The TE’s weren’t on the field because of the defense? Shouldn’t we be putting our best offensive players on the field and make the defense adjust?
It just seems weird all aroundShouldn't Babers be using TE's more also to help solidify a shaky OL? And give TD more time?
The emphasis on game tape is getting a little old. How many times have we played a Narduzzi coached team? We should know 80-90% of what they will do and focus on that. We should be able to adjust off of that during the game.
Even with 5 wideouts TD continued to focus on one receiver a majority of his passes.Spreading the field with 4 wide outs was confusing to me (given our tight ends have proven to be capable pass catchers). So you can imagine how confused I was when we did spread out 5 wide a couple of times.
Yep...and always looked right first. He'd be even more lost if they lined up Taj on the left side.Even with 5 wideouts TD continued to focus on one receiver a majority of his passes.
Maybe, but what do we not know about their personnel? We probably have a high percentage of recruiting overlap and presumably 75% of the roster was on last year's team and probably a higher percentage than that for their impact players.I think it has more to do with personnel than plays. just my opinion.
It's got to be an inside joke right?My god. Game tape.
I just don't see a lot of successful coaches bemoaning a lack of film and we seem to hear it frequently.
My comment about recruiting overlap only applies to the players that haven't seen the field against us yet. Narrow that down further to account for their impact players and were taking maybe a small handful of guys.I don't think recruiting overlap from high school would have any bearing on what we know. Pitt would have to watch film to get an idea of Elmore playing guard for example. Or our new freshman linebackers or the running backs for that matter. I can't recall does Pitt have a new or returning QB? New or returning CBs or Safeties ?
How many other teams though do you follow to the level that you would hear about 'film' comments? I'm curious because I personally watch about a dozen games a week but I've never read or watched random team PCs; pre-game or post game or followed any other team to the degree where I'd hear a comment like that. You might be right about bemoaning film but it's not exactly something that a mainstream outlet would report. I've never seen a Syracuse 'film' comment on ESPN web page for example.
Regarding sports teams I'm involved with we always watch film and I'd be handicapped for sure if I didn't have a fresh scouting report or some film.
Did Sean Riley and N Johnson suddenly suck in 2019 after having very good 2018 seasons? Many here think so and have said as much. Heck, I even remember a few coaches talking about having to scheme to keep the ball out of Riley's hands in 2018...but last year he sucked?Maybe, but what do we not know about their personnel? We probably have a high percentage of recruiting overlap and presumably 75% of the roster was on last year's team and probably a higher percentage than that for their impact players.

I'd say no to the thought of should the TE's be staying in to block in passing situations. They mainly rushed 4 guys and got to us. IF The TE is who you want in on those situations they should be in in there to catch the ball. Having them in the game as another blocker means less options out there running routes to pass to which creates more of a problem.Shouldn't Babers be using TE's more also to help solidify a shaky OL? And give TD more time?
Maybe they should try that. It would force him to look to the other side of the field.Yep...and always looked right first. He'd be even more lost if they lined up Taj on the left side.
Coach says that but I would love to see him actually do it. We all know seniors and juniors are favored no matter how they play.After listening to the presser, it seems like there may be some interesting personnel changes after the Pitt game if these players can't figure things out.
He has played freshman before but is not often. Dino has said that the best player plays. After last weeks game on offense I hope not or it is going to be a very long season.Coach says that but I would love to see him actually do it.
