Kuithe has lost a step and appears out of shape. I think Ludwig has overlooked that and those wildcat and sweep plays were proof. He is a great pass catcher, but he’s not burning past anyone anymore.

Listening to Scott Mitchell talk on the radio today about the lack of adjustments was maddening. Basically saying from his college and pro days, he’s never seen an offense that doesn’t adapt to what the defense is doing. Which was happening. And how Ludwig wouldn’t allow Wilson to audible out of a play at the line of scrimmage. Not tailoring…[Read more]

It would be nice to know more about how the protections are called and shifted. I think the players are solid and since we generally have had good run game you can’t really say the OLine is all bad.

But against defenses shifting and blitzing that seems to be a shit show in terms of assignment although I agree with those who are putting a big…[Read more]

Genuine question. How do you see the rest of this season going? The guards can’t pass block, the pressure will come straight up the middle. How does the offense get fixed?

leaving the injured Cam on the field in that game when it was obvious he couldn’t make an accurate throw was 100% on the coaching staff. Pretty sure EVERYONE was confused about that.

I don’t agree at all with the take on the offensive side. Outside of Kuithe who I do think has lost a step I don’t think we’re lacking at all. Singer & Parks are solid. Singer in fact to me is one of those “always open” guys and we just don’t throw him the ball nearly enough.

I don’t think speed is an issue, and generally, I think speed is overrated. To clarify, by this I mean nearly everybody has top end speed, and so pure speed isn’t a differentiator. As an example of this Devaughn Vele ran a 4.47 at the combine, Marvin Harrison Jr. ran a 4.46, Jackson Smith Njigba ran an unofficial 4.53 at the combine. I am sure…[Read more]

least amount of pressure possible for the position. Utah continues scoring under 20 ppg, it’s the last guys fault and it was too broken for him to fix during the season. Utah gets up around 30 ppg the rest of the season, he gets a shiny new contract.

The only way you make this move during the season is if you are acknowledging that staying the…[Read more]

That’s a misquote. Ludwig said that.

125th in punt return average (3.43) and tied for 113th in kick return average (16.5). Better off fair catching everything than risking a muff at this point

With a tiny improvement on offense Utah wouldn’t be in a 3 game losing streak. I am optimistic for the next 5 games.

just having an offensive player go somewhere the defensive player doesn’t expect would be 300% improvement. And you’ll start to see speed and separation at the same time. 4.3 guys who run 6 yards and stand around look pretty much the same as 4.6 guys

Good comments. Special teams isn’t getting enough of the blame. We almost never gain any field position yards due to a good punt or kick return. No stats to back this up, but I don’t see us flipping the field a lot on punts.

I honestly have not looked closely enough to assess the OL. I do know that an OL can break down for many reasons beyond the control of the OL and OL coach. Forcing a defensive front to defend multiple possibilities is an OL key and is deeply seeded in play calling. When a defensive front gets on a roll, again, play calling is important to break up…[Read more]

Thanks again for all your input. What’s your feelings on this being Whitt’s last year? Originally I felt like if we made playoffs he’d ride off on his Harley into the sunset. I also thought if we had a down year he wouldn’t go out like that. But this feels different. It’s been such a massive disappointment, toxic at times (this year) and chaotic…[Read more]

The interim OC has a lot of pressure on him coming in to right the ship just a little before the end of the season. Can he do it? I don’t know. After doing some research on him, I wasn’t impressed with his experience and coaching record to say the least, but just a new cog in the wheel. If he can kinda turn things around starting with Houston…[Read more]
