I think we're way over our skis. This team has problems

My observations so far this season

I’m 100% sure some will STRONGLY disagree
And I’m not saying I’m right you’re wrong at all just from my football POV

1. We are a pass first team — that doesn’t mean abandon the run - but in the past our run set up the pass (it’s not how I prefer it to be if I could “build” a team I would run run run then run some more trust me). BUT we’re going to have to pass first this year that’s just how it is whether we like it or not) (JMO) (More to say but I’ll quit there)
2. Gohlke has earned at least more snaps at QB (not saying he’s better etc etc etc) and I do like the idea of having two “equal” QBs I know the traditional thought on this and it seems to have started with a TV announcer somewhere saying you can’t have two QBs and people just repeat it but I don’t see the reasoning in it and it isn’t true in my opinion.
At the same time I’d like to see Ashworth on the field more with G at QB

Our strengths are - two very athletic QBs and secondary (forgot and 5-6 WRs who would start for most other teams (meant to say that first time around)
We have a star at RB it just hasn’t manifested itself yet unfortunately
I believe it will with a pass first offense

Oh yeah and penalties are killing us

(And play standard defense on 4 th down no punt returns )

Looks like most people are on the other thread for this game. I was too so I’ll just stick with it.

[NDNzeke]

Gohlke is playing more and it is paying off so far.

Totally reasonable and fair observation. This is the first season we’ve had to pretty much change our entire offense strategy and it doesn’t happen overnight but a weaker district schedule might be a blessing in disguise cause it should give us a chance to get things ironed out…hopefully!

Unfortunately TC is looking pretty good and they are next. However, I feel pretty good about that game after the way we turned things around in this one. TC and Nederland should be the only games in district play that present any real risk imo.

"At the same time I’d like to see Ashworth on the field more with G at QB." I couldn't agree with you more! Like I said in a previous post, Ash reminds me alot of Shea with his athletic abilities. And we rode that horse to back to back State games. I think I recall Shea's official position title was "Athlete", and that fit him just fine.
