Wadley as Receiving Threat

[Hawkeye Kev]

If he has at least average hands, this guy needs to see more balls thrown his way out of the backfield. Zero targets on the season so far. With his vision, cutback ability, speed, would love to see him get as many open-space opportunities as possible.

Thinking the same thing, maybe working in some backside screens?! Great vision and just seems like we're not taking advantage of all his skills. IMO.

 

[Suterman]

There are 2 of the 4 running backs that are great catching passes and Wadley is not one of them.

 

[1971hawkeye]

I'm sure he can't catch at all. He plays football and has no hands at all...
Lol...ugh.....

 

[Suterman]

Well of course he has decent hands but he is a much better runner than he is a pass catcher.

Maybe we could throw it to the TE and Wadley could run around for a handoff.

Actually, Vallholl, that would be an awesome play. It's called the hook-and-lateral (or ladder). Apparently you were being sarcastic, but the reality is the play would be spectacular and accomplish the objective of getting Wadley into space. But as many have noticed, creative offense isn't exactly Mr. KF's forte. And Mr. GD, well, the evidence would indicate he isn't too innovative, either.

 

[Kurt Warner]

Any way to get him the ball would be great. Not sure why people don't think he can catch he hasn't had any thrown to him. Reports from practice? I don't know but I would find more ways to get him the rock.

Give it a rest. They're 9 and freakin 0. I think the offense has been working just fine this year.

 

[DewHawk]

Some of you experts are quite comical. The op's point was to get him in space to use his God given skills. Makes a great deal of sense to the uninformed folks, but I am sure it is folly given the expert's comments

Wadley just went for 120 yards on 12 carries. Why trick plays give you such a hard on I do not know but you continually prove your stupidity every time you bring this subject up.

Coaches have 2 ways to go - committed to execution and fundamentals or take away time from execution to work on multiple schemes and plays. Hard to be great at both - unless tremendously talented to start with! More innovation, less effective at substance of ur program!

 

[MadDogC]

He won't know the whole playbook til he's a senior...

 

[yerpHAWK]

Shonn Greene one of Iowas best ever running backs was horrible in the pass game. Even AP is not very good in pass downs.

It really doesn't matter. CedarValleyDude can take any thread and turn it into a KF sucks thread.

Sexy? Actually it's really not. Football 101. Good plan.

 

[uniFIGHTuniFIGHT]

So his number hasn't been called on a screen or a flat route yet? Maybe it'll surprise our opponent when it happens.
