New Story: Expect Watson's running ability to be major part of offensive plan

Expect Watson's running ability to be major part of offensive plan
Clemson fans either gasp or hold their breath when quarterback Deshaun Watson runs the football or takes a hit, and Death Valley even grew silent when Watson fell to the grass during the win over Appalachian St. However, both Watson and the coaches say Watson's running ability will be a big part of the offensive plan going forward.

Sounds like an excellent plan for a team with questionable QB depth....

QBs that stay in the pocket get hurt too...... We have a great talented QB... got to let the man use his talent. Almost everyone who plays football will get hurt at some point.
I would rather get hurt using my talents than get hurt for being afraid to use all my talents.

He seems to play best when he can play loose and do his own thing.

I can see that happening and it should. But to put in a lot of running plays for DW is asking for trouble - and trouble will come.

Takes forever to pick a running lane. Using Rbs in Zone read is a little less stressful to watch. At least he has room to avoid some hits.

I wouldn't trade Deshaun for another QB, we have the Best.

I look forward to seeing the growth this team will have. I believe we will be very competitive against ND and GT. We will know a lot about how much our rookies have grown the next three weeks. I know any college team could beat another on any given day, but I like the talent we have.
If we do the right thing at the right time most of the time I believe our talent will win out the rest of the season. Turnovers or special team errors would kill us.
I like the way the schedule has allowed this young team to grow each of the first three weeks. Having a matchup against Buy at home this week allows this team to work on errors and prepare for ND and GT.
I would not be surprised if we come out strong against ND in Death Valley.. I think we will shock and awe ND. Our stadium is ss loud as their stadium. The excitement will fill the air on Saturday night Week.
Go Tigers!!

Watson is not Boyd plus we have a crapload of RB's who should be carrying the rock. They will find out how dumb this idea is when Watson gets hurt again and our only viable back-up is lighting it up for Ole Miss.

Vick had to run at pro level cause he could not be effective just standing in the pocket. DeShaun is a pass first QB who just happens to be able to run.

I think you have to give Thompson, Cain, Renfro, and Mccloud the touches moving forward out of necessity. All have play making ability.How many wideouts will wr take this cycle?

Somethings missing with Peake and we need someone to stretch a D. Hoping Freshmen can grow up fast.

Yeah, me too. Dw4 is a running and passing qb. That's what he does. That's why he was recruited. You can't play this game scared. A qb that can run adds a whole different dimension to the offense. You have an extra blocker on designed qb run plays. For our offense to be 100% effective, you have to have the qb run game in it. People love to say "we have plenty of rbs to run the ball", but no matter how many we have or how good our rbs are, if you don't have a qb run game the defense has less to defend. Thus making it easier to defend our offense.

I agree with you. Perhaps we should stop throwing the ball because our wide receivers might get hurt. Or stop blocking because our offensive linemen might tweak a knee. I've got an idea. Let's ask the NCAA if we can play touch football. But you know, I remember seeing guys get hurt playing touch. Pain and hurt just come with the game. So does losing if you don't go all out. Go Tigers!

How To Get Hurt
Sep 26, 2015, 9:35 AM
|
|
One big way to get hurt in a hurry is to get a guy thinking too much about it. You play football wide open. If you let up, wince up, or try to ease up you increase your injury chances exponentially. I'm not saying call a ton of designed runs up the middle, but don't tell the kid to get down or slide all the time. He needs to let it rip and play with confidence. Watson has put his time in the weight room. It's his time to shine!

Nothing keeps a defense more on it's heels than a qb who can tuck the ball and run. Do it a few times, and it will open up all sorts of opportunities as defenders pull off receivers to try to crush dw4 and get burned when he floats it over a defender to a wide open receiver.
