ND Offense this spring
- Thread starter edub72
- Start date
Lack of coaching experience on the offensive side of the ball. First time OC, downgrade at OL coach. Lost Kaleb Smith.
However, didn’t I just read that the offense beat the defense in the scrimmage? We are a tough defense to score on. If we are struggling, it could be partially due to a really good defense.
This is incorrect. And the offense won the scrimmage today
We should be balanced. Our run game is a strength
Where are people hearing this nonsense?
The media saw two practices.
The defense is often ahead of the offense in spring and it was not a spring where the defense dominated. It was back and forth and offense won at end of the spring... That's what you want.
A new QB, a new slot wr breaking in, te injuries, new guards on both sides, and breaking in 3 freshmen wr....
The offense will be fine

Sounded like Hartman was really good in the real scrimmage last Saturday and clearly the better QB, with the offense winning the 90 play scrimmage.
Freeman also stated offense played really well, with just a slight lull, but finished strong.
The defense is evolving. And it needs to. The Elko/lea defense has proven viable until they play big games. It's not all the players. I expect that his year we will see them build in more of the multiple looks that freeman prefers. I'd rather be blitzing and dictating what the offense can do, than running lbs into blocks and letting the offense pick us apart with 1000 cuts.
If we see a deep safety blitz that's 5 yards away from getting to the QB when the ball is passed i'll lose my you know what. The fact we did that multiple times after ohio state was beyond stupid.
My other concern is linebackers getting home. I'm not sure i've seen LBs blitz more with minimal impact than last year.
Your first comment reminds me of the Jon Tenuta days. What a disaster that was.
You know what's more worthless than anecdotal reports from local journos that maybe the new offense and it's new coaches are struggling?
Effin' BK-hating fans from the most peanut of peanut galleries insisting that any such reports are stupid and wrong and everything's great. That's way more worthless....

I'm sure you will see some. My read, again is that this is a chance to show one look and switch to keep qbs guessing. Dropping an end and firing the rover or cb etc.
Won't know until we see it, but that was done a lot at cinci
Yeah, i'm fine with a safety blitz, but not one from 20 yards deep that has absolute no chance. Not sure if it was scheme, coaching, or execution last year but that play flat out didn't work and hurt us a few times in important instances.
Oh I agree. I still don't get that play call... Either the players timed it wrong or someone had to forget to drop.
If it wasn't better than last years offense, MF would be on the clock. That's not saying much
Yep… as bad as our D was in the red zone they were oppositely great at forcing 3 and outs and giving the ball back to our offense. The d either created 3 and out or long td drive it seemed
