To Do List On Offense

[Knight Shift]

Without turning this into a pissing and moaning thread that Flood and the coaches suck, what fundamentally can Rutgers do (with Laviano as the starting QB) to generate some offense?

This is not in defense of Laviano or Flood or McDaniels, but why is pass blocking so poor? It does not seem the running backs or tight ends are blocking well.

Special teams has regressed . I don't like singling anyone out, but the Special Teams coach and the tight ends coach are the same coach. Is there a problem here?

I understand that the lack of a deep threat is going to cause defenses to stack the box to shut down our run game.

Please keep it objective.

The script to stop Rutgers offense is pretty clear; put 8 in the box to stop the run, blitz up the middle and you shut us down. Our receivers can't get off the line fast enough to disrupt that scheme.
The way you break the defense out of this scheme is have a burner who can get off the line fast, beat 1 on 1 coverage and have the QB float one out of him. Once that happens, the defense has to loosen up for coverage. But if you can't beat that tight coverage, you're dead. Rutgers is dead. When Carroo comes back, he'll break it.

For the future, I think it's time RU forget recruiting these tall receivers and go for some 6' burners.Just my opinion.

Is Grant so injured that he cannot get separation? I thought he was one of our fastest receivers?

You also need a QB that can get it to these burners fast (Rettig).

Get rid of weekly fumbled snap.

Is Grant even in half the time? We put in a lot off TEs, FB and slow WRs. We don't usually put in grant other than obvious 3rd and longs when we throw a screen to him. It's hopeless. We miss use our personal for the situation all the time...

As was mentioned in another thread, one of the major problems with the offense is the awful blocking from the FB and the TE in the running game. If you're going to run a pro style offense, you need effective blocking from those positions as well as the OL, which has only been adequate at best.

I'd say try to roll out Laviano as it seems the OL can NOT give him adequate time back there.

What concerns me also is the fact that every receiver we have not names Carroo seems incapable of getting any separation.

Laviano is inaccurate while throwing from a clean pocket. What makes you think he'll be accurate on the run on a rollout?

Grant is fast but doesn't seem to run very crisp routes. But in the case of Wisconsin, I believe Grant should have been in motion before the snap so he could get off the line fast.
And yes, we need a QB with a quick release. Rettig and Laviano both have quick releases. CL just doesn't have much zip on the ball.

Play action pass on first down.
