WETSU Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I think Jimbo is doing everything he can at this point. I do not think he’s just drawing an easy paycheck and not adjusting. Now if he doesn’t hire a real OC this off-season then we start talking about whether or not he’s doing everything he can to win. But I don’t think a legitimate change can be made mid season. What he does in December/January will be big for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He for sure has a foot injury that kept him out of practice all week. Rib injury is unconfirmed. DB asked about playing a qb with a broken rib. Im just saying the rib might not be true.

Stoney Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 Jimbo has 6 opportunities to prove it’s the QB and not his system. You have a chance to silence some of the critics and get heat off of you if Weigman can come in and juice the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King gets you through the season with a struggling o-line and freshman talent at the skill positions. Weigman gives 6 games to figure out if he’s the answer and if the execution missing from Jimbo’s offense was the QB. I don’t think the QB is the problem with Jumbo's offense .... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would somewhat agree with this statement. Not that his scheme is totally terrible, but the fact that he has to do so many jobs, besides calling the plays, it would be better for him to bring in a young OC--teach him the offense, they work together, allow the OC to call plays next fall, with input from HC (as usual), and maybe straighten out some of the problems. Because pretty soon they will be playing Texas again, and it is the one game that I actually hope A&M wins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You become so focused on one aspect that you neglect the whole team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he still doesn't call the plays. That says a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s crazy about the way Jimbo does it is that most guys who do it end up being really good on the side of the ball they are on and the other side is neglected. Jimbo usually has a pretty solid defense but his offense is the weakest link. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have a solid QB who can make plays for you, I don't care what kind of weapons you have on offense. And defense can only do so much.

It’s time to see what Weigman can do and if he’s the answer for ‘23. I’d be a little worried if I’m putting him out there behind that o-line this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 Couple interesting notes from Tarp. - There’s been a lot of speculation about the future of the coaching staff outside of A&M boss Jimbo Fisher but at this point in time nothing is set in stone. Some people probably won’t be around after the end of the season and changes are most likely to happen be on the offensive side of the ball (which of course has been the least productive of the units so far this season) - Finally, any changes might just go beyond influences on the offensive side of the ball. Evaluations, the portal, how draft eligible players are handled…the program will be probably managed differently because that’s going to have to occur in order to attract the best players and coaches going forward.

Stoney Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 I hope whoever is brought in can look at our o-line situation. Recruiting seems to be a mixed bag. We can hit on 4*,5* talent but it’s more of a mixed bag when it comes to evaluating,coaching 3* talent. A good o-line can do wonders making an average offense better than it appears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
