Offensive play calling

UNT90 · October 5, 2013

Is terrible. Has been terrible for the last 2 years.

Don't complain about the play calling, complain about DT who keeps throwing it to the other team.

Maybe both?

We have become one dimensional due to our DOA running game, so placing blame on DT, who just brought us back for the tie, is a little uncalled for. Chico runs hot and cold for whatever reason.

To be fair.... that might have been his worst pass of the day.

Lmao!! Funny but probably true

Come on, we have no running game. Are we really gonna blame Derek?

We don't have a running game because no one respects DT so they stack everyone in the box. We have a terrible QB there's no sugar coating it.

Very true. We pass block but we don't run block. We had strong symptoms of that last year even though we got some yards, but this OL is just not powering anyone out of the way and creating lanes. Derek gets plenty of blame too. Disappointing.

I think they all share in this. No one any more than the other...

Plenty of blame to go around, starting with the BOR and AD.

Yes.

I blame the OC

And yes.

I was on my phone earlier,

Yet again our offense shows itself consistently inconsistent.

I am very ready for a new Offensive Coordinator.

DT is what he is, one of those things is inaccurate. There were some great catches made today, especially early in the game. DT did seem to find a way to bring the ball down some. Maybe his arm was getting tired like a pitcher late in the game.

Burned them long just about every time we tried today.

We just don't try very often at all. That is coaching and not DT's fault.

And that last TD pass was a duck, but it was a duck because DT got leveled as he was throwing the ball.

If there is no fear of the QB then it's east to stack up the line and stop the run

We don't have another QB that could take that hit and deliver the ball down field like that. He saw the receiver breaking open and knew he was gonna get hammered there. The problem is, if he showed the same patience on the first and second possession of the game we score easily and start the game 14-0.

I still question the QB draw on 4th and 1 from the shotgun. That was so Dodge-like it made me want to puke!

There is no fear because they know we will ran on EVERY 1st down in the 1st and 2nd quarter, and the seldom times that we pass, it will be a bubble screen, screen, or a dump to the running back. We won't throw vertical.

We refuse to even try. Easiest team in America to game plan against.

Hard to call plays when the run game is producing < 4ypc and you never know which Derek you'll get on a pass play.

Tulane was blitzing often on 3rd down, daring DT to beat them passing. They read the book on this offense, play the run 1st, and make them beat you in the air. Sometimes DT plays above it and the team wins, sometimes he plays in their favor and NT loses. I don't blame him solely, but his pick 6, and numerous bad throws in key situations can't be overlooked.

Next week he'll probably play like a world beater. This is just how it is...

That's 1.7 yards per carry.

If the coaches didn't put DT in 3rd and long situations early in just about every road game, DT would be more successful. He is not Johnny Manzel and never will be, but the coaches are not maximizing his talent.

Hard to be successful when the defense knows what you are going to do 80 to 90 percent if the time .

So what does that tell you about DT? He should make those throws. He's an FBS starting QB for 3 years. You make them you win.
