I think some aspects of Wentz's game are ahead of Jensen others behind. I think he reads well, much better than Jensen (there were a couple Saturday that I don't even know how he saw). I think he moves around the pocket better. He is not a better game manager, doesn't quite know when to take off and run as well, and I think Jensen throws a more catchable ball. Wentz seems to power throws some that don't need to be.
Last years offensive line was maybe our best ever. There were games last season where Brock wasn't getting closed to being touched. I am pleased in what I have seen with Carson so far this season but the continued improvement of our O-line will determine how successful our QB and team will be this year.
I agree with this. I think a lot of our offense so far has been used to set up stuff for the future. For example the fullhouse pistol formation with all three backs in the backfield. They ran out of this formation three times and it was all stretch plays to the outside. I remember Lynch from NIU running this formation, and would pull it out and triple option to the back runningback (Crockett in our formation). Also would like to see us stretch the field soon. Since the deep ball in Iowa St, we haven't seen much of pushing the ball down field. A couple seem throws to our TE's as about it. Other than that, can't complain. The team seems to have nothing but great things to say about his work ethic and leadership. 4-0 on the year and a plus turnover differential. Offense will keep growing, defense just needs to stay healthy and build depth.
^^^^^This.
And Smith was also able to stretch the field both vertically (fly patterns) and horizontally (jet sweeps) with his crazy northern speed. We have yet to find, or (so far) show, much of anyone (Dudzik?), who can do the same. Once we do.....look out (again!) MVC and FCS!
I think Urzendowski will turn into a real player maker in the slot. He seems to have a good feel for the open spot and has went across the middle quiet of bit. I still don't know who will be out jet sweep threat. Darius Anderson has ran it a couple times. We still haven't heard much from Tyler Wrice. I would rather keep Dudzik on defense than expose him to more pounding on offense. Eric Perkins fits the mold, but we have yet to see him run the play. We have to remember Ryan was a former RB, so it was natural for him to run those sweep plays and get into the open field.
