I see an O that's trying to be more dynamic. Just that things go wrong (3 INT) and hold them back.
Maybe finding a running game will help he and Jake be more dynamic.
Can't blame Roper for the INTs...Jake stared down Hurst on INT in the end zone, Jake/Edwards made the wrong read on the INT where we caused fumble, and Jake seemed to force the third one.
I DO BLAME ROPER for the 3rd & 1 then 4th & 1 fails. WE MUST find some creativity in these critical down and distance situations. Come out w something nasty that there is no film of you doing...
Taters a few years back came out in a funky formation...imagine this
split wide left: Young & Hurst blocking in front of Ortre
split wide right: Bailey & August blocking in front of Edwards
Stanley-Knott-Helms blocking for Jake and Turner...either can keep it.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 1-2 YARDS!!!
If they match 3-3 on outside we can run it in a 3 blocking 5 odds; or screen pass to the WR in a 1-1 match.
If they bring more people inside you throw it outside where you have numbers.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 1-2 YARDS!!!
It's this lack of creativity and predictability that bothers me w Roper.
Continued development of OL and RBs will help him vastly.
