Were our coordinators finally turned loose?

I cannot help but notice the complete and total change in the playcalling on both sides of the ball. We have all seen Gailey offenses and Gunther defenses of the past and I think we can say what we saw the last 3 weeks were not typical of either.

Today, particularly on defense we seemed to play more agressive, particularly with the LB's.


One has to wonder if Herm's thumb was a little to heavy and maybe after last week the coordinators told him to back off some?

Maybe?

I think the big difference is that Huard will lob it downfield even when Gonzo/Bowe are covered like a blanket. I don't know if it's confidence they'll make a play or he knows he's the 2nd or 3rd QB and just doesn't care but it's allowed us to make plays down the field.

Croyle seems like he plays not to lose, just as his brainwashing has taught him to...

I absolutely was not. Thigpen never deserved the opportunity to start. He hadn't shown anything to merit it. Please get your facts straight before you put words in my mouth.

Good point. That would make us the youngest team (on the field) by far.

Did we actually improve on offense, or is it possible that their D-Line is every bit as bad as the right side of our O-Line?

Me, I think it's the latter.

I knew they were bad, but I underestimated just how bad they actually were.

Huard actually had time in the pocket in this game.

I doubt seriously that he deserves another one. I'd bet he is gone when Brodie Croyle comes back.

Yeah, I think we may need to temper enthusiasm with the knowledge that the goat defense is really, really bad.

I was talking from a scheme perspective, but your point is valid. Particularly since that 65 yard run was sprung from the right side before their D could have been worn out.
