DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Josh Gordon Reinstated Part II

A scant two attempts to get Gordon the ball in the second half tells me that the OC couldn't adjust his play-calling when his stud player was better-covered. Oh the horror...might as well just forfeit then.

Teams figure out how to attack us all the time...we let them attack us and blame everything on the players. Maybe Hue just needs a WR more dominant than Gordon so his schemes can work.

Hue is 1-28.

because it is the players' JOB to do things.

Rather than just blindly blaming Hue, why don't you list specifics of what it was he didn't do.

What magical play call are you imagining that would have Gordon get open when he wasn't getting himself open? Is there some silver bullet of a route he could run that would cause their defense to stop doing everything they can to take him away and instead say "nah, he's on that route, we can skip him this play.... oh, jeez! He caught the ball, OMFG!!"???


Adjusting - the thing you don't think they are doing, is what they are doing when they instead get the ball to Coleman. The purpose of the game is to keep the offense moving, not to get Gordon stats. If their defense wants to devote extra guys to covering Gordon, then we take what they leave weakened -- the coverage on Coleman.

See, I thought that's what coaches were supposed to do. Find where the opponents weaknesses are and try to exploit those weaknesses. Oh the horror of it all!

No Pit, coaches are supposed to force the ball to one receiver despite double coverage and ignore the one-on-one match-ups.

Well, that is, until they do force it into double coverage and then they are idiots for doing so and not exploiting the single coverage match-ups.

It's how the Hue Hate Club operates. Heck, I think it was in this very thread where a poster or three talked about they hoped Hue wouldn't force the ball to Gordon.

Coaches are supposed to try to put their best WR's earlier in the read progressions when their rookie QB is struggling to make read progressions.

Well, good coaches that is.

yep.. nothing but short quick passes for the guy.. thats the ticket...

With Josh those short quick passes could turn into big gains. He's done it before.

That's exactly what beat us on Sunday.

GB adjusted to what we gave them.

Ignore him. He's one of the guys I was talking about.

If Hue forces the ball into double coverage, he would be crying about how Hue is forcing the ball and not taking advantage of what the defense is giving him, which would prove that Hue can't scheme or call plays.

His lack of objectivity is nauseating.

well they have linebackers that can cover so it wouldnt work for most nfl teams..

I remember some people railing Sashi on this forum for keeping Gordon. Said he'd never be the same player and that he would screw it up. Now they celebrate Hue calling plays for him. Now they say JG is making everyone better.

Hmmmm........who are those posters?

Most LB's are asked to cover a lot less space than our LB's are asked to cover.

That high safety forces to CB's and LB's deeper as well.

You can't even take your own advice. You vowed that you would never speak to me, never refer to me and never utter my name but seem to do these things daily.

Your lack of objectivity and lack of honesty is amazing.

He said this to me last year"never respond to one of your posts again." so his word is worth less than a nickle.

What does that have to do w/Gordon?

I won't be suprised this week if our linebackers are guarding the goal line on Baltimore's 1st play from scrimmage on their own 25 yard line. Peppers could be lined up guarding the beer vendor in the upper deck of the dawg pound.
