The following post is a no way referencing positive or negative outlook, but how we feel about certain concepts.
Kyler Kerbyson made several remarks this morning on one of the local sports shows, the following is two that I found most interesting.
I will be paraphrasing, as it's not in transcript and I'm not going to listen and write down word for word.
1. Basically every play is an option. I know what you're thinking , "of course it is", but it is beyond what I thought.
Kyler said that the play call could even be a run for Hurd. That he could have lined up for a run, and do his best to make a huge hole for Hurd to run through, and Dobbs decide to make a pass play instead. Basically, almost every play, in the end, was the decision of Dobbs.
Now I was well aware that Dobbs may run because the pass play wasn't there, but this is a little different than how I had it in my head.
I have made several comments here about pass to run ratio, all of them, assuming that Dobbs did what was called 90% of the time. That is not how Kyler made it sound at all.
I know I grumbled about 2 identical pass plays in the flat being called, and this makes it sound like that may very well not have been the calls.
At the beginning of the post I said this may not have anything to do with you feeling positive or negative. As for me, I'm not sure how to feel about this, but it might change which part of the game I'm upset about.
To a lesser degree, because I believe opinion can play a big factor here.
2. He got on the o-line a little, while somewhat sticking up for Mahoney.
Paraphrasing again, but he basically said that Mahoney does a really good job teaching them. "You can only show proper technique to the guys so many times". And that they looked really good at times last year and not at others because of their consistency.
They do it right in practice, they do it right two or three times on the same play call, then they just suddenly whiff next time on the same kind of play.
As I pointed out, this one can be opinion - maybe a better coach could have made them more consistent. I still found it interesting, so thought I would pass it along as well.
Like I said, these are his paraphrased comments.
But the first comment on play calling, was very interesting to me. Maybe I'm not any less upset but possibly for a different reason.
I'll try to post the link below if anyone would like to hear it for themselves. You may not usually enjoy the show but I found it to be very informative this time around.
