Boy, if this is true, then I have been giving some coach('s) way too much credit and have been way too hard on some players in the past.
Talk about a nut shot of the most epic proportion..

Re: Meyer's Punches Pulled Last Year?
I will reserve judgment on that one until I see Meyer this season.
Do I think it could be true? Of course, I think back and him being restricted could have easily been the case. Perhaps, even though most of us really liked Fitch - it was good he took a different job after all.

Great find! That is absolutely pathetic. Do any other BCS schools run their offense like a high school? Who cares if Blythe is running down the field ten yards free? We don't want to throw to that side of the field this play!

if any supporters of the old regime exist, this should surely turn their colors..

This is a classic and major example of playing NOT TO LOSE!
I had said previously that I lost faith in the previous coaching staff after the UCONN debacle. I wonder what Mac backers have to say now? :angry6wn:

Re: Meyer's Punches Pulled Last Year?
Perhaps another reason we never saw Blythe get upset with Meyer over not getting the ball when he was open (which is 85% of the time).

(Bluuuuaaahhhhh) That was me throwing up in my mouth a little bit just now, what a sickening sub-optimization of an incredible offensive tandem. Can we please get their eligibility back from last season????

That's why he checked one, maybe two receivers, then chucked the ball out-of-bounds every 3 plays.

Re: Meyer's Punches Pulled Last Year?
Would this have been a timing issue? Maybe the line couldn't hold long enough for him to look more - and as a precaution, the staff only gave him a limited range to throw to. ?

Even if that were the case, the staff is responsible for the quality of our offensive line.

Not sure why anyone is surprised. How many times did you see a reciever line up UNCOVERED and still was not even looked at. Must not have been in the "approved" 1/3 of the field. This just makes me upset when I think about the 2005 season and how that ended up...........so let's look to the future.
I think/hope we have some proven coaches that show us something we haven't seen before. I think with this coaching change, we will not be as bad as people think and we will surprise people. Not saying we make a bowl but win more than we would have and throw a wrench in someones season. All this just make me more excited for next year.

Re: Meyer's Punches Pulled Last Year?
Somebody stayed after class and did their homework.
The staff is responsible for the offensive line, so their horrible play goes on them and the staff. I will say, I felt our scheming for run blocking was the biggest deficiency. We had a smash-mouth group that wanted to block straight-up, not a group that was capable of zone blocking and such.
So I'm not sure what other schemes our staff could've put in place for pass blocking. Although, running the ball well helps your pass protection, so if the staff could have utilized our linemen better in running schemes, we could've been more effective all the way around.
All these things are connected. In a world of "someone must be to blame", if I had to assess our ineffective passing game I'd break it out like this...
Staff - 40%
Offensive line - 35%
QB - 15%
Receivers - 10%
