Our offensive identity is lost

SDSU was the better team yesterday, but with Cam’s two horrible turnovers, the running into the punter, all the goofy shit that Stig throws at us, etc. I like where we’re at. That game could’ve been won with better coaching and if that happens as it normally does come playoff time we’ll be just fine.

I really don't think that the INT was that terrible... didn't SDSU's DB just knock Watson down on that play? And the fumble was kind of flukey and an easy fix. All in all, I thought Cam played a pretty good game. And, hey, teams need a wake-up call. There's a reason that undefeated seasons don't happen on the first title run in a series (and I consider this the start of a new run since so much has changed since 2019.)

Its crazy we were still in the game with all the adversity. Picks happen. The 2 fumbles were bigger. The refs always give the home field an advantage and that's fine. At times we looked good enough but the offense is still dog shit, especially in the red zone

My problems with Cams pick all revolve around when it happened. It was 1st and 10 and we were moving the ball very well on the drive. It was pretty obvious we were going to run the deep ball to Watson play when we lined up and only sent out two in the route. When cam turned around that ball was gonna fly whether Watson was one on one or there were 5 rabbits back there.

If it was 3rd and long I really like the play call and decision to throw since it was essentially a punt.

I hold (and had yesterday right after it happened) the same position as you on this. There was zero reason to call that play at that time and about a 100 reasons not to. I think this dovetails with O Identity Thread. There no rhyme or reason to our play calling.

Another question I have is whether coaches are telling RBs not to bounce outside when planned gap is full. I just don’t get it. You see other teams do it all the time—with success. Hell, most linger runs in the NFL result from RB making a move or bounce to the outside. It’s both mind-boggling and maddening for me.

I agree with this but maybe our RBs have been overrated as good backs have good vision and do this periodically.

We did it in the SDSU game at least once

Coaching ain't improving anytime soon. We got a coordinator who got the job because he was a local legend on the gridiron and a head coach who isn't equipped either.

And Roehl would probably still run the QB 75% of the time...

And...if Tyler Roehl was the feature RB, and the OC kept calling QB runs...what would he have thought?
