this team?
I could care less about 'amount of work', 'amount of research'. I want someone that knows what to do with the talent they have and Howell is NOT IT. You are wrong Bronco, because Howell is your resident brown-noser. Why? Because he has to be, because he is NOT QUALIFIED or experienced enough to figure out what to do with the talent he has and when opposition throws him a curve or knuckle ball.
Bronco relies too much on his 'base scheme' to cover for perceived athletic weaknesses 'in the program'.
Howell has effectively 'de-fanged' our Defense by telling them they have to play the pansy-passive 'bend over' defense. Let our guys play more press and bump at the line because 15 yard cushions sure aren't working.
Forcing your DBs to play off the line of scrimmage so far 'screams' to them that you don't trust them to make plays (Jordan Johnson excepting).
USU's OL 'max protected' with 5 OL and many times 2 TEs because Weber (ironically) knew Howell's Zone Coverage scheme would allow the TWO receivers to roam and get open if given enough time for the QB, which is exactly what Weber's (USU) OL/TEs did and Howell could not adjust to that? It was clear as day, but he KEPT with his 'base scheme' because he does not know anything else. Pathetic!!
