OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

Y'all can pretend he's masterminding this offense. I'll sit back and hope I don't have to see him without Jeremiah Smith next year. Maybe an NFL team will do us a favor.

4th and 1 and we motion the QB to direct snap to the RB 7 yards back so he can run to the edge. Twice. That kind of dumbfuck play calling is going to keep us in close games in the 4th.....not in the good way.

Unless you think Day is calling plays, not sure who else it’d be. He’s not the second coming, but the run game is better, the passing game is more creative, and they’re getting better matchups than last year. At this point I don’t care about next year, but we’ve seen plenty of OCs that are worse.

And every OC has dumbfuck play calls where they get too cute. Thats a prerequisite of being an OC.

Week 5 Game Discussion Thread

The USC Trojans are even less interested in playing defense than Ryan Day is concerned about Fielding quality special teams.

(Autocorrect capitalized Fielding. It's brilliant, but I can't take credit.)
In fairness, Day got a portal kicker and an ST coach with a good track record and has gotten Inniss off of returns. Results have still been ass, but I do think he’s trying. I will say that I can’t understand why we haven’t tried to find a better punter.

I don’t know about masterminding, but do even you not think he’s a significant upgrade over Hartline? A few positives that I’ve seen include getting plays in on time, THTGDB, more varied and generally quicker tempo, recognizing over the last 2-3 weeks that wider formations with fewer TEs need to be in regular use, and, of late, recognition that the middle of the field wasn’t being used enough in the passing game. There’s been some fuckery, but it’s smelled like typical Ryan Day situational fuckery to me rather than something Smith brought here (I suspect that Day weighs in more on key plays and that he shouldn’t although I can’t provide any evidence for that).

Week 5 Game Discussion Thread

Two weeks in a row their scripted drive produces, then they shit the bed :lol:
It was actually worse. Their defense had a pick 6 and another pick set them up to where they just had to drive 30 some yards. If it wasn’t for the defense, they would have scored 0.

Poor bastards. Now they play penn state. Somebody is starting 0-3 in the big ten.

Hope you get back on your feet soon, RB7
Thank you, barely got lucid right before kickoff and kept frantically ringing my alarm bell when I saw it was about to kick off. The hospital disagrees with my definition of "emergency", but anyone who knows me would know that's a good sign.
