High risk, high reward. Big plays with guys getting open easily plagued us last year. If you bring pressure and don't get there you're still on the field or down a score. If the worst that can happen is a long slow scoring drive, but your offense scores in bunches quickly? Win.orangepassion said:
Methinks that coaching changes hurt their development. Another year, or two, of Adkins/Marrone would've made a huge difference.
I may create a second account so I can like this post again.
So far, I've liked what I've heard and seen. True test of the pudding comes in the fall, though.
Fine we have three time outs left there w 1:27 left to play. If you want a timeout you run the full play clock down before calling the timeout then call it. Leaves +/-45 seconds to run red zone plays and kick a FG with incl passes a stopping the clock and two more time outs for stoppage to call a play and kick the field goal.
Me every day since Babers was hired
I'm used to waiting. I'm a Buffalo Bills fan - losing and waiting to get good is all I know.
What if you score too quickly, leaving too much time on the clock, make a boneheaded ST call, and let the other team get the points back in less than a minute right before the half? Oh wait, that's exactly what happened. It was bad clock management. Maybe you'd like to defend the timeout against CMU that set up the game tying TD? The squib kick against Pitt? The bench fouls? Shall I go on? Shafer was in over his head, it was obvious to some. I liked his attitude and drive, I didn't like our results or the lack of professionalism he displayed on a regular basis.
The timeout against CMU , you mean when the defense was clearly shredded and in disarray ? Squib kicks are a legitimate play and strategy , if Dino uses one are you going to be a stuffed shirt hypocrite and say it was a good play ? If you didn't like Scott's personality and think he does not represent the University , that's valid , just say it and stop using stupid logic to justify your point of view. He really doesn't need to come up at all at this point , but I hate seeing a decent guy get smeared .
He was a decent guy, who made bad decisions during the course of a football game. Defending those decisions doesn't help his legacy. Shafer cared alot about his kids and the community. Want to prop the guy up, focus on that. Defending his game time decisions won't get it done, they were pretty awful.
Greg Robinson was a decent guy too. He's just a shitty head football coach, just like Scott Shafer was.
Saying that Shafer and Robinson were the same is flat out wrong.
He wasn't good enough to have 5th string QB's put together winning seasons for him , truly incompetent.
I didn't say they were the same. I said they were both bad football coaches. One was a lot worse than the other, but that doesn't change they were both shitty coaches.
