Bubble screens? You want to hire Spence back?
The "problem" with your plan (and I agree with you) is that the only game breaker is broyld and he isn't playing. This scheme will not work sans burners. Watching lemon, west and sales is more painful than watching nassib
Don't have a qb that can throw deep
I don't really agree with what you say, but feel that way anyhow. We're better than the team that takes the field, but is that real? Rutgers sucks but knows how to win, we're a good team that knows how to lose, and we're a fan base that accepts mediocrity. Many people are ready for basketball season where we know how to excel. I still want to win football games. I know we can, but know also that we can lose without reason. We should have beaten Rutgers, but we didn't. I feel shame and disgust. We gave another game away. It can't be worse than that.
Though the buck stops with Marrone, he's not the one on the field. The players know what it takes to win and know what they did or didn't do to lose the game. We lost another and they're all to blame. Changing coaches is the easiest way to renovate the team, but the players lost the game today. This is one game that the coaches can't be blamed for failure. I'm with you if you think it's time to try something new, but at this point it's just a matter of "different". We lost to a team we should have beaten. Players and coaches share the dishonor, so don't focus on the coaches, at least for this game.
I sure would like to understand that one. We play better but our opponents make fewer mistakes. We lost and there is no one to blame. Their team played the way they needed to in order to win and our team just couldn't make the plays necessary for victory. It's no one's fault, but we lost another game that we should have won. I had a friend that was a professor at ESF. He told me once that football season was just the filler between summer and basketball season. I'm beginning to think he was right.
Today was baffling. The gameplan was workable, but we couldn't execute. The blocked kick was the game-winner. Is that play on the coaches?
Well, I'm disgusted, but I'm just a peon. You and many others are far more knowledgeable than I am about football X's and O's. I just want to win and know we can and should play better. What I do know is that we outplayed Rutgers today and still lost. Frame it however it pleases you most, but we lost and have no good reason. We screwed up and lost. Rutgers won and we have no good reason to downplay their victory. They suck and we suck worse. Try to spin it in some way that hurts less, but WE suck.
I agree 100%
The answers at the qb position. Make the change now. Any of them with improved athleticism.
Because this is becoming a pattern, just like the delay of game penalties under P. If it was one player making a mistake all of the time, we could blame the kid. It's a variety of players and we have far to many occurances every week. Conversely, every year the same teams seem to commit very few penalties regardless of personnel. The coaches are to only constant in the equation.
