Just rewatched all offensive series from ND game last year


Sep 18, 2021, 6:10 PM

I am no expert, but generally I would say we are seeing nearly the same DJ as we saw then. Notable differences:

- Better and more experienced skill players around DJ. Not surprisingly ETN and Rodgers in particular stood out.
- DJ's footwork and body language. His feet look like they are in cement this year. In the ND game, there was noticeably more bounce in his feet and as a result his timing looked better.
- Multiple QB runs called throughout the ND game. None were very productive but probably kept the D more honest than what we are seeing now.
- DJ looked much more decisive. Maybe the coaches simplified things for him. The O played with more tempo.
- Multiple QB roll out play calls. Several were productive.
- Several deep balls called with some success.


Unfortunate similarities:
- DJ was not accurate on multiple short throws and rarely threw with "touch"
- DJ is slow footed runner and clearly does not like contact.
- He telegraphed many throws.

The opposition has tape on DJ now. His weaknesses are obvious and our O-line and RB's don't seem to be capable to generate a consistent run game. It is going to be a tough year. Either DJ will grow and improve, or he will be challenged by TP or Kublik (next year).

I believe in this coaching staff and the players. But the criticism they are getting and will get is for a reason. I hope it brings them together and we see them play with a huge chip on their shoulders from here on out.

Good post. Respectful and honest. Makes me want to rewatch that game.

Fair summary in my view.

I’m struggling to remember ever seeing DJ go through progressions on a pass play. Really concerning.
