You think O'Shea is lying when he says Younger decides who is on the field on D?

He's the Head Coach. Absolutely he has last say.

yup....he also makes play calls...with who he wants on the field...if he didn't he wouldn't have the play card...head set...a coordinator will create the scheme and basic alignments...the NC more times thn not will confer and direct what he wants...or suggests...thats just how it works.

No C-Ord will get total control unless its a guy like Richie Hall or Lapo who have oodles of experience and trust

15	2025	STREVELER, Chris	WPG	6	47	74	63.5	558	5	3	92.1	4.1	7.5
16	2025	COLLAROS, Zach	WPG	5	90	124	72.6	1,031	7	8	89.1	6.5	8.3

 

Just outta curiosity....where our QB's rank in efficiency in the league...there only 5 guys below our guys...Looney tunes...Crum....Shiltz...Masoli and P.J Walker...not a very glowing picture...especially with one guy pulling in top dollar in the whoile league

ZC has an average pass a bit higher than Strev but his int percentage is higher.....ZC numbers are all based on 1st team reps...starting 5 games....game plan tailored to him for most part...all the starter prep

Strev 1 start...sporadic use from unexpected ZC being yanked from game....First start with all the prep ZC got was good...and very promising....so question is....with say 2...3 games as the starter..with all the prep that goes into it....an actual game plan created to play to his strengths and what he does well, does he progress and show legit ability....and would it be smart/worth the effort and allow ZC to sit and heal...get his head straight....whatever the issue is?

Use this opportunity to gauge what we have....where we at...who may give this offence the best chance to actually sustain some kind of momentum?.....discuss

One would absolutely expect Streveler's INT and even reception numbers to be worse than Collaros' stats due to lack of first-unit reps. That Streveler went to Stearns often and successfully last game was probably a reflection of them working out together as second-team  players. That Streveler did as well as he did in a losing cause is encouraging.

Sterns has started every game and been with the 1's basically since Day 1.

Also gotta take into account that when streveler has come in the last couple games it's been in a hole with things not working already. So how much is garbage time and how much is having to try and dig out of a hole (more risks, etc etc)

other than his start...he's been parachuted in less than ideal circumstances...as well as less than ideal conditions in T.O....I say give him control for at least 2..3 games....all the prep...reps....and then make a decision based on the culminative work of 4 ...5 starts...if he strung wins together....gave us a chance to win every game....then keep him rolling and let ZC be the backup......if not for anything will have him more prepared and comfortable for if he had to step in again later in the yr

Thats smart thinking, especially if Zac is still feeling some effect of his last Upper Body injury. Strev offers a number of intangibles which just might make this work. It also gives Zac time to get over his ailment and his head back to where it needs to be. Well worth a try cause sure as heck what weve done the last 3 games is not going to win many games going forward.

Take the ‘m’ off many, and I agree.
