Re: We need Legas
Sorry for my miscommunication. The ESPN live box score during the game showed Levi Williams picking up stats the last drive and playing (I wasn't able to see the 2nd half). The box score has been rectified though to remove him. Because of that error I was under the impression that Levi Williams played.GeoAg wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 11:16 amBased on Spring Coop is a much more accurate passer.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 10:34 amTechnically they're both #2 as it's listed Cooper Legas OR Levi Williams, though Cooper is listed first.FloridaAggie13 wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 10:28 amLevi is #3 on the depth chart.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 10:21 amEveryone is so hung up on Legas, but it seems like Levi Williams is QB2, and would become the starter if Bonner's out, right?

Re: We need Legas
The staff would have to re-learn creativity in scheming and play calling for this to work. Let us hope it can be done.GeoAg wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 11:16 amBased on Spring Coop is a much more accurate passer.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 10:34 amTechnically they're both #2 as it's listed Cooper Legas OR Levi Williams, though Cooper is listed first.FloridaAggie13 wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 10:28 amLevi is #3 on the depth chart.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 10:21 amEveryone is so hung up on Legas, but it seems like Levi Williams is QB2, and would become the starter if Bonner's out, right?

Re: We need Legas
Agreed. I think Legas is a better all around QB than Williams and I'm not sure it is even really all that close. That said, I agree with Geo that it would be nice to have some packages or a series here or there where Williams comes in for a change of pace. I would love to see us go to an option game when he is in there if it were possible. Can you imagine having to switch and defend that scheme mid-game? The problem is I don't think we have the OL to really pull that off with any kind of efficiency.GeoAg wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 11:16 amBased on Spring Coop is a much more accurate passer.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 10:34 amTechnically they're both #2 as it's listed Cooper Legas OR Levi Williams, though Cooper is listed first.FloridaAggie13 wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 10:28 amLevi is #3 on the depth chart.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 10:21 amEveryone is so hung up on Legas, but it seems like Levi Williams is QB2, and would become the starter if Bonner's out, right?

Legas is the next man up. If Legas struggles, Potato Bowl MVP Levi Williams will take over.

Re: We need Legas
If Cooper is really going to start on Thursday, did we just waste the preseason and the conference opener?
It seems we had a pretty decent snapshot pf Coop after the bowl win. At least enough to merit more than the spot action he has been tossed into this year.
I am very pleased Cooper has stuck with the Utah State program and wish him the very best this week and going forward.

Re: We need Legas
This is where the frustration from 90% of us would in my opinion. It sucks his first start is on the road and against a top 15 team. It was clear he should have been put in after the 1st QTR of the Weber game as well as starting the UNLV game. He would have had the chance to get comfortable with everything in live game action. I am excited to see what he can do, but also have my reservations considering the situation he is getting placed into.RogerAndersen wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 1:53 pmIf Cooper is really going to start on Thursday, did we just waste the preseason and the conference opener?

Re: We need Legas
Anderson is on the right end of those pitchforks. His coaching performance this year has been abysmal. He has allowed the OC to continue with possibly the worst scheme and play calling I've ever witnessed as an Aggie. His team is completely undisciplined. He admittedly has no answers. He deserved 100% of the criticism he is receiving.918AGG wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 9:40 amWell, that begs the question... if Legas loses three of four games (absolutely guaranteed), maybe the guy that didn't know when to use whom (or who) should be exonerated as his options were obviously limited a bit, talent wise... (... but of course the board will still come at BA with torches and pitchforks as "he should have recruited better.")
We'll see... we all love to remember the Coop who came in to the LA Bowl and instantly threw a TD pass (to DT... who isn't here anymore...), but BA has seen far, far more Coop than we have (and is infinitely better at evaluating talent than we are)... and Coop got the backup role. Be careful.
If Coop is throwing to the same McGriff (formerly my favorite Aggie ever) who can't finish a route (thereby preventing an interception), Coop will suffer the same fate as the now loathed Bonner.
You're not wrong that Legas probably won't be the savior of the season. But, I do think he could be a band-aid to stop some of the bleeding from our inept offense. The reality is that a QB with a running threat is extremely valuable at the college level. Our WRs suck. Badly. Because Bonner can't run, he has no choice but to try and force it to an unopen WR, throw up a 50/50 ball, or take a sack. The result is 8 picks in 2 games.
Legas at least has the option to take off and run when nobody is open. This is what made Chuckie the absolute deadly weapon that he was. He would often pull it down and run when nothing else was there. We might even be able to run an effective RPO, QB draw, etc. But when you put a completely immobile QB in a terrible offense scheme with bad playing and sucky WRs, you have a recipe for one of the worst offenses in FBS, regardless of whether he is a better passer than the next guy.

Re: We need Legas
I am no coaching guru.
However, if QB1 is struggling BIG TIME, and QB2 is your Bowl MVP significant minutes and success and QB3 is the former Bowl MVP with significant minutes and success at another MWC Rival Program, then what are we waiting for?
Something is not right with Bonner. Not sure what it is.
So try something different. Give the other fellas a meaningful number of reps and some real-life game situations for extended periods of time.
Who knows they might just win games for us.

Re: We need Legas
I can remember the timeline. It wasn't so much Jerod Walker everyone wanted Leon benched for as Leon was a sophomore with potential then. It was more so after 2006 when he was benched for Riley, then people assumed that ANY JC quarterback would be better than Leon, and were frustrated we went out and got a JC quarterback that couldn't beat out Leon for the job. The guy that was loved during Leon's senior year, with the assumption he would be better was Jase McCormick.Hoot wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 8:41 amI prefer the recent tradition of the backup being superior.NVAggie wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 8:18 amI remember fans calling for Leon Jackson when Travis Cox was QB1.

As for Kent Myers, he at least looked great against Idaho State and San Jose State to validate holding onto the job as long as he did, and Love looked like he was behind and not ready in his first garbage time action against Idaho State. I would have to say I agree exactly with the timeframe it took to go from Myers to Love.
Colombi left after Shelley was brought in and not even around for fans to want Shelley benched for him. But when Peasley got his shot, he validated the fans who wanted Shelley benched for him.

Re: We need Legas
Even if Legas had started and still gotten us to a 26-17 halftime deficit, along with us then getting a position to where we have 3rd and 4 on UNLV's 46. Legas would have probably made the first down mark so that we have a first down and aren't even having to go for it and get stopped on fourth down.AgMac wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 2:13 pm

Re: We need Legas
I forgot about Jase McCormick. I remember there was a game we were getting absolutely trounced in and they put in McCormick and he lead us to a couple garbage time TDs. Everyone was losing their minds. It was a great moment in a very bleak time of Aggie football.GameFAQSAggie wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 2:20 pmI can remember the timeline.

Conversely, QB1 is coming off of a 36TD/3600 yard season - the best in school history. I think he earned a long leash.

Re: We need Legas
We don't know that. Maybe Legas makes the wrong read and throws an incompletion or interception.

Re: We need Legas
Yeah, maybe. That's my point. We don't know. But we do absolutely know what we have with WRs who can't get open, bad scheme, and an immobile QB (regardless of whether he's a better passer). We have 9 quarters of scoreless football. We have a loss to an FBS team. We have a loss to a perennial MWC basement dweller. We have 0-4 against the spread. We have 1-7 staring us in the face.FloridaAggie13 wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 2:35 pmWe don't know that. Maybe Legas makes the wrong read and throws an incompletion or interception.

Re: We need Legas
Oh, I'm okay with the leash being cut now. He had the UNLV game to get it together and while there was improvement - almost 70% completion rate, 300 yards and two tds, the interceptions are a problem. I can live with the desperation heaves and the attempt to spread the field with the deep throw to Cobb (we were all wondering where the long ball was). The first two interceptions were just inexcusable, in my opinion even though it looked like the LB read the play at the snap on the second pick and jumped the route.2004AG wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 2:35 pmHis leash this season has been a mile long.FloridaAggie13 wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 2:33 pmConsider that Levi Williams hasn't thrown for 1,000 yards in a single season and Cooper has played a total of one game.RogerAndersen wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 2:17 pmI am no coaching guru.

It is Legas time now and I hope he shines, but if Tucker doesn't make any adjustments to use the entire field, I don't think we'll see much improvement.

Re: We need Legas
No, I think we run it back but with changes. QB is an issue, but if the scheme is the same and the receivers are assigned the same three route trees every snap, not a whole lot is going to change.AgMac wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 2:42 pmYeah, maybe.

But sure, let's run it back!
Three examples from the UNLV game:
1. Interception #2, the LB sees the play at the snap and jumps the route. Bonner was probably throwing an automatic based upon the pre-snap coverage. Predictable play and route. In fact, UNLV probably baited us into it with alignment knowing we respond with a quick slant.
2. Cobb interception. Cobb tries a double move, and the CB not only doesn't bite but he turns and runs directly to the spot Cobb is trying to get to. Easy interception. Predictable route.
3. Fourth Quarter long incompletion to Vaughns in the endzone. Similar to Cobb. Vaughns tries a double move and the safety not only doesn't bite but immediately turns and runs to the spot Vaughns is trying to get to. Predictable route.
In all three instances the QB probably sees exactly what he wants, what the formation has schemed for - one on one coverage - so that's where he goes.

The injury was only mentioned at the very end of the press conference when someone asked, and Coach just talked about Logan getting back up cause that's the kind of kid he is. Nothing about him being OK from that hit, and nothing about him being out. Are they keeping the injury a secret, or has a decision been FINALLY made to start Cooper over a healthy Bonner? Or have tests came back showing Bonner's foot isn't as bad as originally thought, and thus him still starting?

Re: We need Legas
The other problem is Bonner chooses where he is going to go before the ball is snapped. I get that this can be the case every now and again, but Bonner has a TERRIBLE habit of staring down one receiver and hoping like crazy he comes open at some point in his route running. He essentially takes the other 2 to 3 receivers out of the play the second the ball is hiked. If I can see this, then any decent DB is going to see it and be licking his chops. We blame the receivers for not getting open, but do we have receivers getting open it just happens to be they are not the one Bonner is keying in on through the entire play? Honest questionFloridaAggie13 wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 2:44 pmNo, I think we run it back but with changes. QB is an issue, but if the scheme is the same and the receivers are assigned the same three route trees every snap, not a whole lot is going to change.AgMac wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 2:42 pmYeah, maybe. That's my point. We don't know. But we do absolutely know what we have with WRs who can't get open, bad scheme, and an immobile QB (regardless of whether he's a better passer). We have 9 quarters of scoreless football. We have a loss to an FBS team. We have a loss to a perennial MWC basement dweller. We have 0-4 against the spread. We have 1-7 staring us in the face.FloridaAggie13 wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 2:35 pmWe don't know that. Maybe Legas makes the wrong read and throws an incompletion or interception. The one time we've let Levi throw the ball he missed the wide open receiver by fifteen yards.
But sure, let's run it back!
Three examples from the UNLV game:
1. Interception #2, the LB sees the play at the snap and jumps the route. Bonner was probably throwing an automatic based upon the pre-snap coverage. Predictable play and route. In fact, UNLV probably baited us into it with alignment knowing we respond with a quick slant.
2. Cobb interception. Cobb tries a double move, and the CB not only doesn't bite but he turns and runs directly to the spot Cobb is trying to get to. Easy interception. Predictable route.
3. Fourth Quarter long incompletion to Vaughns in the endzone. Similar to Cobb. Vaughns tries a double move and the safety not only doesn't bite but immediately turns and runs to the spot Vaughns is trying to get to. Predictable route.
In all three instances the QB probably sees exactly what he wants, what the formation has schemed for - one on one coverage - so that's where he goes.

Re: We need Legas
That’s good news, at least we have some hope for better play from the qb position. He will make mistakes, but hopefully our turnover problems will be less. Love Logan and everything he contributed last year but he just hasn’t looked right this year. Just came back too quick from his injury. Those big injuries are tough to recover from. I speak from experience, takes time. I’m guessing he’s only starting because LB is too hurt to go?

Re: We need Legas
Well Scott Sterling was a BYU guy. Did we find his long lost illegitimate cousin in Logan Bonner this year?
All joking aside I agree we never loathed the guy. He will be remembered well for his contributions last year.

Re: We need Legas
They are not top 15. Wyoming played them decent enough. The play calling is actually more suited to Legas and Williams at this point. I think we will see a decent debut and some hope for MW play.Aggie84025 wrote: ↑September 26th, 2022, 10:08 amTo be honest you can't ask for a worse starting position for Cooper to get his first official start. ON the road against a top 15 team. I just want to see some competency from the offense and some hope for the future. In no way do I expect Cooper to lead us to victory, but want to seem some progress. A lot of that has to do with offensive scheme and play calling which I am not sure will change.
What irritates me to no end is in the last 2 games we had plenty of opportunity to get Cooper some more game live action against winnable teams, but the coaches were too stubborn to make changes. The other good thing is throughout the rest of the season it does give the coaching staff see what they have in Cooper/Levi and see if they need to bring in a transfer next year or not.

Re: We need Legas
That is what i am hoping for. I would love to see some progress with the offense and have a healthy QB being able to run it. I hope that progress can translate to competitive football and wins for the rest of the MW season.hickaggie wrote: ↑September 27th, 2022, 12:31 pmThey are not top 15.
