Corey Coleman

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
This all comes down to Kizer's decision making. Yes Kizer made the play to get the ball to Coleman but gave up a higher percentage play in running in open space for 2 yards. Coleman makes the catch the drive keeps going and we might not even remember it. Same goes for Kizer running for 2 yards.

Kizer just didn't make the proper decision in the moment and that's his fault all season. You can't count on him to make the right decision.
I keep seeing people say Kizer passed up a sure and easy run to the first down marker. I went back and watched that play, did slow motion and stop action. There was 3 defenders between Kizer and the first down line. Maybe he could have gotten through them but probably not. Then the same people would be crucifying Kizer for not throwing to Coleman.

FWIW Josh Gordon was also wide open and would have been a much easier target, and he would have waltzed into the end zone.

Yeah, Kizer was awful this year. The question is how much of that is on Kizer and how much of that is on Hue utterly failing to develop him or structure an offense around his strengths and weaknesses. The answer probably lies somewhere in the middle. A good coach probably would have played to his strengths and had him looking at least poor to acceptable, which would have been an improvement over abysmal.

As I mentioned above, you have to factor in that, when he got a nice target volume, he tended to produce. Because if you're getting ten to twelve targets and only 40% of them are catchable, you're still getting four or five catchable balls a game and you can work with that. When you're only getting five or six targets and 40% are catchable, suddenly you've only got one or two catchable balls to work with, and unless you connect on a long bomb you're just not going to put up big stats with that kind of volume/accuracy.
Hue could have simplified the offense and used the run, run option, and a shorter passing game to help Kizer out to be sure. Why he didn't is inexplicable.

But Kizer just totally shit the bed repeatedly when he had much better available options on so many plays, I kind of think he would have found ways to screw up even a dumbed down offense. I was down on his coach at Notre Dame but it turns out he was right about Kizer.

Having said that I also think Kizer might end up being a pretty good QB in another 2,3 or 4 years. His lessons learned this season will probably serve him well in his next bite at the apple.

He had two defenders with their knees down on the ground and one right next to a blocker. I think it was a higher percentage play to run it. Just the fact that we are debating it is a sign of how bad of decision making Kizer has. In a normal Kizer game this decision doesn't even fall into the top 10 of bad decisions. In this game where he played fairly well it might fall just outside the top 5 of bad plays.

I hope in the new season Coleman will justify my faith in him.
I'm his personal fan))
 
something is coming. JG's return is imminent or Dez signing.
 
Wow. I thought he was having a decent camp...

...so, we thinking at least a 3rd?
 
I'm more than a little curious about the timing.

They must be pretty confident Gordon's coming back and is going to be himself.
 
Hoping for a 3rd, expecting a 5th
Yeah, but two factors.

1) Receivers often take that 3rd year
2) He’s mostly been injured but he’s shown enough flashes to garner interest when healthy.

I’m thinking a third.
 
I’m hoping to this speaks — at least a bit — to what Callaway is showing. A vast majority of our offense will have 3 WR sets so it isn’t as if there wasn’t at least an opportunity for snaps.
 
One less "hit" for Sashi that was never a hit in the first place.

Good riddance.

I'm excited about Calloway, but Higgins needs more attention. He's been having a real nice camp.
