'16 GA WR/DB Marquez Callaway (UT commit 1/21/2016)

Why in the hell would our coaches call deep ball plays if they know the quarterback most likely isn't going to hit no where near the receiver?

Dobbs has has his faults but the woes in the passing game is not more on him than the WRs or coaches. Its a combination. Dobbs has missed some big time throws but dont try and pretend that every deep ball he has ever thrown hits nowhere near the WR.

To answer your question, because they are paid football coaches who have more football knowledge in their pinky fingers than all of VN combined. Thats why.
 
I am not a football expert, but they need to get a little better with calling the pass plays that Dobbs can throw. He throws a great ball down the middle- hitches, skinny posts, seams. His inaccuracies are deep with a flat ball. They need to run some verticals just to loosen up the defense.

If Dobbs could just hit 5-8% more of his passes, then the offense could be unstoppable. Even if he hit one or two more deep balls, we could have another win or two. I hope the staff learned from the first 4 games this year and tweaks it a bit. Next year could be special.


IMO his inaccuracies occur when he gets lazy with his footwork. When he moves his feet through the throw and steps into his throws it is a beautiful ball. When he doesn't his passes wobble and are off the mark.

That WR group would be more than underwhelming. That's flat-out terrible.

Whomever we end up with as WR recruits in this class - and, until signing day comes and goes that list could change significantly - they will individually have every opportunity to make their own way through their hard work and dedication.

My problem is this: if you aren't getting the top end guys, then you need to get the most out of their ability through scheme and coaching, and I don't have a great deal of confidence in that.

I would think you have to call them from time to time just to get the defense out of the box and he hit a few of those this year. Not many.:)
 
I'll continue saying this until I'm blue in the face. This has to do more with Josh Dobbs than our receivers.

Most junior varsity high school qbs can throw a simple go route. It's not that complicated. When your guy is faster and taller most of the time, give them a chance to make a play.

This. The coaches don't start utilizing the whole field until they have to. The point of a spread offense is to make teams defend sideline to sideline, not hash marks to sidelines. Dobbs is pretty money in the middle of the field and our guys find ways to get open in the middle. Carolina last year and UGA this year they start trusting the middle and it's amazing the results that ensue.

Luke Stampini said based on info from Ga guys and Bartow that Ole Miss is the likely destination for Callaway.


Don't shoot me or harm the face. Just passing it on.
 
If it's Ole Miss must have either academic issues, personal problems, or both. Blue font but not really
