I'm all about staying with Heupel. I think the team will be alright. But what was up with the Shotgun on 4th and Inches?
I think its funny to start with "Im all about staying with Huepel".I'm all about staying with Heupel. I think the team will be alright. But what was up with the Shotgun on 4th and Inches?
If you think he wont be in the shotgun again on 4th and short, you are going to be upset a lot. I personally dont have a problem with it.Didn’t like that call, and I like Heupel.
I’m betting that’s not a mistake he makes again.
Happen to catch the Titans game? Ask Derek Henry how easy it is to get just a half yard in a power formation.I don't like the shotgun there, but still it seemed fairly clear that the QB had the option of handing it off to the RB or keeping it around the end. It looked like Hooker misread the defense and should have kept the ball for a likely score.
Why be cute when brute force should get what you need? This was a time for a QB keeper or a big back power run. They needed inches - thanks to a terrible ball placement.
He actually did put it in Hookers hand and he decided to hand it off. Would have had a much better chance to score if he keeps itA terrible idea for sure. Put the ball in Hooker's hands.
The only thing I can figure is that everyone in the stadium thought the same thing, so Heupel tried to do the unexpected.
But sometimes you just go ahead and do the obvious thing. Everyone always expected Jordon to take the last shot, right?
I can see a logic behind the QB read in a case where the center and/or quarterback hasn't trained any under center sets. QB sneak is the right call but only if you've actually practiced it with that personnel. I don't like the idea of a straight up zone run for the running back with no QB keep option. Maybe it's just my own bias but zone blocking looks very boom or bust to me, especially giving up an unblocked defender on the edge, so it's better when it's not 4th down and the chance of a long run can be more valuable than a guaranteed short gain.I'm all about staying with Heupel.

Its been debated on here and gone back and forth between it the was called play or was Hooker supposed to make a read, fake handoff and keep it around the end or was the play for him to keep it and he misunderstood. We will probably never know. Since it sucked Heuple probably will never address it.

I agree too many moving parts going from the gun, yeah chance for a big reward but the safer option is just smash it with a QB keeper. I think Hooker would've pushed and fought to get the 1st down. That then gives you 4 plays to do something cute.I don't like the shotgun there, but still it seemed fairly clear that the QB had the option of handing it off to the RB or keeping it around the end.

Coach says it wasn't a rpo. There wasn't an option for him to keep it.
The fourth down call was horrible.. Snap the ball five yards deep then slowly had the ball off to 175 pound running back up the middle. Why do our coaches do this ?. What is the success rate for a quarterback sneak with six inches to make. Heupel must have got trained under the Butch Jones school of quarterback play... A touchdown ties the game !!!!!!!
