I really like our offensive line - it is the strength of the team. However - for what ever reason, Louisville just gave up in the 2nd half and made themselves easy to block. Not true for 2 and 1/2 quarters but after first drive of second half they gave up like I haven't seen a team do in a...
The Bama games are boring - the QB has no pass rush to deal with so even though he is a great thrower is he really that good- how would he deal with a pass rush? I watched the first half of ole miss game and that's it for the year - 49-7 at half. Is that exciting? Don't think so.
One question, at times it has appeared to me that our LB's seem to engage the blocker and then play off of him. Are they taught to do that or are they just worried about there gap therefore going after the blocker? Or am I wrong and they simply are just getting blocked and it's my imagination...
Thank you ibeballin for doing this. Our Lb's have to play better and the two plays with miscommunication (td pass and run up the middle for long gain) were disturbing. I guess at least our outside rushers have learned not to get too far upfield and Carpenter impresses although as you showed...
I like your optimism. However given how Clemson has played our offense recently, I don't think 6-8 minute drives are possible. They have been sending the kitchen sink with cornerbacks, safeties and linebackers all running to the line. If we are going to beat them, it will take busting that...
All of this may/may not be true about CPJ. It's interesting. At the end of the day, our biggest problem now is not attitude but that we just don't have the jimmy's and joe's. How many players have we had drafted recently or made it in the NFL as a free agent compared to Clemson? A kicker who...
Agreed on over aggressive
From watching tape - namely longest cool guy tape, it appeared the outside rushers whether an end or linebacker, were taking very wide rush paths that many times went past the QB but regardless created hug gaps. Contain but not the point of creating huge gaps.

He was frustrated. He didn't take well to the strategy question because I believe he thought he called a good game and yet still lost. He did call a good game. He burned USF early with the speed option and naked QB counter. When they adjusted, he burned them by outflanking them on the corner...
I need to watch some tape. Went to the game and we were winning when I left. But there were two glaring weaknesses from watching the game from the stands. 1. The inability to run down a QB who is not a great runner, I for the life of me could not understand that and BM was a lot of the...
Settle down people - we are what we are. The KO team can probably be rectified. The defense probably not. The offense will be ok. Be interesting to see if Oliver gets more chances. Marshall is elusive and made some nice passes but Oliver seems to run the TO better. Also seems like we have...
my observations
1 The defense is absolutely horrible. There were numerous plays where we made it very easy for them. Short out - no press and cornerback never touches receiver who runs in the end zone. Slow footed QB running on us and breaking tackle on our world beating linebacker - etc...
I need to watch the film but I do remember one third down play where Mitchell had a perfect shot on a QB who is not a great runner and missed the tackle. I told my wife, who could care less, that when your best defender misses the tackle - you are in trouble. It was ugly.
Cooper is out - based on CPJ comments I believe we are headed toward a line from left to right of lee braun cooper bryan marshall. CPJ said Lee did not play well at center Saturday - pad level was too high. It will settle, but not this week.
I'm going to be realistic in expectations and just want better defense which will translate into some close wins. This team could have won 9 games last year if they didn't give up points late last year and could make some field goals. Marshall is fast, defense can be better, and hope talent...
Stopping the run and not giving up the long play.
1. I worry about 3-4's stopping the run - always have given less beef up front. We don't have the "Battleship" in the middle.
2. Long plays whether run or pass - sounds like we will be blitzing off the edge a good bit, which I like, but that...
The OL - what are we looking at right now ? Ivenmeyer Braun Lee Bryan Marshall -across the front? Was really hoping Cooper would be ready but he won't. When he is back - probably game 3 then move Lee back to tackle. Hope Marshall is healthy and ready. Tackle play last year was lacking at...
