First impressions of Ryan Grubb

[TideEngineer08]

Unimpressed.

The 3-3-5 for most major programs has passed its time. Read Chris Brown’s analysis of it in Smart Football. It’s fairly easy to scheme for it especially running the football. Granted, though, our OL looked weak yesterday to say the least. So, I’m inclined to give him a break for that (somewhat). For me the next few weeks will be telling. The talent is there but will be coached up?

haven't we known this since the Joe Lee Dunn days?

All I saw was an uninspired team get owned by freeshoes. That falls on the coaches. Intensity is the name of the game and not sure this staff inspires that attitude. So, I am fine with the scheme but you really have to fire up the intensity week in and week out or games like yesterday are going to populate the schedule with losses all season long.

I think he needs to watch some of his old UW tape and remember that he's back in college, and he'll be fine.

I think the fear in this situation is the question of to what degree his success and DeBoer's success is owed to Penix? These guys were just 12-6 at Fresno St, so either way we're going to get a good look at what they look like without Penix.

Mind you, I wanted Grubb as the OC because this is DeBoer's guy, he got hired because of his success at Washington, but you want him to have as many of the weapons he had there as possible.

We'll see how it goes, but one thing I desperately want both he and DeBoer adjust to is the need to have a running game in the SEC. The tend to let the RB have the ball on less than 40% of the plays, I'm not sure that's sustainable long-term and they won't always have an early first round pick at QB to lean on.

Yep.

Yep. We had some pretty impressive defensive performances last year with that same scheme.

Seahawks Offensive Coordinator Ryan Grubb: Lack Of Run Game Is ‘100 Percent On Me’

I think someone posted that our rushing yards were the fewest for an opening game since the 70's????

The 60s, technically. 1970.

Given what CKD, Grubb, Wommack, and these coaches are making, I think the local authorities should consider fraud charges.

I'd give Grubb an incomplete. Kane Wommack on the other hand......

 

[Bamabuzzard]

Grubb is out of his league just like DeBoer is. They're west coast coaches not SEC coaches.

 

[CoolBreeze]

Grubb is out of his league. He's a west coast coach

Does that not apply to most of the staff?

They're all over their heads.

 

[UntouchableCrew]

I don't think the issue is "coaching" from a scheme/play calling standpoint.

I think the issue is "coaching" in terms of physicality and identity.

The entire staff looks lost during competitive games.

Never mind

 

[AussieTy]

I thought he started with some good calls but as we went away from the script it went to mud.

I don't feel as if he did enough to get Ty comfortable and in rhythm. Just felt like too often on 2nd and long the expectation from Grubb was that Ty was going to be able to distribute it consistently 20 yards downfield. I thought some of the play calls in short yardage situations left a lot to be desired. 3rd and short/medium and we have just one route within like 15 yards.

I think the poor performance of the O line is mainly to blame because the run game was largely ineffective and it was evident that Grubb was relying on that to open up the pass game.
