Dude has called two very solid games. Not sure I've seen a head scratcher yet. I think Long helps- kid is accurate as hell. Makes every call look like it has potential.

Ishmael is the first receiver since Williams that i feel you can just throw it up there and feel good he will win most battles.

Other than the two TD returns, I wasn't all that fired up by our defense. Though we gave up chunks of yardage to a garbage offense.
 
Um Jake Wake only had 170 yards of total offense ...

Props to Lester for calling plays within the skillset of the players available. There are many young kids playing due to injuries and the play book has bee simplified for Long. I think as the team matures throughout the season and as we get a few starters back, this team has very good potential.

Ishmael is winning fans over, no doubt. McFarlane, too. Phillips will do the same.

The D did their job and they doubled the opposition's score!
 
long does a better job with his feet to find places to throw and has a much quicker release like Wilson does. if they can just not give the ball away both QBs will give us chances to win by managing the game. if we can get one of the WR back that will help as well.

I agree, Long is doing well with Ishmael and West and has no problem spreading the ball around. Getting Estime and Broyld back would have opened up this game.
 
The 2 defensive TDs made the offense seem a lot better than it was. Long looked okay, but too many penalties. His play calling at the end of the game was a lot of swing passes, bubble screens and rb screens - hope this was him being conservative when the game was already won

It def was. I can see a rhythm to his play calling and as jake said no What moments. I really feel like this offense is starting to turn the corner.

Come on. What. Your up 30-7 in the 4th, what do you want them to do. Geeze.
 
Agree it is better, but no props for red zone offense we are ridiculous. No Aam in any games in 5yd goal line offense.
 
his only questionable series was at the near end of the first half up 17-7 in our own end putting long in a position to almost throw the int on too difficult of a pass relatively deep instead of easy outs or running. Disaster there and they're in too easy of a position to get back in the game and then who knows.

But don't want that to detract from the general truth of your OP as its light years better now. Kudos to him and the youngins.

Totally agree. He is clearly much more suited to be an OC than McDonald ever was. It will stink to lose McDonald because of his recruiting but he is a poor coach and his time as OC was an utter disaster

And as SWC posted, about 80 yards over the final 50 minutes. STs were hit or miss. O was weak after the first drive of the 2nd half. This game did not convince me that Lester is the answer long-term. Maybe he will down the stretch.

Those Stats don't tell the story, our defense got pushed around pretty good today. We dialed up blitzes against green QBs and made some big plays. When we didn't sell out, we gave up chunks against an anemic offense.

Prior to the scoop and score wake hashed us three straight plays.

Plays 10 yards or greater today:

Syracuse - 10
Wake - 9

It was not a great defensive performance outside of the two scores.
 
Two great play calls today were dropped passes. Morris ol'ayed another screen pass that was a really a cool call - I thought it was sort of unique the way they ran it.

The second play was the wheel to west. Great call great pass. West shoulda caught it.

Jake, we had 10 tackles for loss! They weren't perfect but they were pretty damn good. Your view is skewed by one long Wake drive.

Wake had 6x 3 and outs for crying out loud. D played pretty well.
