QB progression

[Pheasant]

Gentleman.....all of that stuff is great. But the problem is, Smith can't read or get through his progressions, so what does it all matter? That was quite evident last week, and I have seen this going back to last season. And now, opponents know this and will be prepared. SDST made asjustments at half and held Smith in check running, thus holding our offense to 2 FG. (defense gets TD for the fumble at one yd line). And this against a poor defense. What is going to happen against an average or better defense?

I don't really agree that he can't make reads...he's just not consistent. It seems to me that he is trying to reproduce his stats from the scUM game the last 2 weeks, trying to shred the defense with his feet. Once he gets that into his head he just can't seem to stop. I think he just needs to settle down.

The debate between buckeye fans over the last few weeks' offense, seems to be boiling down to JT's offense vs. TS execution. I have never played QB at any level. I came across this quote from BN$

I've never heard a QB say that. I began wondering. Is this how every QB is taught, or is this what JT teaches?
Could this be why we see so many short passes?
Can anybody out there enlighten me?
PLEASE ADVISE. Thanks

I can only say that This is Troys style and not JT's. Troy will have to develop and find secondary receivers or he will eventually find himself again in the second spot.

Just imagine if Troy used his legs to buy time! That's when coverages break down. I think we have guys who could improvise given just such scenarios.

Much improvement seen today! The line gave Smith all day to pick out secondary receivers!
