He never did it. Ossar's skills are not suited for a WCO, which is why he has looked bad in practice. If Dorrell had just followed through and put in a running/spread-like package for Rashaan (Just like Florida did for Tim Teabow) then we could have seen more of what Osaar did against Arizona. As a coach, you got to find ways to put the best talent on the field. Rashaan is a good athlete but our coaches don't know how to use him.<BR/><BR/>There were some bad decisions and some risk-taking by the coaches this August. They gambled on Olson carrying this team and virtually none of the other QB's got snaps during the fall camp. Well, that decision came back to bite them as Olson has missed multiple games and our backups were unprepared. If Olson had stayed healthy it would have been considered a genius decision. Unfortunately, they rolled the dice and it came up snake eyes.CPBruinFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06374584076069392563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018856070986689764.post-64769105677253209992007-11-05T13:26:00.000-08:002007-11-05T13:26:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.CPBruinFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06374584076069392563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018856070986689764.post-48514688307674832302007-11-05T09:44:00.000-08:002007-11-05T09:44:00.000-08:00If you've gone to Spring scrimmage the past 2 seas...If you've gone to Spring scrimmage the past 2 seasons, you would know why Rasshan was on the 3rd spot last year and 4th this year. He wanted to play this year that's why he switched and the coaching staff thought being WR would get him on the field. It was unfortunate that a week before Stanford game he had a concussion which slowed him down the development on his new position. <BR/><BR/>Would you put him at Notre Dame game? We got a new Offensive Coordinator this year and Rasshan hasn't practice as QB since Spring. He would fare the same like MBT. We lose to ND due to ineptness of our coaching staff to deal with adversity with injury (bad play calling). Then there was Wazzu game, Pat started the game after the previous week he led us to beat then #10 Cal. Would you yank him out for Rasshan? <BR/><BR/>I agreed that Rasshan is a play maker and he should be on the field instead of rotted on the sidelines. My vent to the coaching staff is the failure of QB coach (Norvell) to fix his mechanic to be a better passer. Rasshan was a career 45% passer in HS and it showed during the Arizona game (30%). But again he has had 3 different QB coaches since he arrived in Westwood. <BR/><BR/>We'll see this weekend when Rasshan starts for ASU game. At least he's a dual threat QB we haven't had since McNown.<BR/><BR/>The problem is not with our QB, it's our OL. 6 different line ups in the past 9 games and still can't protect any of our QBs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018856070986689764.post-58021656736135324582007-11-05T08:13:00.000-08:002007-11-05T08:13:00.000-08:00Nobody has forgotten that.

Now, you tell me, after watching both this season, who was better? The coaches have no idea how to evaluate the talent they have on the sidelines.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying Rashaan is a good QB. He doesn't fit into the WCO that Dorrell runs. Then again, nobody else seems to either. However, the guy is a play maker and he could have changed the outcome of a few games this season. Instead he rotted on the sidelines while Dorrell ran the program into the ground.CPBruinFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06374584076069392563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018856070986689764.post-47088536894615916762007-11-04T11:24:00.000-08:002007-11-04T11:24:00.000-08:00Why is everybody seemed to forget that Osaar Rasha...Why is everybody seemed to forget that Osaar Rashan at the beginning of Summer Training Camp, he switched position to Wide Receiver. He didn't switch back to QB position until Ben Olson got injured for the 2nd time. We were 4 deep at QB positions and again people tend to forget that McCleod Bethel-Thompson beat out Osaar Rashan in Spring Practice which lead for his decision to switch position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
