yep...

ol' Blue Eyes

Taysom had major accuracy problems and wasn't as fast as he's been in the past.

SandYFan

9/19/17 9:42am

But maybe it's a little more obvious why he wasn't benched for Mangum

Indy Coug

9/19/17 9:44am

he wasn't benched for mangum b/c his perfectly sculpted legs could hide ty's

Tanner's drive against Utah that resulted in a missed field goal was as impressive, if not more so than

i considered that one in my analysis but still opted for beau's 2nd drive of

nashty

9/19/17 12:26pm

Tanner has several TD drives. Beau has none.

Adrielle

9/19/17 5:16pm

Yep. But honestly, who could have expected Tanner to take a nosedive

So you're saying you saw Tanner becoming what he showed in games 1-2? Really?

SandYFan

9/19/17 10:02am

I'm saying given his supporting cast and how tough the schedule was

Indy Coug

9/19/17 10:08am

Fair enough.

SandYFan

9/19/17 10:12am

Ty played terribly against FSU and PSU. But we should have won the UCLA game

Did I say he was great? Let me go back and read my post.

"Taysom was not the problem last year." Why not? Just because the team is

SandYFan

9/19/17 9:54am

He wasn't perfect, but it's pretty clear now that something else is the major

LifeLongLakerFan

9/19/17 11:53am

If if if.

SandYFan

9/19/17 12:42pm

With the way Hill is playing right now, we'd possibly be 4-0

MarylandFan

Good gravy.

SandYFan

1 TD per quarter to beat LSU. Wisc the reason for "possibly" word choice.

MarylandFan

This gets repeated so often, but do you know that it's true?

Wait a minute. Tanner's performance this year has been horrid, but don't

Ash

9/19/17 5:46pm

The primary reasons for the offensive struggles are simple. Lack of both talent and depth on the offensive line.

Adrielle

9/19/17 12:01pm

This is spot on. Tanner has very little pass protection. To be fair, we have

I watched every offensive play against Portland State and LSU again. I did not

its not just sacks allowed. Its time to throw. Its pocket integrity. And its the running game.

Adrielle

9/19/17 5:13pm

I've only rewatched the first 2 games, but

Iron Coug

9/19/17 9:35pm

Bingo. IMO it's a lack of talent at the skill positions that's the big problem.

Sadly, Burt didn't beat out any of the 1/2 yd and a cloud of dust RB committee.

BINGO

Bingo! What I said all of last year. Coaching staff road the coat tails of him.

Made me mad last year when Cougar 'fans' whined about Taysom not

BleedCougarBlue2

9/19/17 2:49pm

False. Taysom had an NFL RB to carry the offense. We never got to see what

Ash

9/20/17 6:23am

I don't think it's as easy as "false" to his statement.

Tuskaloosa Cougar

9/20/17 2:58pm

Well, it makes a huge difference as a QB to be required to carry the whole load.

Ash

9/20/17 8:34pm

Offensive line and receivers making bad reads/drops was 75%, taysom was 25%

youngbuck

9/19/17 12:48pm

An interesting post. Are you saying that we have the size and athleticism on the

JoMax

9/19/17 2:33pm

Nope 👎 offense is complex and requires multiple

youngbuck

9/19/17 6:54pm

Not to mention coming off 3 season-ending injuries.

Scott_Tenorman

9/19/17 3:31pm

Been saying this since last year. Thanks to Taysom and Jamaal last year

Jericho

9/19/17 3:51pm

Agreed. I was a big TH supporter last yr when he was taking so much heat on CB

jaba166

9/19/17 4:41pm

He seems healthier this year than last. Lighter and much faster

zerome4sooners

9/19/17 4:39pm

All of our opponents had to watch for him to run *every play*. They never have to do that now.

BluebloodOR

9/19/17 5:06pm

Did you ever stop to think...

PJMort

9/19/17 5:34pm

No considering very few pro set QBs make NFL rosters mostly come from spread

Bobmarleyjr

9/19/17 5:43pm

Hmmmm. Most colleges run the spread. Very few run pro set

PJMort

9/19/17 6:43pm

All the QBs but Kirk Cousins and Luck ran spread that are under 30

Bobmarleyjr

9/19/17 7:54pm

Sorry just read your number at the bottom. Only 5 of 15 did pro set in college

Bobmarleyjr

9/20/17 8:45pm

It makes me wonder what we missed from Taysom because of such a bad offense

Bobmarleyjr

9/19/17 5:42pm

Or better, as a seasoned veteran and JW at his side...

Jericho

9/19/17 5:46pm

Yeah always makes you wonder what could've been

Bobmarleyjr

9/19/17 5:51pm

3 pro prospects counting Matthews and Williams

KendoVABeach

9/19/17 6:32pm

Who is Matthews?

No touching

9/19/17 7:21pm

Is this Mitch? Wasn't with the team in 2016.

No touching

9/20/17 9:14am

All I know is I'm soooooo glad that Taysom made an NFL roster!
