will we become too crabtree focused? | Page 2

dont know if its already been posted but here we go even tho crabtree is going to be star. i think we need to be careful that we dont become too crabtree focused! during the game it looked like shaun was predetermining he was passing to him even when we had other recievers open earlier and over the first down marker. a good QB should scan the field knowing when their recievers are going to make their move. on the out play in one of the other posts, shaun eye balled crabtree from the snap didnt even look anywhere else. when we had two recievers open a few seconds earlier over the first down marker, luckily the rook was good enough to make a play but if he couldnt of got free shaun would have got sacked. not complaining, if the kids good enough to make plays then milk him, but think we just need to be careful. especially once teams work out were gonna be throwing to him. should be alright tho now that alex is gonna be QB looked like alex had the awareness to know when his recievers were gonna be open. very exciting! thoughts?

This thread just doesn't make sense. Especially for Smith, ok Hills had a problem of holding the ball too long and staring down recievers this year, but when Smith got in, he was decisive and got rid of the ball quick, but most his throws were to other recievers than Crabtree. Other than the 1st play, it didn't seem like they were trying to cram it to him, just get it to him when he was open.

it wasnt really about smith, i think he did a great job. it was more about in the next few weeks now that michael has done a good job i dont want to see us start to go to him all the time. weve seen where that got us with gore!

the coaching staff seem to like finding something that works and then going with it to death and forgetting about all the other options.

thats what i was originally trying to point out.

you guys are dicks haha

original question:
I don't think so, I think Smith is smart enough to get the ball to the open man, I mean he did go to Vernon for those TDs and didn't try to force anything to Crabs.

no

it didn't

/thread

yes it did

shaun didnt take his eyes off crabtree. morgan was wide open over the marker. all im saying is that if crabtree couldnt have made a play to get open then hill would have got sacked. i just dont want to see us put too much pressure and rely to much on a rook tooo much.

Actually if you watch the safety the entire time, he was cheating over towards Morgan, and when that happens it's usually because he's reading the QB's eyes. If Shaun threw it to Morgan, the safety would either have a quick break on it or Josh would have gotten blown up. He only looks that open because everybody started running towards Crabs when Hill threw it.

He'll be a great receiver, no doubt. But, with Vernon, Morgan, Bruce, Jones, & Hill on the team, he'll have a lot of competition for the ball. He'll become a favorite receiver because of his exceptionally strong hands, willingness to fight for the ball, route running, etc. That's not a bad thing...he'll be someone other teams will have to game plan for...we haven't had that since T.O. It's all good...
