Yes, I threw "or kicker" in there to try and show that I was being sarcastic since that just happened last week.Song was in uniform last week and didnt play. Morris also. Did I miss sarcasm?

I couldn't disagree more. But that's cool.
Edit: let me add to this - I assume you watched the OU game last weekend and agree that OU went conservative on offense wen they knew game was in hand and their defense had control? Are you able to relate that to the game against UT? Frogs didn't need another point. UT wasn't going anywhere. And if you don't think so you should go back and watch the game. 9 yards rushing. 8 sacks.

I think drops are an indication our receivers have lost faith in the qb's ability to get them the ball.
A terrible poster continually pointed out that UT was going to be a struggle. I called him out on it because it wasn't a struggle. Then another poster said it was a struggle because the score was relatively close. I was only pointing out that UT wasn't a struggle. I used OU as a comparison to make a point because it's relevant. We didn't struggle with UT. OU didn't struggle with us. Nothing more. I'm saying the same thing you are.Not sure where this fits into the conversation, but I agree that both OU and TCU went very careful offensively in the 2nd halves of both games because they weren't concerned about the other team scoring on their defense. Don't think that can really even be debated.
That's exactly the problem though, the fact that Oklahoma wasn't concerned about us scoring very much on their VERY average defense speaks a lot about our offense. It wasn't like our game with UT in which the offense/defense mismatch was so evident. Oklahoma's defense has been like a sieve for the better part of this year and they were also really banged up in the secondary, and we still couldn't really take advantage of it. That's not good.
Yes, I'm sure that's it. They see a ball coming right at them and have time to think "oh man, he finally got it to me," which breaks their concentration and causes them to drop it. It's gotta be either that, or some sort of undetectable devil-spin that Kenny puts on the ball.
Maybe this group, as a whole, just isn't great at catching footballs, as they've consistently shown for two seasons now.
It's really not that far fetched a theory. It's like in basketball, it's much easier to make a free throw when you've been playing all game, are into the flow, and have already had several FT attempts in the game, versus coming off the bench cold. And in baseball you hear all the time about how it takes a special kind of hitter to pinch hit because it's hard to come off the bench cold and have good timing, etc.
I don't see why the same thing wouldn't apply to catching footballs.
Sounds like you're talking about the WR's rotation too much, which is a lot different than "the WRs have lost faith in the QB's ability to get them the ball."
I could believe that there's something to rotating too much/not getting in the flow of the game, but a WR dropping a very catchable ball because there's some sort of underlying lack of faith in the guy that put the ball on them is just a ridiculous thought.
I'll say this - and I'm not in favor of a QB switch simply for the sake of change - if Robinson can hit receivers over the middle, that would be a valuable change, even if it's only for a few series.
Also heard Chip Kelly talk about a cadence of execution and how the challenge was getting every unit (QBs said:In any game like this with a new qb (assuming mostly SR), I'm bracing myself for a fumbled snap and extra illegal motion/delay of game or two.
The heavy rotations haven't helped either, but I disagree with you on the idea that having confidence in the ball being in the right place has no bearing on the chances of a WR catching a ball. Using another basketball anology, if a shooter coming around a screen knows the ball is going to be delivered on time right where he wants it, his odds of making the jumper increase because all he has to focus on is his footwork and his shot. If he's not quite as confident in the ball being where it needs to be, he first has to concentrate on just catching the ball. It definitely can throw off the timing and rhythm of the shot. You hear players talk up PGs ability to do this all the time and how much it helps them as shooters.
Haha. Somebody said we are a three yards and a cloud of dust team this year. Well, he's right. We throw a sideways pass to the flat and then hope our 160lb receivers can kick up a cloud of dust blocking for the 160lb receiver who caught the pass.Agree. As I jokingly posted on another thread, I'm pretty sure Kenny isn't allowed to throw the ball over the middle of the field. We have completely abandoned the 10-20 yard pass over the middle of the field.
I suddenly feel an urge to photoshop a Mortal Kombat Fatality...
