 3&out too much, you haven't been paying attention.
Against outmatched opponents, Smith could literally draw plays out of a hat, and most will work. UW's offense has really only been tested by two good defenses all year: Utah and USC. And there really isn't any debate that the offense earned low grades against both. They'll face a third good defense tonight; more of the same could get them beat.
Bottom line: UW has better players than CU. "Boring and predictable" will beat them. In fact, it will beat anyone in the country, excepting Bammer. -
