OK, Steven Krajewski Did What He Had To Do When The Opportunity Presented Itself.

You can't be great when coaches don't let you throw it...and put Mensah in. Second half was a disgusting example of hanging on to win instead of using your best players to finish it out.
The kid has lots of talent. They decided to play clock instead of talent. It almost cost us a win. Don't you dare put this on Krajewski. He played just fine. Play calling sucked. Especially in the second half.

Agree with play calling! Everything going on is a mystery ship!
We have heard nothing about TP since Vandy but he appeared today suited up on the sideline.
 
Also, Spencer Rattler listed as a “co starter” tonight. This kids got the biggest ego in CFB and I guess the coach is willing to stroke it.
 
To me it seems like he doesnt get enough velocity on the WR screens. This gives the defenders a little more time to react and get off their blocks. It may also result in one being pick 6'ed someday. I wish they'd scrap those plays altogether unless the d is playing so soft it guarantees at least 5 yards.

Nothing ever comes from it except negative yards

I get he isn’t strong with the swing passes my thing is why continue to call them? Call plays to his advantages. And after one bad pass you see people say the kid sucks bench him blah blah when other players get hell of excuses made for them. And im sorry three starts isn’t a lot of exp with a whole year off and three different OCs since he’s been here

One bad pass? Out of the probably 30-35 passing attempts he only had like 3 good passes, the rest were over thrown, under thrown or behind the WRs. We were not watching the same game. Even the announcers were just wow at how badly inaccurate and inconsistent he was. I’ll give you the sophomore, 4games excuse but the kid didn’t have one bad pass.

Geez, enough with pouring on the kid. Tom Brady would have a hard time behind this O-Line. They are young and really struggle to block right now. Kid had a pretty good game. I suspect when TP is ready to go he'll be back in there. Some of you are insufferable.

Purdue always seems to upset someone this time of year. Good for them. I love it.

I also think Iowa is overrated. Penn State was taking it to them until their QB got hurt. That was the only reason Iowa won that game.

That's known as throwing a perfect pass.

He is by far the best passer on the team. Trying to throw shade on a 60-yard TD is strange indeed.

Right like he kid you did your job. Some boneyardian haters well he almost over threw it ‍♂️
 
it reminded me of leads I had seen in the past when they tried to run the game out before they had the other team knocked out as they kept letting them off the canvas.

UConn needs another play caller and if we see the wide receiver screen I will be teed off. It hasn't worked, then stop using it

Realist not insufferable … but let’s not get so sensitive.

Today didn't suggest that Steven Krajewski is the guy to lead the team next year but it reinforced why we need a new OC and HC to run the offense.

Of course anybody with a brain could have figured out by now he is a better vertical thrower than quick screens and 2-6 yard outs. If you put the kid under center, run out of play action sets which allows backs to hit the line faster, draws up LBs, he would be fine. But we insist on running delayed zone read runs, throwing horizontally, and making the kid do what he doesn’t do well. He isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed on reads, but he can produce if you use the tools he has properly.

Biggest question I have. Did our offensive play calling change so much from Vandy to now due to a belief that Krajewski couldn’t run it or due to the fact that Mazzone left?

While we had a few flashes of creativity today, there was still way too much super short, side to side plays where Yale was able to stack the box, press cover and blow up our offense on a regular basis.

Let’s go up tempo the whole game. Krajewski is best that way. I’d love to see a whole game of hurry up, shot gun offense with some Carter mixed in.

Exactly that’s what he’s more comfortable with. Fast pace that is why he came here to play in the fast pace lashlee offense

I could not have said it any better sir. Our coaches needed to open up the playbook instead of leaving it in the locker room at halftime

Look, we all know the dudes your homeboy but, as pointed out, he is very inconsistent. That said, I give him credit for all the good stuff and I can put up with the bad. He is who he is and he is our only viable option right now. He’s playing at a higher level than anyone here (in the yard, I mean) ever did, so you shouldn’t feel the need to constantly defend him. He’s playing with one hand tied behind his back with this O-line and coaching staff, but I love his guts and grit, because l think he’s also playing hurt right now. That speaks volumes about him as player and a teammate. He is a team player….big time.

Is it just me or does Steven Krajewski throw a nice ball for a touchdown. Then after that it seems like his game falls apart. There are throws I see from him and say man he is great. Then he totally gets away from his game and throws a interception or holds the ball too long for a sack. I was wondering if any others see this in him.
Expand ...
I can agree with this see a ball that’s phenomenal then couple plays later you say is that the same kid? One your not going to be perfect everytime but to me that’s a reflection of coaching. And he’s going more off of raw talent and the Poetential a lot of schools saw in him as a senior
 
SK completed close to 2/3 of his passes today, is at 56 % ytd while TP is at 48% completion.
 
The OC needs to help the QB out. A typical west down is Carter to the right side of the line on 1st down. A wide receiver screen on 2nd( both plays take up 30 seconds of clock) and then the OL can't pick up a blitz or the QB doesn't have enough time and we have an incompletion or short of the downs play and the D is on the field in about a minute of game time. Rinse, repeat.
I believe in offensive play progression where you could run 3 wr screens but on the 4th you fake the screen and have a blocker slip downfield for a down field pass. Or run Carter a few times and the pro or play action pass to a TE down a field or a WR crossing behind the line backers.
Moyseenko and Giufre don't understand how to help any if our QB's. The result is what you see week in and out after Mazzone left

He threw so many bad, inaccurate passes in the first half I'm sure they were coaching in mortal fear of the pick 6.

For the remainder of the season, with the possible exception of MTSU, we won't have to worry about protecting leads late in games by resorting to turtleball.

True. I think the comment I made somewhere, including maybe earlier in this thread, is he has learned to make his missed passes go to the wrong side of a possible pic. Comparison I made was a pitcher who needs to hit the corners learning it has to be corner or outside the plate for a ball. Miss to the middle of the plate and MLB hitters will feast. Same thing. He has to learn to throw where it's either a completion or it's an inomplete pass.
 
Steven Krajewski was #40 out of the top 50 QB’s for the week. I can’t imagine how much better he could be if:
1. Rhett Lashlee was still here
2. Was given a fair shot by RE
3. Had not broke his collarbone
4. Better play calling
I believe if any one of the above circumstances didn’t occur he would’ve developed into a much better QB. I’m hoping that he stays healthy and can get some plays to help the team put some points on the board.
