But I can understand it being used for the defense because you have to react to what the offense is doing. There is no excuse for the offense being "too complex". On offense, you know what you are supposed to do and where you are supposed to go.

Will the lightbulb ever go on in the head of Tobias Merriweather? [NT] - Irishize - 3:20pm 10/1/23 (40) [View All]
- You idiots created the Merriweathee fable - NDNEIL - 4:17pm 10/1/23
  - Classic board move. Have a strong opinion one week/year and take the opposite the next. [NT] - oldirish - 8:32pm 10/1/23
  - Nice, calling others "idiots" while misspelling the kids name, - Clem - 4:25pm 10/1/23
    - Stop, you know it's true. - NDNEIL - 4:34pm 10/1/23
      - Thank you for accentuating my point. [NT] - Clem - 4:36pm 10/1/23
- I'm less concerned with his head and more concerned with his HANDS - Chrisb - 3:39pm 10/1/23
  - I'm concerned with his head because that's probably why he's dropping balls, - Clem - 4:02pm 10/1/23
    - I agree. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 7:10pm 10/1/23
  - Re: Braylon James: Marcus said he's "almost ready." Let's hope so. [NT] - Irishize - 3:42pm 10/1/23
- His play suggests no but is it him or how complicated our System is? - ndphysics - 3:25pm 10/1/23
  - The 2 freshman picked it up before the start of the season. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 4:35pm 10/1/23
  - When the ball hits you in the hands and you don't catch it - McIrish - 3:28pm 10/1/23
    - Very true but how can the majority of our young talent - ndphysics - 3:30pm 10/1/23
      - Merriweather is the only one having problems, maybe Colzie a bit too. - Clem - 4:09pm 10/1/23
        Colzie is injured right now, though. - ndunabomber - 4:42pm 10/1/23
        
        My issue is u can insert colzie styles and tyree name - ndphysics - 4:24pm 10/1/23
        I hear ya, I just don't see it. Merriweather is the only one I've seen - Clem - 4:34pm 10/1/23
        Would u agree we have mostly wasted tyree talent over 4 years? [NT] - ndphysics - 5:31pm 10/1/23
        Yes! Parker has to find a way to get him more involved into the game plan. [NT] - IrishChristopher - 11:53pm 10/1/23
        
        yes. thought he would be a 10 touches a game guy this year [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 9:51pm 10/1/23
        
        ABSOLUTELY!! [NT] - Rocketman84 - 8:53pm 10/1/23
        
        I just checked Rivals and Tyree was recruited by all the major programs. [NT] - jray - 5:49pm 10/1/23
        We all recognize the kid has athletic ability but our coaches - ndphysics - 5:54pm 10/1/23
        
        I would. His lack of targeted touches is baffling. He was supposed to be the speed stud ND had been - jray - 5:43pm 10/1/23
        We have speed but it hasn’t translated yet. At some point - ndphysics - 5:46pm 10/1/23
        Yes, agree. [NT] - jray - 5:47pm 10/1/23
        
        Oh yeah, Rees consistently running him between the tackles - Clem - 5:39pm 10/1/23
        Thanks for reminding me of that. Agree that running him between the tackles was just stupid. [NT] - jray - 5:44pm 10/1/23
        
        I agree. He needs to pick it up but how long does it take. - ndphysics - 5:29pm 10/1/23
        Took Boykin and Claypool 4 years, but that was with - Clem - 5:47pm 10/1/23
      - Greathouse hasn't had any problem catching passes and I think the drop by Flores - Chrisb - 3:43pm 10/1/23
      - I don't like the excuse that "the system is too complex" - McIrish - 3:35pm 10/1/23
        For the record merriwether has underperformed and he - ndphysics - 3:57pm 10/1/23
        We saw his 75 yd. TD against CMU and wish he would be a constant threat like that. [NT] - Irishize - 4:00pm 10/1/23
        
        And you know what the brown thing is that they throw at you, and to CATCH IT [NT] - Chrisb - 3:50pm 10/1/23
      - Is the key word "confidence?" Once you get it, you'll be OK, but some never get it. [NT] - Irishize - 3:33pm 10/1/23
      - I don't see that with Flores or Greathouse [NT] - McIrish - 3:32pm 10/1/23
        These are the first 2. I concede that point [NT] - ndphysics - 3:35pm 10/1/23
- I question his effort more than his talent [NT] - McIrish - 3:23pm 10/1/23
  - Yeah, but maybe his hands just aren't that good. [NT] - Irishize - 3:28pm 10/1/23
