one of those three young RBs will need to step up and show that they can carry the load. I have never been a fan of runningback by committee, so hopefully one will take the reins and run with it.
we need to run pass routes that get Wil Tye open down field. I have heard that the guy really has a set of wheels. I dont like those routes he ran on Saturday, little square outs, where he has no forward momentum when he catches the ball. he got knocked backwards a couple times making short catches. He is too good to waste on those short routes. Try some seam routes down field with him!!
Our DBs need to remain on their game and not fall for those stupid trick plays. that was really embarassing to see those two receivers wide open on the trick plays. someone let their man release, thinking it was a run play.
we still have Towson, Richmond and New Hampshire to play. we will need to win 2 out of 3 of those games and sweep the rest of the schedule to have a legit playoff spot.
I definitely agree, BFF. But, I there are a couple of other points I took away from that horrendous game that I think are worth mentioning:
--1) Jahrie Level showed on two occasions that he has excellent hands, and from what I've read, if he gets into the open could be truly dangerous. How about running plays with 3 wideouts (assuming Coxson is coming back shortly) to take away some of the concentrated coverage on Eugene and perhaps forcing the defenses to ease up on the run a little?
--2) I know Ferreira had a terrible game against BU, but I'm betting he's still the best place kicker the Seawolves have. Without doubt he's got the strongest leg! I say stick with him, and run grueling practices for him from the hash marks, as opposed to repoacing him with Ball.
--3) Something tells me that James Kenner may be the best opportunity for a RB to step up in place of Coker at this point. I like the way he runs, but so far he's not been given ample opportunity to show what he's got. I think Tyler Fredericks, as good as he may become, needs more seasoning before being truly counted upon.
