Why Greg Schiano believes Rutgers QB Gavin Wimsatt is ‘on a good trajectory’

Well, it beats a bad trajectory. Thanks Greg
I'm pretty stoked about a Wimsatt / Brown IV backfield. Power RPOs up the ying yang is what I would be running.
The OL isn’t strong enough to create holes vs B1G defenses
Especially with a dismal passing game
No interceptions (not 0 but way less this year) and no major injuries to the backfield and we may be alright. Somehow we led Big Ten champions Michigan at halftime. If stupid Gleeson ran Sam Brown against Nebraska instead of throwing the picks we win that game and probably go bowling at 5-7. We’re not ready to compete for the B1G but we’re not as far off a bowl as you might think, if we can limit the picks and stay healthy at RB.
I don’t know that Gavin is the answer but it’s too early to dismiss him. Need to see him with healthy legs
but not impossible.
He has potential, just needs to start making the most of his talent.
KC as OC might find a way for Wimsatt to unleash his potential and prove to be a good QB.
I see a lot of 3 and outs and while the offense is sipping Pina Coladas on the sidelines all game long, the defense puts up a valiant, Custers last stand. But the onslaught proves to be too much to overcome as the offensive Cavalry led by General Wimsatt is nowhere to be found. But hey, I got the parking I wanted so it's not all doom and gloom.

I hope we remember that for a running QB to be a legit threat he has to keep the ball and make yards reasonably often. And that will check the pass rush a bit and maybe give him room to throw... as well as help our RBs make yards when he gives it to them.
I was critical of what I saw from Vedral in that regard. He was one tough QB, gutsy, but he seemed to predetermine give or keep on his QB runs and not make actual reads in the RPO . I say this because of how many times I thought he should have headed that off or kept it. There were times, of course, that he guessed right or where he was screwed either way.. blown-up OL for teh handoff with a DE/LB keying on him as well.. but too often, it seemed, he was just guessing.. not reading.
And, of course, being a legit passing threat is needed as well. Otherwise they just play man everywhere and have safeties largely in run support or covering the TE in man.
Execution. It all comes down to "repetition" as GS said. Reliable execution.

I will change it for our professor of English. Thank you, for proofreading everyone's posts. Your tireless efforts will not go unnoticed by me.
You are welcome. After all, this is a university-centric forum. Intelligence matters here. Were this a wacko conspiracy site where Colbert, BAC and others opine, I'd let it go.
I expect better from this audience.
I'd also let it go if it were Al's usage: too much brain dysfunction to bother.
I'm not 100% sure but I think someone just tried to insult me. :) :) :)
p.s. This is the one and only message board where I opine.
The wild knight ????
I mean it was better than gleeson’s langan package
What we've seen is a kid APPEAR in 12 games in his entire career including his starts where his best running back was injured and did not play. I think we also sometimes forget that he isn't even 20 years old yet and is working with his third OC in three years. I think that he's going to have a good year if he can stay healthy with all of our OL question marks.
If he stays healthy . The odds not in his favor .
Simon and Gavin will both be starting this season
To me, it's not about Wimsatt's talent or potential. It's the stubborn, 1950 punt on 4th and inches from plus territory philosophy that doomed the program on the day he was hired. Why would talented skill guys come here at all and die on the vine ? Word gets around. So instead we get DII transfers and Maine and Sacred Heart post-grad guys.
Very few defensive HCs populate the Top 30 at any given time, and those who do are imaginative and less controlling, or have 95th percentile talent (Saban).
Doesn't matter who the QB is, the philosophy is a cancer.

Barely. Not calling more passes out of that formation was a spectacular waste of Sanu's talent.
Not a coincidence that I cited SH. A scant few make it, but this isn’t the transfer talent pool to draw from to compete in the Big10, especially at skill positions.
That was all big Ralph. Only time we've ever had a real OC. Friedgen made that offense and was a steal for Flood. Too bad Ralph saw that his head coach was a loafer and going to Counting Crows concerts instead of working like everyone else. Best line I ever heard, "Flood liked the idea of being a head coach, just not the work required to be one".
We don't use the O part of RPO. The decision is made in the huddle.
Or by staring at the sideline until the play clock ticks down to 3 seconds. Teams that run the RPO effectively actually teach their players to read what the defense is doing.

I'm not sure player autonomy is one of Greg's strengths.
