Brock on the benching of Browning.

Haener not prepared for that moment. If you make the switch make it for the rest of the game. If Pete wanted to change things up, take over the play-calling duties and get your most explosive player involved in the game and create space for Ahmed.

I don't think everyone wanted Haener now. I think the Haener calls had more to do with Jake backpedaling 20 yards or making throws while being pressured to the other opponent. This staff told Jake no more going backward. Jake stopped that BS.

I would have had no issue seeing Haener come in after Jake's sideline pick. 7-6, two minutes left in the third on the 11 yard line? Come on man. Haener frankly could have easily settled down and won the game. Though, obviously we will never know.

Clearly, there is a problem between Jake/Pete/ Hamdan. It blew on Saturday. Pete said Haener had been practicing well. They wanted to give him a shot at some point. Haener looked real nervous.

Brock, mentioned doing the ASU broadcast and meeting with the coaches and the coaches confirmed they didn't know who they were offensively. Are we an RPO, team, are we a two tight end team, are we a runnning team? We don't really know.

This is what I dont get, how can they not possibly know by now? Its the same fucking coaches with the same QB and RB... This isnt some massive rebuild with a ton of turn over or a year with all new players... they have known the starters for 18+ months.

QB- can't anticipate a route open, has a weak arm, will make at least one horrible decision a game (usually against zone defense)... He is above average at scrambling forward (about it)

RB - great group; gaskin, ahmed, mcgrew, pleasant can all do pretty much whatever you want them to do

TE - Good blockers, decent pass catching, good athleticism.

OL - Plenty good for Pac 12 play, Can run to both sides of the line, plenty big.

WR - won't break away from coverage, JAG athleticism, will do a bunch of little things like blocking, can make some great catches but dont focus gameplan around.

This team's talent screams power run, multiple TE sets, plenty of play action, with short timing crossing/drags/outs/slants... When the defense creeps up, seem to TE or WR deep. The offense with browning was always going to be limited vertically, they knew this the second he stepped on campus.

If they want to stay motion offense orientated or keep things cutsey they can focus the TE blocking scheme on either cracking down on the DE out of pre snap motion or getting to the second level LBs on every run play. Jet/Fly sweeps can stay in but use ahmed out of the slot to run them.

You can run the multiple TE power run out of the shotgun or from under center, tight or spread, based on the matchups with the other team if you want too also.

The entire offense runs better, including browning, when we move with just a little bit of tempo, it doesn't have to be 2012 oregon fast, just a little bit of urgency and building of momentum would be nice.

Why is this so hard? Let's not use the excuse that it could tire out the offense. The less thinking Jake has to do the better. This is proven, not just some theory. Jake has preformed better with tempo always.

Put some intern on cutting up tape from the last four years when Jake has been at his best. Its obvious.
