Lots of finger point which happens when you lose games.
We probably have one of the best WR groups we have ever had. Big bodied guys with experience. Didn't say they are first round draft picks. We have experience, size and speed, not necessarily in the same package but who does? You have track guys, tall guys and lots of guys with good hands. Despite the few drops and the 50-50 balls that our guys didn't come down with, they have done a pretty good job. These guys have made some pretty amazing adjustments and catches despite the ones people seem to hold against them. Look what we started with last year and what we ended up with after the injuries. This year the guys who played after the injuries last year can hardly find the field. I suppose the coaches are just playing the wrong guys.
I am of the opinion that Raiola is having a difficult time adjusting as D's give him lots of different looks. tOSU didn't try to disguise coverage for the most part, they went man-to-man primarily. I don't see the big strong arm from Raiola that I expected to see. He likes to throw balls with touch and has since the first game despite Dr. Dingle's diagnosis. He doesn't seem to be finding outlets and hot route guys although he finally did Saturday. We have good hands at TE but not much of a down field threat, more a possession lumbering kind of guy. Whatever happened to a smaller fast guy in the slot that often had LB covering them?
I would say Sat doesn't impress me with his communication in press conferences. What I do know is, I can't recall any OC that the fans have said anything positive about since TO and that was hit and miss. People didn't like either of Frosts or Riley's and on and on it goes.
I still ask the same questions about play calling, what plays were sent in and which ones did the QB run and which ones did they ditch? What was the D doing to warrant the play? Does Raiola even understand his check downs at this point and what options he has available. There is a lot going through his young head and the learning curve is step.
