The Shamire thing was really out of left field. We gotta do what we gotta do, I know, but it makes me nervous to have linemen playing positions they aren't used to. If the line is already having trouble remembering assignments, isn't that likely to throw gas on the fire?

Alright, I've been glancing through this thing without commenting. I guess I'll speak up. I found Paul's response rude and mean spirited. I bugged me throughout the rest of the show. However, I understand the situation. The caller did a poor job of asking the question. He led in with "the...

If your warm glow needs recharging, take a look at the quotes Cuse got from the recruits at the game.

I think we are the better team, but that doesn't mean I'm not worried. Earlier in the year, in the middle of a longer answer about what was going wrong, PJ said something like "we seem to go berserk and forget how to play when we go on the road." I worry that the energy and focus we saw...

Three thoughts. 1) We got a break that the ball squirted down to our end of the field. Many blocks end up around the line and both teams have a shot of picking it up. When it went part way down the field only we could pick it up, plus it gave Austin some space to chose a running lane. 2)...

That is the million dollar question, isn't it? Can we do it again? I noticed Gotsis lining up on the other side of center than usual. Not sure what that was for, but if it helps, let's see more of it. Tackling was much better. GTL above and someone else in another thread made the good...

Justin threw two really dumb interceptions, but the thirty yard throw from the end zone was the second biggest play of the game, or so it seemed to me. He was under pressure and threw a strike to Jeune to keep us from having to punt from the 3 or close to that. Jeune for getting open and...

Gotsis is amazing. I didn't think he played exceptionally better than usual last night; that's what I've seen from him multiple times. A combination of strength, quickness, and shear ferocity makes him almost impossible to block. Take the first part of the play when he was flagged for the...

After the Pitt game I shuddered at the thought of playing FSU. Pictured last year when Winston could read War and Peace waiting for someone to get open, but with a better running game. I still don't feel good about it, but in trying to see any possibilities... 1) We should be a dangerous team...

Oh, man! I was sure Snoddy would be back. And PJ. Goodness! We need him out there.

Based on the things I've heard him say on the radio show and other interviews, this is how I think Paul Johnson would answer the question if you posed it to him: "I can call our base offense any time, and we fine tune based on what we are seeing from the defense before the snap and as the play...

This is how I see it too. Gruff as he seems at times, P J loves his guys. I think sometimes it is hard for him to be completely objective about their abilities. We have advantages on offense, not the least of which is P J's playcalling head. But we don't have the defensive equivalent. The...

Agree with all above. For a man who must be feeling deeply wounded these days, his cool under fire is amazing. He comes across as totally honest about how he sees things. No finger pointing, or at least not much. Just calm acceptance of what has transpired, very little looking back at what...

I also always feel better about things after the show. Some tidbits: Why didn't we get more pressure? A: Pitt played a 7 and 8 man protection scheme most of the game. So we decided to double cover. We had two and sometimes even three on their top receiver. But due to a combination of...

On a thread last week, someone asked if shifting at the last second causes our offensive linemen such problems, why can't we try that? I dunno.

I finally took a look at this thread and was pleasantly surprised. I had thought that it was just a bunch of young blowhards calling for the heads of our coaches. It's actually full of good points about the defense. Like Boomer, I've also wondered if the coaches have thought about moving Adam...

A couple of more positives -- big time catch by Michael Summers. Maybe his best moment as a Jacket. Some nifty running by Lynch.

There have been so many maddening things about this year, it's hard to keep up with them all. Somewhere in there is the total collapse of pass protection. In the last couple of years we made great strides in that area, and I am puzzled as to how it has gotten so bad. It's been especially bad...

Okay, so Sellers and Glanton are big kids. That is helpful. Still don't hear anything about a pass rush for next year. I suspect next year will look familiar. We will be putting up big points when we have the ball and giving them up just as fast when we don't. It will be a wild ride. I...

Much about the offense looked better today. Lynch had a good day, Land-Davis. Justin looked good running the ball and thew some good passes. If it weren't the fifth time, we might be able to suck it up and say that Pitt made some good plays. But when the whole season has gone like this one...
