Ignoring the fact that this writer is a noted SB8 hater and his conclusions would rival only an orangutang's, I wanted to touch on what @CoachO, @-X- and I were discussing a while back about Schotty's playbook that I think is illustrated here.
My contention was that Schotty has to do a better job of having something for the rookies to be able to digest more quickly and attack the meat of the playbook later on. This is more evidence that his playbook, while completely sufficient, is entirely too complex and to the detriment of the offense. Under no circumstance should a playbook be "Spanish" to a football player. If Austin, a player who did a little bit of everything at WVU, is saying this, imagine what Quick must have been/be going through.
It's what's leaving SB8 on the bench after a poor drive looking at the pictures, rolling his eyes and shaking his head.
