SpeedFlex27 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Just now, 66 Chevelle said: of course not, Lapo will call the very same game that he does every game, however, it may not work this time because Calgary undoubtly will see it coming this week... would you believe that Lapo basically called the same game for Collaros that he did for Streveler against Calgary? two completely different style of QBs, yet the same game plan called... Not surprising. LaPo treats every qb the same. Instead of designing an offense to suit the strengths of his qbs he expects all of his qbs to play the same style. In other words, players have to fit his system. I have always thought it's LaPo holding Nichols back & not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always thought it's LaPo holding Nichols back & not the other way around. I came to that same realization this year... Nichols isn't nearly as bad as I thought he was, it had a whole to do with the game plan that Lapo gave him... and what really burns me, Lapo actually changed things up in games 3, 4, and 5 (I believe) this year and Nichols looked like a completely different QB... hitting the long ball and all! but as soon as Nichols threw an INT in that Hamilton game it was right back to the Dink and Dunk... didn't trust Nichols...

As you say, no surprise. he does the same thing with receivers as well... like why would you have Darvin running 3 yard curl routes? or why did it take until game 17 to see Whitehead using his speed down the rail deep like he did in game 2 for a TD? Whitehead without doubt the fastest person on the field and he rather have him fielding screen passes and HOPE he can juke everyone instead of just having him burn them with his speed?

I thought for the most part he's pretty good on his deep ball. Not every long pass will be completed. OL has to hold their blocks a second longer & if they don't then the pass is hurried which affects accuracy. BigBlueFanatic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris is struggling a bit on the evening, yet you don't see Lapo go back to Demski , or anyone else, the rest of the game... it's like his play book contains only 1 'non-Harris' running play in it for the game... that's it... lol...
