Ever since 2010, our scheme has gotten more and more predictable. Specifically the running game. The stretch zone does not work against teams with 9 people in the box. Teams have also figured out how to get Iowa to run the play, by disguising a defense in order to get the QB to audible into the run, which appears to be 99.9999999999% of the time. Or better put, it's done enough that the odds are in the defense's favor to play the run to short side.
Teams literally point to the spot where the RB is going to before the snap. It's embarrassing to watch, let alone the worst offense, @#% boring.
Why can our coaches not see this? Why is it always blaming the players for not executing? 6 guys cannot block 9. And 5 guys cannot block 6/7 on these blitzes. Which is another scheming issues. Defenses know that if they show blitz, that the Iowa QB is going to check down. A few times we have burned teams with the TE up the seam, but obviously doesn't work enough to get us more points.
I don't know what attacking style of offense BF envisioned before the season, but we don't attack. We try 1-2 deep balls a game. If Stanley is to get better, he needs to try more. Or maybe instead of 50 yard throws, we try a few 20-25 come back or crossing patterns first? Where is the Play Action? Where are quick slants instead of sideways throws against blitzing? Of course our OL has to try and block 8 guys in order for there to be time
I'm sure BF may want to try and mimic he New England offense, but it's not gelling with his dad's idea of a running game.
Guess it's just frustrating to watch year after year of a offense that doesn't appear to know what it's doing. Or an offense that is already behind the 8 ball because the defense knows what's coming.
The only option is for KF to get out of the offense entirely. Allow his coaches to scheme what they think is appropriate instead of ramming our RB's into brick walls for 3 Q before trying to open up.
