The Dwayne Haskins Record Tracker

1. You didn’t watch the game it wasn’t his fault that OSU couldn’t run the ball when they needed it for the red zone? It was this fault that OSU fell behind so that he had to pass just to give us a shot? It certainlycwasntvhis fault that our D couldn’t get key stops late in the game. Be glad he had that game.

2. Ala would love to see a non-mobile QB like Haskins, they couldn’t handle CJones because he was mobile and willing to lay a hit to the defense unlike Haskins-which impacts team energy. This is college and you have to be a little mobile, if you are stuck with statue at QB then your WR’s better get open in 3 seconds and catch everything which ours don’t do. Haskins would have left the game early last night….

3. Dwayne Haskins is the only type quarterback that can beat Alabama.
   He sees the entire field, makes the correct decision, he has a quick release, and has a bullet arm.
   You need to keep a blocking protector in the back field with him.
   This year we have a very good Pass Blocking Line, the best group of Receivers we have ever had, and Coaches that know how to create a Passing Attack.
   Any Run Play called against Alabama is a wasted call.
   And I might add Michigan State and the team up north.

   1. Ok homer….its obvious that you little to nothing about college football and what makes up a good team capable of beating a team like Bama. I am not a Bama fan can appreciate the machine they have built and Saban’s ability to make adjustments (like benching his starting QB in the Natty).
      Haskins makes the right decisions? Is that why he threw an interception in the red zone? You have to have at minimum a little mobility and a fearlessness to get hit in the face of a rush or at least run like a man when you have an opening. I laugh about your comment that we have coaches that know how to create a passing attack….it takes more than passing to win a game, you have to be able to run the ball and then have a defense that can actually stop an opposing team.

4. 49 completions against Pur-don’t and yet failed to lead his team to victory. If you want passing records only Haskins is your man….if you wanted a true leader they should have made Joe Burrow the starter. Haskins is not only slow of foot, he lumbers with the fear of getting hit in his eyes……pathetic!

   1. How did Joe Burrow do against Alabama last night? How many points did LSU score?

      1. Don, how many playmakers does Joe have around him? How would he have done if he’d had even Mike Weber and K.J. Hill with him? Has anyone even HEARD of one single playmaker to help Joe out?

5. Dwayne tried to score by running on the 2 point conversion late in the game. I hope we never see that play again.

6. Rex Kern has a national championship and was within 2 games of 3.
   Art Schlichter was the pretty boy of his day and was within 1 point of 1 National championship.
   Passing offenses sell tickets. Offenses that can impose their will by running when it’s needed and stout defenses win championships.
   Craig Krenzel, like Kern, was an ugly passer but a consummate team leader. Haskins slides when no one is near him. The Buckeyes don’t win the ’02 natty without Krenzel’s gutsy runs.
   Even Twelve Gauge hurtled defenders when needed during the ’14 run to the title.
   The records are impressive, don’t get me wrong, but the kid also doesn’t take charge of a game and take the team on his back. That was the guy so many wanted replaced with a milquetoast.

   1. Really how is supposed to do that with horrendous OL play?

      1. By being a leader, Kurt. The line has never known anything but RPO blocking their entire tOSU careers, but suddenly this year it’s a problem? The problem is that Dwayne doesn’t assert himself and give them confidence that he’ll make the right read so they’re second-guessing themselves from the git-go. Confidence of every single smeggin’ offensive player flows from the QB and Haskins himself has admitted that it’s not his strong suit. How does the OL feel when he’s timid about his decisions and they have to block five ‘beats’ longer to have any HOPE of the results that Barrett gave them with a 1/2-beat-block? They don’t know what he’s going to decide or when.
         Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t one of tOSU’s better OL BUT they’re made to look worse by an unassertive, non-leading QB.

         1. There are all kind of leaders, fiery, get in your face or lead by example. OSU has 99 problems but I’d say qb leadership isn’t one of them. It’s not like they ever huddle where he could say something to them. I’d say next year they’ll have a fiery, rah-rah type of qb again, but they won’t be good because their qb is fiery, that only plays out so many plays a game, mostly it’s up to one on one battles that osu is losing this year. My guess is it stems back to ’15 when Myer started to listen to pro coaches about resting starters. He keeps a lot of his players out of the necessary combat of practice, both in spring and fall, that is needed to toughen up players. He kept virtually his whole 1st team o-line out of spring practice that year,and many others that had played a lot in ’14, and you could tell during the season, that they hadn’t improved like their opponents had. These players don’t get a push because they’re not tough enough. One thing I’ll always remember is when a USC guy said after creaming OSU, you can tell they don’t go 1 v. 1 in practice. Myer has gone the same route in his coaching style. He’s protecting his players from injury but at the same time, they are getting softer. If you want to know how 3 stars can compete with 4 stars, besides coaching, that is one way to catch up. It was confirmed early this year when one of the players said they practice ones v. ones about 10-20 plays a week, on what used to be called Bloody Tuesdays. Now you see the results on Softer Saturdays, teams that shouldn’t play with osu, often do. If you want to give an inferior team a chance to play with you, allow your team to become soft. It appears to be a thing older coaches tend to do, Woody admitted he became softer towards his players as he got older, it appears Bowden did, Brown at Texas. Earle said he would have invoked a tougher weight training program if retained. I don’t know if he softened toward players, he was a pretty fiery guy. If I were to guess, I’d say the lesser programs are still toughening their veteran players, where osu is definitely not doing that.
