Dino would take exception to that. We have limited to no depth last guy got fired for good reason.

When will we have that depth? With all due respect, I’ve heard nothing but excuses all year about talent and excuses. When does this depth and talent get here?

Last guy gave us the qb who is basically the entire offense ironically enough

And we have a 4 star waiting

Shafer has nothing to do with lack of effort

The worst fan criticism is about “effort”. The worst.

I ask sincerely, is that a coaching issue, talent issue, conditioning issue? WF was down some players last week, BC lost their qb, etc

Program needs to be tougher and smarter.

Wake is in year 4 with Clawson. He went 3-9 his first two seasons at Wake.

BC is in year 5 with Addazio. Lots of people thought he should have been fired after the 3-9 (0-8) 2015 season and he’s bounced back.

I don’t think the comparisons will be fair until year 4.

The didnt enroll mid September. Dino has 2 more years. NC State and Wake took 4 years.

If our players are so fragile, just play them in winnable games. My goodness, do we only recruit bubble boys?.. I feel embarrassed rooting for a team that I'm apparently in better shape and tougher than at the age of 33.

Curt B would be playing both ways for this team even at his current age.

Left in the garage for the all important 2021 season. Finishing 4-8 again is morale killer. Guys get Juiced up when the young gun comes in and carries them. I really really hope devito is the realest of real deals

11 for 25 and 2 picks and a ton of missed open guys. Who do you blame for our backup QB situation?

I don't blame Shafer for the lack of a bank up. We have had two good qb's in the last 17 years or so. He brought in one of them. It would be too much to expect him to bring in 2.

Wildhack isn't making any moves on Babers until year five

 

[DPCuse]

What !?!?

What does the up temp offense have to do with the defense being bad? They don't play any more plays than any other defense that plays the same teams we do. We only played 2 up tempo offenses all year. Having 3 of our 4 starting defensive backs and 3 defensive ends out is what is killing us.

There are only really 2 injuries on offense and they have absolutely nothing to do with how fast our offense goes.

Both sides end up playing more snaps.

Oh geez - have you been around here long enough to remember him too?

Navy playing ND tough. Perfect example of playing a system that fits your players. Instead, Ward is forcing our players into a Tampa 2.

Tackling is about effort and we tackle horribly

The new guy is always the great guy. The guy no one has seen play. I hope the kid is good. But a freshman coming in with this team??? We would be lucky if he didn't get hurt.

Remember those conversations about redshirting guys? And one side is like "all hands on deck, need wins now, gotta sell out to make a bowl" and then the other side is like "let's keep an eye on the future, let players grow, not force young guys into action." Remember those?

Who is talking about a move for Babers???

 

[OrangeDW]

Haha, sure have. I figured only a certain % would know who I was referring to.

 

[Bayside44]

I have no idea what you are talking about. I responded to you responding to someone else that our offense was to blame for the defensive performance. I said they scored in a couple of plays before our offense took the field. Which is true. I'm not sure what you are referring to.

Replied to your post about the 2nd half of last week.

Mahoney has remained healthy. Dungey is a lunatic. He’s like one of those guys on the show Jackass. He can’t help himself.

I go back to Doug Flutie. All 5’8 and never hurt. Some guys know how to stay on field

Cool. We beat Clemson. Navy can have that moral victories crap. We actually beat someone.

No. We've tackled particularly well this season.

Making a move. A decision on his future

 

[elimunelson]

The D is good. It’s worn down from the offense going fast and three and out. That offense NEEDS first downs or else u have D on the field for 8 minute quarters
