OLDIUFAN Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 I mostly watch the football games on TV. I get very critical of all the under passes we throw. The camera usually just shows the pocket until the ball is thrown. So I am wondering, is DeBord calling for all these short passes or is Ramsey always checking down to these throws?

Indykev Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Debord...both. What I hate is we need 5 yards for the first down and we throw that 3 yard pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Ramsey and the receivers got to know how much yardage is required. Don't they? Run routes that will pick up the 1st down...throw passes that will pick up the 1st down. Do something!!!

OLDIUFAN Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 I was watching the replay of the Purdue game. The announcers said that of the first 59 plays Indiana had only 2 plays that where longer then 15 to 20 yards. That’s a problem, if we don’t change OC then what! What’s the offensive line going to look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Definitely both. The monkey DeBord uses to randomly pick plays doesn't do a very good job, and Ramsey is afraid to air the ball out. Its like Ramsey is afraid of forcing a ball on 3rd and long. He seems to think its better to throw a 3 yard pass to a covered receiver on 3rd and 7 with almost no shot of getting the first than to try to make something happen with one of our bigger receivers 10-15 yards down the field. It would be one thing if we dumped off to Rondale Moore, but we don't have a guy we can get it to who can make guys miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosiertildeath Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 It is my understanding that Ramsey was recovering from a shoulder injury and was never 100 percent healthy I believe Old Fish mentioned that on one or more of the radio broadcasts !! Fish said that affected his long passes abiliy !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, and I still want changes at both OC and starting QB regardless of who said what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I think it really showed in yesterday's PU game. Auburn aired the ball out and destroyed them down the field. We dinked and dunked and didn't take advantage of their week defense. The talent is there on offense with Penix, Tuttle, Scott, James, Walker, Hale, Westbrook, Taylor, Whop 🤤. I'm drooling at the possibilities. Just need a QB AND an OC to take advantage of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
