'16 CA QB Ian Book (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[Irishnuke]

Yikes. Rough start.

 

[ND88]

Is he smaller or is everyone just that much bigger?

Yes

 

[ND88]

Yes

Yea, I just don’t remember him being so scrawny.

 

[Irishnuke]

He's overwhelmed out there.

 

[Dale]

He's overwhelmed out there.

He should be. Run, Run, Pass against a zone blitz is a bad recipe. They need to let him run the Taysom Hill playbook but they probably are worried he’ll get hurt so letting Miami pin their ears back on third down is apparently better

This hurt on the inside...

He does, but his supporting cast on offense is looking terrible also.

 

[BabyIrish]

O line is terrible. Not sure why Payton is just running the ball up the middle. Why not try to get Kamara in the open field.

Can't imagine the Staff would let him run, the Saints can't seem to get a running game going and the passing game is likely going to kill him... literally and figuratively.

 

[Dale]

Saints OL stinks

 

[ND88]

Some dumb play calls. Starting to settle down a little. Keep it up, Book.

 

[Dale]

They were moving it fine changing it up on first down and then decided to run straight once they got into the Red Zone.

Exactly. It was nice to see Book settle into some of those throws. Looked decent.

 

[ND88]

Everytime they do these reviews, it’s like they think the audience is blind. That was a drop.

Honestly, didn’t see enough to overturn

It bounced off the ground, but I mean Durham was credited the reception, so it’s not the end of the world.

 

[Irishize]

He’s getting a crash course in the NFL. He’s confirmed he’s not the running QB he could be in college & he can’t keep telegraphing every pass. To his credit he’s settled down a bit so hopefully he finds a groove. Makes me wonder whatever happened to Deshone Kizer.

Saints OL is a joke.

His OL and playcalling have not helped him either. This performance is not all on his shoulders. He is building a connection with Calloway.

 

[IrishTusker]

Sack machine, sadly.

 

[dad4aa]

Saints OL is worse than ND’s was at the start of the season.

and WRs aren’t much better either lol.

 

[NDRock]

Book is just so limited physically. Will be very tough for him to have success at this level. Hope he can have a lengthy career.

 

[IrishTusker]

Borderline unwatchable. Ugly.

 

[Greenore]

I wonder what the hell Book did/said to have his OL abandon him completely?

 

[Riddickulous]

This is depressing to watch

 

[yankeehater]

We all knew Book was small and possessed average arm strength even for college. The one thing that afforded him success in college, his legs, has been completely neutralized by the speed of the NFL.

 

[Dale]

Hoping for an 8 min Miami drive because I can’t watch Ian get his head taken off. 2 of those last 3 sacks were free runs

 

[yankeehater]

I don't normally watch the Saints. How many of the OL are their normal guys?
