The more I listen to OU football talk, the angrier I get. Apparently, after 4 full weeks of offensive suck, the offense will now to go run, pass, or play action. That is a no-brainer. What pisses me off is they forced JFA into that garbage all RPO system long enough to ruin him. Not fair to that kid. Hope Hawkins takes this and runs with it and hope the lack of RPOs helps the OL somehow. OU did JFA dirty. Sure, he was terrible on Saturday and hasn't been awesome as the starter. Also true, Seth's offense SUCKS and that isn't fair to the kid, especially if they change it for the new guy.
I read the Jackson Team insisted on the RPO being included after Lebby left
I understand. I also understand as a coach you have to realize things ARE NOT WORKING and make changes. It should have been apparent to those guys that the RPO was killing EVERYTHING and they should have gone to a standard offense to see if that helped the kid. If they struggle with decisions...why give them MORE?
Unsure how I feel about this. Was there a spark on Saturday? Yes. Was JFA atrocious? Also yes. Did JFA get screwed by the scheme? Undeniably.
It is my opinion that if their idea is Hawkins ability to Lamar Jackson the game is going to be the saving grace, that is likely fool's gold. If he's that much better at quick decision making, then that is something to hang your hat on.
This video (the guy has done one with Jackson, Damonic Williams, and R Mason) is proof that BB is not doing his job. Why? Simple, this staff has improved the D by improving the DL through recruitment and development. The OL has not developed a player not named Creed Humphrey or Anton Harrison in about 5 years. I don't want to hear about BB's transfers who struggled mightily at OU. They were not developed, they floundered at OU. Heck Guyton couldn't even PLAY at OU at the end of last season! Oh, sure...BB developed him. Riiiiiiiight. BB is as big a part of this offensive failure as Seth or JJ. Shoot, I'm not sure ANYONE on this offensive staff has a clue what they are doing. WRs are midgets, RBs have no vision and don't understand the run schemes (half of them can't pass protect), TEs only catch passes, OL has been discussed and they can't even figure out who they are to block. What a burning trash pile.

Offensive cohesion...which starts with being able to just run the damn ball. You can't have a back rip off a 17 yard run then finish 10 for 10 in the game.
While the down block is monstrous, I'm more concerned with the lack of awareness by the QB and the lack of any sort of humanly contact by 10. QB NEEDS TO cut back and 10 NEEDS TO turn up and Hawkins will walk in. These guys just don't get it.

We have a lot of weak-links in the chain. It's more like a "barrow of monkeys".
Soooo...why TF did JFA NOT get the same treatment? They're gonna ruin him, kick him to the curb, then CHANGE things to make them EASIER for the next guy? WT-actual-F?
