Fonua gets the (re)call

Thanks to fall break!

by any chance, did any of the coaches go to Arizona this weekend? or were they all in Cali?

Good Morning!

yeah, I saw Anae thrust his helmet against the opposing Warrior’s helmet.

hubby and I were surprised he wasn’t ejected after he did that to a 2nd Warrior, especially since both incidents resulted in both warriors collapsing and being carted off the field.

the hits were clean, he just has a hard ass head or something.

ST:

has the travel roster been announced for the SD game?

ST: when all is said and done, my problems are mynah, not majah…

GOOD MORNING HAWAII!

Senator Donna Mercado Kim – tomorrow!

Nice read with Reardon this AM.

I was hoping that we would see the wildcat by now.

we used Lister as wildcat against BYU.

im not a fan of the wildcat, tho.

Totally disgusted by fickle fans on EVERY board and on the radio.

I still stand by the coach and his players.

Pomai SDSU 21 – UH 23

26. Fickle fans are everywhere. Every team has them in the country. No point getting worked up over other people. Especially when it is ecpected to always have fans who complain. No one is happy with how this season is going but I think if anything, its the optimistic fans who are the ones that are having way too high expectations. People were trying to predict Chow was going to be a savior immediately. Predicting USC upsets and so on.

If people can put into perspective that we had some pretty bad recruiting classes under Mack and learning a new system will take a couple years as a whole, then I think we will be fine moving forward. Need to get the right recruits in place.

#26, just ignore them. It is an opinion, can’t change what people think … even if it’s ignorant…..

ha! mynah problems! that made all my mayjah problems go away!!

Also on his show last night, Chow said that Pete Carroll would also tell him to simplify, simplify, simplify.

So maybe that is what Chow is trying to do here.

About using Lister in the wildcat during the BYU game… we didn’t get to see the BYU game, but we recorded it. I will be home tomorrow night and will see the game then. Will watch for the wildcat to see how it was pulled off.

Ohayooooooooooo go za I ma su everyboty!!!!!

No forget . . . POSITIVE THOUGHTS (no hate to the other team, no hate on those who hate on the Warriors, yes?) . . . let’s all, in our own way, bid positive thoughts to the football Warriors and visualize them achieving victory on the field.

A collective effort can make a difference. Let’s try it in our respective free time this week, yes? Saturate those Warriors with your positive thoughts :).

Good morning Tsaikos!!!

Hope everyone has a great day today!!!

Too bad about Georden. Prayers for a quick recovery.

hope we turn things around quickly, or at least put a decent product out. not sure how Chow will get “his recruits” if things dont change.

i already see recruiting saying stuff like hawaii is sorry and theyre glad they committed to another school.

recruits* not recruiting

so far, the chow passing game sucks, except for that 1 drive using davis on quick slants against nevaaada…

If Anae’s hits are considered clean… then the rules need to be changed.

Again, giving a person an intentional whiplash should be treated like an intentional concussion…

The effects on the victim are traumatic and with longterm effects.

I understand that there are hazards in any contact sport… but to be effective in today’s game, INTENTIONAL injuring has become the norm and I don’t like it.

Football is not a contact sport…it’s a collision sport. Every play involves collisions akin to a car accident.

Very unfortunate results often happen.

First play was freakish as helmets collided as both players were coming out of their initial step.

Second play either he drops his head or takes a helmet in his cage.

What would the conversation be if Kamika Anae wore white and green on Friday and laid out 2 Cougars?

I’ll repeat what I’ve said several times…If the rule makers really want to impact the rates of concussion injuries they would ban facemasks.

Talk about maturity accusing another player of INTENTIONALLY trying to knock one of our players out of the game.

Auburn fans want to fire their head coach. This after winning the national championship in 2010.

With the Warriors Defense can’t stop anything, Mike Edwards is the only one that is playing at a high level. So I dont think the Warriors will win any games against MWC teams, as a quasi-Reardon statement, “With these Horses”. Chow has to develop these Horses and recruit Horses to better fit to his style of offense. And Kaumeyer needs to do the same thing with the Horses on his defense and recruit Horses to run his style of defense. Lets be serious though Hawaii has run the RnS for 13 years and Hawaii is at the beginning of a change of style of play.

Changing from what you have been doing to something completely is always painful, here are some examples:

Think about when you have to change jobs whether you get fired or not?

Or your job changes it policy from documenting with paper forms to electronic documention and you don’t type well?

Or some other major change and it took you and the rest of the staff a while to adjust and it effected job performance?

Change as in when you get a divorce/break up and have to enter the dating scene again?

Change as when you instructor changes the criteria for the worse and you have to start all over again midway through the semester?

Change is not always for the better but this early none of us really knows whether Chow and his staff’s change is for the worst either. Give it 3/4 years and then we can make a true evaluation.

Excellent beat ! I would like to apprentice at the same time as you amend your site, how could i subscribe for a blog website? The account aided me a appropriate deal. I were a little bit familiar of this your broadcast provided bright clear idea

61. Mack left the cupboards pretty bare if you ask me. He set our program back a few years.

Mack on the other hand inherited a team that came off a BCS game. You know what that does for recruiting? He didn’t take advantage of it at all. Not to mention, we returned 9 starters I think on defense. Why Tyler Graunke didn’t play I dont know. He showed that he could lead a team to wins.

NEXT, LAFFING STOCK AKA U.H., WILL BE FUNDING ROOM & BOARD, PLUS SNACKS FOR VISITING TEAMS’ BOOSTERS & FANS!

P.S. NOT SHOUTING, NOT SCREAMING, NOT YELLING, NOT CRYING; JUST BAD EYESIGHT (JUST LIKE REFS).

We should have an option offensive package

Even June Jones had this offensive scheme in goal line situations; but why don’t we have one to put in the game using Graves as QB; as a surprise to opposing defenses–just keep running it until they stop us; then throw the long pass when they bring more people in the box. Use this on our opening series; and several times during the game. The 49’ers have this option in their game plans with Kapernick!

Or even putting in Nevada’s pistol, again with Graves as QB–we ran the pistol last year.

How about more screen passes; flea flickers; reverses or trick plays?

We need to do something different to shake this offense up!

In light of some of the comparisons fans have made regarding Norm Chow to Fred Von Appen, here some thing to consider:

Von Appen had no clear plan or vision (although his Super Bowl Rings were nice). He did bring in some talent (Dan Robinson, Jeff Ulbrich, Dwight Carter, among others). VA pissed off those in the community who tried to help the football program – seemed disinterested in meeting influential people and garnering support. VA changed offensive coordinators each year he was here (Guy Benjamin, Wally English, and finally making DC Don Lindsey the OC in 98). VA turned his back and didn’t recruit local players (the Iwalani School incident and Joe Igber comes to mind), opening the flood gates for other WAC and Pac-10 schools to recruit here. Local players who telling recruits to go elsewhere. VA didn’t seem to want to be here, nor did many of his assistants (who were from the continent). There was dissension on the team, culminating with a brawl between local and mainland players on campus.

There’s more, but I’ll stop here.

Justin Clapp has a future in comedy if the football thing doesn’t work out.

That guy is pretty funny.

@34 If I heard coach or maybe the defensive coach correctly before – by simplify it meant allowing the defensive players to play by reacting instinctively instead of thinking too much. Now that it appears that the players are reacting instinctively but finding themselves out of position to make plays, simplify must now mean something else. Is it the opposite now – think first, before reacting??

CU = Coors Country

All it takes is the boys having pride and heart in everything they do. From the classroom, to the weight room, to the field. Go harder than your hardest effort, always continue to push yourself more than what you’re capable of. Don’t settle and think you’re good enough, because there is always someone better than you. You gotta continue to do work everyday, every chance, every opportunity. The problem is the whole team has to give their all for themselves and for each other. If they don’t you will never receive the results you’re looking for. Like I said, I don’t expect miracles, could care less about the wins and losses…but I do want to see heart and effort on every down, every play, from every player. Seems like some are on this route but most are not. Saying it on paper and actually doing what you say are two different things. You can say you’re doing this and that and working hard this and that, but if you look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself did you do everything you could today to the best of your ability, I’m pretty sure the answer would be no. The boys should know this because if they all gave full effort during the games, they wouldn’t be making excuses, or wouldn’t have to say I shoulda, woulda, coulda done this or that. Them looking down and getting pissed off at themselves for the outcome of games is their own fault. We all know the team is more than capable of what we’ve seen so far, seems like they just need a swift kick in the ass!

Just to clarify, I know there will never be the perfect day for any person, but if all the boys collectively strive for that perfection not only for themselves but for the team, I garrans the results will be fruitful.

no disrespect to the injured players family but I have to believe no player goes out with the intention of hurting another player. football is a violent collision sport and if you played it you know. players try their best to be the better one. and as we know when local bruddah play against each other no matter what level testosterones enlarges 150% and the adrenaline flow rampid. so those of you blogging “eye or eye” should back off from that stance. yes we bleed green and hurt when those representing gets banged up but that is no way to be.

I must also believe Anae is remorseful geordon and siasau got stingers. I wish them fast recovery and will be there to cheer their return to action.

Imua warriors

Anae remorseful? Didn’t you guys see him telling the story and smirking and laughing about it on the sideline as the medical staff tended to our boyz?

Look at the rest of the linemen. No one blatantly headbutts anyone else, aside from Anae.

Even the great ones had rough starts…

http://hawaiifootball.net/chow-may-take-some-time/

I pondered weeks ago that the push for homecoming week should have begun the Monday after the Nevada game.

Homecoming is still sacred in the college world and where people complain we have no traditions or enough pride in our school, it would be imperative to plug plug plug away and the promotion and advertisement of such an event.

In a perfect world, the football program would be 4-0 and need for such promotion wouldn’t be so urgent. However the climate is such that a proactive approach is really all that one can do to try to get people to the game against New Mexico regardless of what happened in Provo and what will happen (good or bad) in San Diego.

Proaction… PRO-ACTION.

They are not headbutting. Guess you guys want to make points, but not read the whole statement? Pau.

kind of ironic if hes a dirty player that only Hawaii linemen got carted off the field.

schoeder not graves

93. I was never on Macks nuts. I praised his solid recruits, and scratched my head on the borderline ones.

Yes I was a Promise Amadi, Trevor Davis, and Chris Gant fan but I never ever liked his O line recruits, QB recruits, or majority of his skill guys.

Any having 2 weeks left is just an excuse. If Mack was involved in recruiting as much as he claims, he should have been able to stick to the players he was recruiting throughout the season. Mack was on the same coaching staff. Only player I know who left Hawaii for SMU in that class was Chris Banjo.

Not to mention, we were still good enough to make a bowl game and in that sense, should have been signing solid players the next season too. The year Jones recruits became seniors was our WAC championship. After that, we just went down hill. One would think a solid recruiting class would have formed but it didnt.

Wow, superb weblog layout! How lengthy have you been blogging for? you made blogging look easy. The full glance of your web site is wonderful, let alone the content material!

#62 so did jj, he was great, but put zero emphasis on recruiting

Pomai,

Warriors 28 San Diego 17

Koakane,

Sent you a text.

Agree with commentary regarding hits that DTs took were legal. The only thing I didn’t care for was Anae’s teammates smirking and appearing happy that he may have seriously injured our guys.

I keep forgetting that last season we only had two offensive starter who eventually ended up being knocked out of the game, leaving us with no starters from the year before. Still we at least scored in every game and were very competitive in half of our losses. Our O-line starters got injured early in the season. Our defensive starters kept getting injured in the early part of the season as well… So we had a whole bunch of players new to their positions last season as well. It’s a different playbook, I understand, but we should not be losing by the scores that we have been.

It’s a GAME! Every once in awhile need to put things in perspective. Young men same age as those on our football team are really in harm’s way getting killed and blown up in places like Afghanistan.

Go Warriors! (Both here and overseas)

No need worry about whether Anae’s hit was legal or not. If he is doing something wrong the word will get out and he will get his in the end.

Tremendous things here. I am very satisfied to look your post. Thanks a lot and I’m looking forward to contact you. Will you please drop me a mail?

#113. Graves is more than a scrambler. Go check his high school stats. He was an accurate passer. I believe 70%.

About the “Anae” situation: First of all , he’s 6 ft 6 inches tall and over 300lb , strong with quick feet . When you collide w/ someone of that statue , the taller person will have the tendency to have a downward thrust on his target (helmet) leaving the back of neck vulnerable to injury . If both players were the same height , the possibility of getting injured would be minimal … Anae’s block was clean .

121. High school stats are over rated when it comes to QB. His brother put up better numbers.

Graves is a run first QB who is better quited for Reno offense.

jeezy, you realize that you’re discussing this with Grandma?

All the thoroughbreds in the world will not make a difference is you don’t know what to do with them, Mr. Reardon.

I wonder if someone could go an interview the previous coaches separately and ask them their opinions on recruiting for Hawaii? What kind of players to expect. How would that affect the kind of offense/defense you would employ. In hindsight, if you could do it over again, what might you change? Or would the gag order between the coaches and UH forbid that?

If we need to groom our freshman recruits for 1 or more years before they can start, then we are looking at a long rebuild before Coach Chow has his kind of players with the depth that he needs. Unless he recruits primarily from the JC ranks this season, it will take at least three years. Even then, a couple of injuries in key positions and things might fall apart.

I understand we don’t have all that many scholies to give away this year, too. Whooo boy! Got to hope our existing players turn the corner and start filling the shoes for their positions.

The problem is not coach Chow. The problem is above his pay grade.

133.

What do you expect? Go check out other teams with losing records. Unhappy fans are a given. You sound surprised like it’s the 1st time fans are wanting to get rid of a coach.

I think the fans that are the most irritating are the ones who say this is a rebuilding year and go out and predict a Hawaii win every single week. Then when Hawaii loses, they start hating on the fans who have anything negative to say. Throw out the rebuilding card. Be on 1 side or the other.

I understand we are in rebuild mode so I am willing to swallow the losses to see progress. Recruiting is going to be huge. It would be nice to pick up a few wins in the coming weeks. Unlike BYU and Nevada, I think SDSU is winnable. This coming week is probably the most important game of the year because if we win, that would be huge momentum going into New MExico game. And New Mexico almost beat Boise.

134. That’s what I want to hear. Obvious our LBs weren’t performing at a high enough level. Fonua can play. Maybe even convince coaches to offer Kawe Johnson

If we wanna be good in the future, great idea to start JGW and Fonua early on. Both have much more upside than our current LBs. Team them up with Laurel and lets see what can happen.

It’s good to hear that Benny and Jerrol will compete to help our D. If we have a chance at winning this week, we’re going to have to find a way to stop[ the run.

I believe that the great majority of fans are supporters and are being patient. Nonetheless, as George Carlin once said, “Don’t underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”

Some people now wish we kept Mack.

I’ve been reading on some Colorado forums of fans wishing they had Hawkins back.

SMH

Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist.

-George Carlin

Hope these changes work. We need a win, sooner than later.

Put Higgins in, Chow. Do it, now! He will save your arse and your job. This is what your fortune cookie says.

Graves and Schutter appear to be reborn with Schutter at number 2.

Either one of these guys could be our QB if Chow were not looking for someone to run his system more than the ability of the QB. Schroeder was the guy best suited to run Chow’s offense. The problem with Schroeder is he limits what Chow can do now to very basic things from Chow’s system. Schroeder is not a good rollout option to pass or run guy so that part of Chow’s offense is tossed (and Chow has a package of plays for running QB’s– like say Steve Young, BYU’s best running QB).

Chow also cannot run adjusting routes with Schroeder who has no experience with them and also no experience with our receivers on adjusting routes. Schutter, now the 2, and Graves can throw to adjusting routes– which Chow said he would do when he first came, but Graves inability to pick up Chow’s system prevented that and of course Schutter’s suspension also spoiled it. We badly need to use those skills of our receivers– Stutz, Davis, Gant, Harding, Bright and Miah– adjusting routes would get these guys open. We need four receivers and we can use the tight end for a receiver or sub the FB for a receiver instead of bringing so many guys inside to block the inside run that it draws the defense in and stops our running game.

jeezy u forget Alexander! guy had size and a cannon n for some weird reason could scramble! all Ik is if we keep the current trend up n getting blown out how we gonna attract big time talent?? N your stupid theory of hawaii recruiting 20 good players is a joke! 5-10 a year wit solid back up at best. we are NOT USC or any major program! YET i pray

20 a joke? are you kidding me? Thats what it takes to run a successful program. 5-10 a year would leave your team super thin depth wise and turn over rate of good players leaving not good at all.

I am not judging quality players by stars. I am talking about how coaches do their homework and find players that fit their system.

Ex. Salas, Bess, Grice Mullins, Pilares were not blue chip highly recruited players. But Jones did his homework and knew these players would pan out to be good. 20 might be asking too much but if you can hit 15-20 quality players per class, you have a chance to be a very good football team. The way our team functions now, one guy gets hurt, we are screwed. And injuries happen no matter what.

Yeah I’ll say it again. When you factor everything in it’s obvious to me we are losing because coach not wearing a lei and that’s causing bad mana.

in other words eh, so much unnecessary roughness n personal fouls going on on coach n the players n even players that don’t play us-and I’m guilty too, that I stepped back and saw the real problem is coach not wearing a lei….anyone who took my lei comment serious for the record … relax it was a lighthearted poke at all us armchair quarterbacks 🙂

I hopped off the bus cause get problem, checked the oil, kicked the tires and got back on the bus ready to go again… that’s all any of us “negative people” are doing.

Superstitious, ridiculous, meticulous that’s what fans are 🙂

Don’t want to jinx SDSU but here goes

SDSU – 35

UH – 21

GO WARRIORS!

GO DONNA!

I like Fonua back there. Put Vele back at linebacker too. These kind of years are good for finding young guys who can play, who have heart no matter the score. I’m behind Chow, but man let’s try someone else at QB. SS is going to get killed out there. He got no moves and a slow release. UH might be better with a a gimmick offense, pistol, option, something that is just not mano a mano, as Curren likes to say. When they be bigger and stronger than you, mano a mano ain’t gonna work. If Norm can get big guys who can play, then we’ll see about his system.

like i said we are hawaii not USC, Texas, FLorida n have quality recruits jump in our laps!

I guess everyone is watching Tony Romo.

I feel sorry for Coach Chow. His job isn’t easy.

And Schroeder, too.

I wonder if either of them wishes he had stayed put on the mainland…

After all, who needs this kind of stress? People are so damn cruel.

And quit slamming the green backdrop.

It doesn’t bother me one bit.

The green backdrop is not even the shade of green UH uses.

171.. So you assume 10 freshman play every year? come on. Out of 25 scholarships, you want to hit 5-10 quality players? Way to shoot for success..

Thank you, I’ve just been searching for info approximately this topic for a long time and yours is the greatest I’ve came upon so far. But, what about the bottom line? Are you certain concerning the supply?|What i don’t realize is if truth be told how you’re not actually a lot more smartly-favored than you may be right now. You are very intelligent.

# 158 Manoa

very well thought out post. i too agree with you. we need to get our skilled players more involved. stretch the field before the play! this will open up so much. if we continue to bunch, we are going to get killed.

use stutz, davis and miah or ausie kid. i think they are the strength of our offense! CHOW, USE THEM. stop being so stubborn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems there are 2 guys that stand out and want to play:

defense: EDWARDS

offense: STUTZMAN

my hats off to both these true warriors.

everyone else needs to learn from these to young men

from dee maggitt: “To all the fans: please bare with us, were gonna work harder than ever. Were going to right the ship… “

I wish all our defensive recruits who initially signed over the past 2-3 years was here. Our defense would be deep, especially at linebacker. Check out if all these names would have stick and stayed with UH. Some went on missions, some did not qualify, some went JC route, some are grayshirting, some haven’t made it here yet, some quit or whatever etc… If they all would’ve stayed, do you think our recruiting is that bad. Some of these names are big time players…

#183…

Those numbers aren’t telling the true story. A lot of those passes are short routes that are easy completions, yet he is still throwing only around 50%. We have abandoned the run pretty much most of the second half of these past couple games giving him more opportunity, but again the job ain’t getting done. Only around a 50% completion rating 6 TD’s in 4 games and 5 INT’s as well. Check the 3rd down conversion rating. Check how many passing plays we have pass 10 yards or first downs. If you look closer, you’ll see he is mediocre at moving this offense down the field. We haven’t scored a TD in 6 quarters of football. I mean he was doing okay during the first half of the Nevada game and then second half was a different story. I think he throws a nice ball but he is frustrating to watch as he just is not mobile and doesn’t get that ball out quick enough. During the games I’m yelling at the screen for him to get rid of the frikkin ball or run. If Coach is sticking with Schroeder than he needs to do something to help him out cause he is getting killed every game and killing us too.

Jeezy those r pretty good names but u also gotta remember a “good” recruit wont typically become a stater usually until his junior year so we still have sometime to tell. I mean we only got rid of junes top recruits wat 2 years ago?? I dont know why but mack couldnt get his bigs. 11th hour oregon took away keliikipi amongst others. 2008 i defenitely think was a bad year i think u forgot alex dunnachie 2009 u forgot kamalani alo whos gonna b a play maker, mike wadsworth (transfer)2010 bubba p., calen friel and dustin elisara 2011 kendrick VA, mike seller, ellis henderson(transfer) and i think lance williams gonna b a stud,. N when i say 5-10 good players i mean play makers/studs. the other guys are jus back ups n solid special teams players. So what im saying if you get a solid recruit basis where u get 5-10 solid recruits each giving typically 2-3yrs to develope can you lose and not have solid backups??

Schroeder’s numbers are hugely inflated by the Lamar game and are misleading. He hasn’t been terrible but he has NO mobility and has a wind-up throwing motion that has his ball hang up there sometimes. Let’s give graves a shot, he’s paid his dues.

I, too, think David deserves a chance to show what he can do and not just mop up duty handing off the ball… Players perform differently under game time conditions.

the cup boards r bare arguement is bull! we have the people. yes we are young but no way we should be getting blown out and we should at the very least put in a team that can compete at anytime. if chow is a guru… why is he not tailoring his offense to his strength of players?? And the biggest BS line i heard from him is that the running game keeps the offense on the field gives help to his defense when really it should be having his offense on the field no matter run or pass to move the chains helps his defense

I think you need to strive for 15-20 good recruits give or take. Then, what really separates the good teams from great teams as far as HAWAII goes is when we have that special QB like Colt Brennan and a few play makers who can really make things happen. Lets remember, The good Nevada, Boise, Utah and other non BCS schools at the time had a special QB to go with a few play makers that made things happen. Yes I know Boise and Utah BCS wins had special defenses too but I don’t expect us to get on that sort of level. But you never know. If Norm can bring in a special QB , maybe Graham is it, and give us a few play makers, I think we can get back on track sooner than later.

DC better rethink his defensive schemes.

make***

If, over the next few years, we find that we cannot recruit the kind of player we need to play the pro style with 8-10 wins and get ranked… what then? What kind of coaching do we look for? Will MRC take the hit for Chow’s hiring or Freitas, or JD?

if newly appointed FBS schools can compete with NEVADA and only lose by 13 points, why can’t we?! Texas State is only in its first year as a D1 football program and had the lead over NEVADA 21-20 at the half. Texas State eventually lost 34-21, but they competed. a lot of folks here make lame excuses, we young, new coach, schemes etc… whatevas. getting blown-out by 45 and 47 points is ok with some folks here.

BTW- Texas State played NEVADA right after us.

Schroeder HAS been terrible, but Chow has been and apparently will continue to be worse.

Norm C how I can make a mess of this team as a stubborn coach.

Reminder last year BYU beat UH, 41-20. Both Graves and Shane Austin played. Passing yards 282, net rushing yards was 17 (44 yds gained -27 yds lost). Ross Apo (BYU) caught two TD passes.

UH was leading 6-0 after the first quarter …13-10 at the half .

i’ll stick with shroeder.

what can you do when you dont have receivers that can separate.

what can yo do when because of that, you have to sit and wait for the pattern to ripen.

you need to remember, chows offense is all about throwing to spots on the field that should be open…and that of course is going to make shroeder wait in the pocket with no real other choice until he sees a receiver near the spot where the ball should go…and that also explains why his eyes are glued on a receiver.

run and shoot….receivers decided on the fly where to go, they had options, broke hard, and the quarterback delivered. in chows offense, the quarterback has to wait until a receiver gets to a certain spot or seem.

in my opinion shroeder is handcuffed by receivers inability to get into the right seem or spots in a short amount of time with enough separation. and that would hurt any quarterback.

i say cut shroeder some slack, the kid proved he can play against SC. in my opinion, it’s the receivers as a unit who have not as to this day proved they can play. compound that with a weak and problematic O-line, and yeah, it would make any quarterback look terrible.

A quarterback that can scramble can help create some separation for his receivers just by being a dual threat. A Qback in motion causes the defensive back guarding the potential receiver to hesitate and that hesitation can create separation.

20 of 25 aka 80%

Coach Tomey ran the typical 2 back pro set offense back in the late 70’s/early 80’s.

A HOUSE

I was channel surfing and saw a Korean drama (soap?) tonight on Channel 5.

Is this a daily or weekly show – and about how many chapters are there?

Available in DVDs? And the name?

Thanks

I will cut Schroeder a some slack based on how the offense is supposed to run but he is not helping the cause regardless. A good QB can move the defense with his eyes as well as with his feet. He does neither very well. There are times when the receivers will get jammed here and there and the Oline will break down but the QB can still make the play and has the backs that can release as well as the TE to use as a check down receiver. The offensive passing game does not revolve around throwing to spots on the field. There are timing routes where Schroeder is supposed to put the football where the receiver should go but that is not what the offense is based on. The way the offense is supposed to work, is by running the ball to set up the pass. With the two backs split side by side it’s supposed to make the defense guess on which gap the backs will run to keeping the D on their toes. When the running game is moving the ball it then makes the defense have to respect the run and play action by pulling the safeties in closer to the line and leaving the middle of the field open for deep throws. Plus, with the two backs split it gives Schroeder more time to throw the ball as they can pick up the outside blitz. Ultimately this is the way the offense is meant to function. The problem we’re having is that the run game is not as effective as we want it to be. So without an established running game the offense is put in a difficult situation to have to throw more than we want to. Defenses are keying in on this and thus making it easy to stop our offense from progressing up the field.

This is getting boring. The same points being made over and over and over….

Some of you think Anae was dirty. Check out Ohio State. Coach sent tapes of a Michigan or Michigan State trying to gouge the eyes of one of his players. In the tape is also shows the OSU player with his hands inside the players facemask. Also an OSU player was suspended a game for choking an opposing player in a pile up.

What’s boring is the whining and pointless talk about things other than Hawaii football!

Really thank you! Awesome.’s a Really thank you! Want more.
