[QUOTE="Jerry the Jacket, post: 249177, member: 65"] Message boards have become such a big part of being a fan. I really enjoy reading the collective thoughts of our fan base after a game. I think on the whole. I agree with most of the thoughts being expressed. We got beat straight up. There guys beat our guys and that happens some times. It is like Johnson said earlier in one of his press conferences, we are a team that can beat anybody on our schedule but we are also a team that can be beaten by anybody on our schedule. The first half was pretty ugly. It looked like we came out overly cautious. You win the toss and decide to defer, subliminally that sets the tone that hey we are concerned that we will screw up and give away the first possession. I know CPJ always opts for this, feeling if we are behind, we can adjust at halftime and take that first possession to establish second half momentum. Sometimes you have to send the team a message of hey we are going to go out here and be aggressive tonight. The defense opened up playing our usual bend but don't break, giving those big cushions to the receivers, playing to keep everything in front of us. Clemson just exploited that the entire first half. Later, we did adjust and started blitzing more and we looked like a much better defense. I think we have a chance to be really good on defense if we adopt an agressive mentality and play with an edge. We just need a few more of our guys to turn the heat up and for our coaching staff to turn them loose early and not wait to half time. On offense it seems CPJ always uses the first quarter to feel out an opponent and try to figure out what is working that particular game. Well it was pretty obvious that the wide stuff was not going to work and our best bet was to try to establish the inside game. Our passing game takes too long to develop with the skill set we have available to execute it this season. Maybe against some lesser opponents but not against teams with the talent level of a Clemson. Our offensive line did settle down in the second half somewhat and I think Parker Braun especially earned some more playing time. I think we have to seriously rethink our player development on the offensive line. Some guys are just not performing and the other guys need to get a shot. No use sugar coating it, we have some guys not getting the job done on offense and we need to try some other folks. I do think our guys fought hard and did not quit. I liked that and it gives us all hope that we can still be a good football team in 2016. Like most teams, we have some weak points, some that we can improve upon and some that we will have to try and work around but on the whole we have the potential to still be solid before the year is out. If we played Clemson 10 times they would most likely beat us 9 times and that is just the facts of our talent vs. theirs this season. That is disappointing as a fan but you have to understand that sometimes, the man across the line of scrimmage is just better than you are. Hats off to Clemson they deserved the win. Go Jackets!
