There's really only one change from last year... has Montez been overrated?
He occasionally gets into a flow, and it's pretty good; then he overthinks it and no one can figure out wtf he's thinking.
Irwin at TE is a much bigger loss than expected.

Still throws off back foot, he's the leader. Get the offense going asap.

This. Plays aren't bad but as with last week the WR's aren't getting much separation. Even though they have faced single man coverage all day long

Lindgren is garbage and always has been. Are you really arguing that?

Our offense in the second half of last year wasn't anything special. We were lucky to play Arizona and Arizona State. Even in those games we looked very inconsistent.
I think he is occasionally good and mostly mediocre. Far from garbage.

The design of the offense has always been garbage under Lindgren.

I will give him one thing. I think he does a good job scripting out the first few drives.
In the run game for sure and maybe Frazier being out is hurting this team right now as well, but the passing game just hasn't been clicking against poor defenses.
This is way too early to declare for sure, but has Montez improved since last year? Honestly doesn't look much different so far
Because there nothing happening in the middle of the field most of the time. Somehow the coaches have convinced themselves and fans that the TE being a complete non-factor is not a red flag.
I also don't know what's happened to him being a running threat. They were fine with pounding Sefo 15 times a game last year, but so far, Montez hasn't needed to be accounted for in the run game
Disagree, the Talent is obviously dynamic, that is obvious.
The problem is how the talent is place within the system. I was sold on the Texas Tech system and concepts and believe they will work here. This is not that system, in fact, I cannot tell what it is right now at all. Going faster is not the Texas Tech system, it is just a hurry up. Short and simple passes to play makers with creativity, as well as running the ball against the weakness in the defense is some of it. I now have ZERO confidence in Lindgren that he can create and call a powerful offense! He can coach QB's and that is it. I said it many times, this is a High School offense at best, not a top flight college system. Must fix that right now.
If there is a chance that we are willingly playing conservative in this game and will do the same next week, that is a really dumb option because we need to run all the plays in the playbook in order to sort out what works. Washington will be ready for everything we have, so it does not matter if we show it. I also cannot stand having Montez spend so much time scanning his reads when you should have 1 or maybe 2 quick options that can help you pick up 3rd and 6. Montez always wants to throw the home run and does not focus on the basics. I am anxious to see Noyer take some snaps.
Yeah.. I guess we can hopefully chalk that up to going vanilla and not wanting to risk Montez getting injured. Hopefully we haven't ditched the RPO and spread option stuff.
Whoa. O-line must have gotten a spanking at the half.

O play calling also focused on not running Montez it would seem. Gotta keep him healthy for the meaningful games.
