Does DG stare down receivers or does he just have half field reads?

Wow. that's great to hear. We're in a pretty good position at WR next year, even with Harris (and probably Davis) leaving.
Everyone has the same feeling every time a receiver leaves. It will be next man up again. Hall and Perriman gave way to Akins and Tre’Quan Smith, gave way to Snelson and Davis and Nixon who will give way to the next line of receivers. It happens every couple years.
Cool, will have to give it a listen... does he talk at all about receiver routes being based off coverage pre-snap at all?
I.E. everything really being a option route for the most part.
If DB is playing 8 yards off LOS, run a hitch/curl or even a slant vs. if he's in press we're running a go?
Something I want to do is go back and chart corner depth on every pass play and see if anything comes of it.
He goes into it a bit about how the routes are based on reads and option routes. And there are not always set plays. A QB and receivers will make reads based on what defense is giving them. Definitely worth a listen.
Listening now... kind of what I assumed just from watching especially with some of the miscommunications kind of making it obvious. But, will definitely be great to listen to Colubiale explain it better than I can haha
It’s around the 50 minute mark they talk with him I think.
Jeff Lebby.........
As the season has gone along, right now it seems like he's got a half-field reads. He's looking to one side of the field. As the season goes along, do you put more on his plate incrementally?
"It might seem like that because are real open on one side of the field and he's not having to get to the next one. We've got pretty good receivers. I think that's part of it too. He doesn't have to get to the third one because the first one is usually open. That's part of it too."
Probably the only answer we can really get on this, but Colubiale basically confirmed it, and it's pretty obvious if you look to see if it happens...
Really don't think it's that bad of a thing.. I think it's hurt him a couple of times this year, but more because the ball wasn't out on time
My next goal is to figure out the route options haha
Yes. DG many times stares down receivers. I hope that is just a freshman thing and that he will improve. I also see hope that he will learn to be a better runner/scrambler.
We have the #2 overall Total Offense. #5 Passing. #24 Rushing. All this while rolling out a true freshman QB and what looks to be a sub-optimal OL. Looking forward this next wave of players maturing and executing at a higher level.
Lebby defended young QB yesterday saying that the first option was open all the time.
Looks like he doesn't always see the full field but I believe he will improve.

Agree with you.......that said there are some folks who are OK with the current performance which is too much of a complacent well we still won the game attitude.....rather than the eye of the tiger........I miss the attacking champions from the last few years..........
I've only seen him staring on quick hitters. You can’t stare at the hot chick in the home stands and then come back to the visitors side and deduce and hit a quick slant or crossing route all in two seconds. That’s a lot of our passes. I’ve seen him decisively look off safeties on some of the longer developing downfield throws. And I’ve seen him fail to do that also on occasion. To me it seems he is aware of the technique needed and is capable. And of course he will get better at it. He is not a dumb drooling staring QB if that is the question. Differentiate the quick reads with the downfield throws. Off course if it is send Gabe long in spread vs single coverage with no safety over top then what the heck is the difference if you are staring or not.
All of our receivers should be running routes. What happens when the primary receiver falls down, is covered by a blanket etc. Then you are left with no other options. I don't know that I have ever seen an offense where receivers on one side run routes and the receivers on the other side take the play off. It seems ridiculous.
It's not uncommon. Baylor 2015 is the most notable example I know of. I dont know if it's a good idea or not. I haven't seen it in the NFL but they dont let them play as fast as we can in CFB so they're better rested regardless.
If the plan is to get the ball out quickly, it might not make sense to have everyone run routes.
sounds weird, sure, but if it’s for a purpose (such as to keep the other team from subbing while you prod the defense), I’m okay with it.
