I don't care whether it's Riley or Longshore that starts. I just want to see more play action passes, pitches and reverses, roll outs, and passes over the middle. Play calling just seems too predictable.

It looked to me like Riley's arm was sore, beginning with warmups.

Anon, I would have to watch the game again to get a better sense of whether pass protection got significantly better when Longshore was in the game. While more roll outs for Riley could certainly help, he was still missing a few typical 3 step and 5 step drop back rhythm throws.<BR/><BR/>While cal's o-line struggled a bit during the Maryland game, I don't know if anyone really thought the pass

What I don't get is this. I re-watched the game and protection was awful. Why is Riley not being rolled out to help with this. <BR/><BR/>The Wash St game was not a good game for Riley, but we did nothing 2 help him with the pass rush in the next 2 games. <BR/><BR/>Are we expecting Riley to be able to escape the rush on every pass play. Pass blocking has not been good the last 2 games. It

I will agree that the playbook does open up a bit more when Nate is in the game. However, I think some of it does come down to what the defense gives you, as well as the coaching staff trying to see something out of the passing game by the time the game is done.<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind, it's not like Nate is throwing it a significantly more than Riley is. Both had 13 attempted passes on Saturday,

No cospiracy theory here, but the play calling has not been any help to Riley. Can you honestly tell me that it was to Riley's benefit the NO PLAYACTION PASSES were called. They way we ran the ball, on Vareen's fumble, why not call a playaction pass? Why no roll out? Are these exclusive plays for Nate only now.<BR/><BR/>Are you going to tell me that Riley doesn't know the playbook so we have
