I have enjoyed his play calling thus far. I think we threw the ball more than we wanted to against VT because he knew we were not running the ball on them. My only hope is that this doesn't continue into conference play, because we will not compete for the East if we can't run the ball and are 1 dimensional every game.
The play calling has been pretty good I believe though. I really thought he called a good game against VT when you consider all the factors. We were basically a 1 dimensional team through the air but he still found a way to move the ball through the air against a very good defense. That's pretty impressive. The play calling is not predictable at all and if we can ever find a run game this team could maybe push for the East. Havn't been impressed with Rasul running the ball I think Mobley is by far the best RB on our roster. I hope they roll with him getting the bulk of the carries going forward. I understand they would like for Rasul to be the #1 guy with his pedigree and all but Mobley is just better. Almost feels like they're trying to force it with Rasul when Mobley and even Pettaway are the better options.
A few things I would like to see.....Pierce definitely needs more targets/touches. The guy is a work horse and catches everything thrown his way. I think it's a mistake to not utilize his talent. And I'd like to see us actually give the ball on a sweep once or twice since we fake it so much. The sweep always looks like it would have had a ton of room to run but it's never given. And maybe consider some old school RB screens when the defense is pinning it's ears back. And start Mobley.
That is all![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Looking good though. Much better flow and execution vs. Tony Franklin's crap thus far.
