Purdue Postgame Party...

[AZOrange]

The staff should have GAs hiding around campus this week, randomly firing balls at the WRs. In class, at dinner, on the quad, while doing laundry, whatever.

Looked like a lot of nerves to me. But Hatcher sprung at least two tds with his blocking

I didnt say this last night because I didn’t want to be ants at a picnic, but Garrett playing like this isn’t sustainable. He simply can’t take this many hits. He’s going to end up getting hurt like Dungey always did, and Carlos isn’t quite good enough right now.

 

[Scooch]

If you catch 50/50 balls 100% of the time, are they really 50/50?

And the ball touch your fingers thing is ridiculous. Adams attempt is not on him. Same with Jones or the Int.

Hatcher had one drop that was all on him. Allen ended up trying to catch the tip of the ball because he didn’t let it get into him.

Somebody dropped a TD because they didn’t secure it before running.

Well if they catch them 0% of the time that’s not good either. To my eyes we made one tough catch all night — that last 3rd and 11.

Aside from that I thought Shrader put most balls in a catchable spot. Not all, but most. It’s not his fault when our WRs spin like tops, time their jumps poorly, etc.

 

[AZOrange]

Is anyone else impressed by the level of tackling?

The scheme was great last night. People will see that as the secondary being soft but that was completely by design. And why the tackling is important

We haven’t had a strong catching receiving core in years. I hope it’s nerves but I suspect it’s not that.

He takes some of the most unnecessary shots I’ve ever seen. Surprised at the end he slid. Figured he would backtrack to the safety to lower his shoulder.

To me these guys seem more athletic and able to separate than years past. I think the hands will come. I know what Dino said is a bit lol but catching deep balls at night under lights vs day in the Dome is different

You’re not wrong

 

[storange]

You’re not wrong

Can’t have 25 rushes , that’s for sure.

 

[ElwoodJBlues]

Some of the criticisms of the D are a bit aggressive. Card made some really high level passes and their receivers made some high level catches. The DBs were in good position but the Purdue WRs made difficult catches.

 

[Trueblue25]

Had zero issues with the defense. The purdue wideouts made some good catches. Jerry’s relentless

 

[zjscuse]

Shrader has the same toughness and competitiveness that Dungey had. Shrader is just bigger. He might have more speed too.

Dungey said himself that schrader is faster

High level passes and really good catches by their WRs. There was one particularly where Wilson had his man completely blanketed but Card put it in a perfect spot and the WR held on even through Wilson’s attempt at a punch out. Can’t be mad at those ones, perfect defense perfect technique but the WR made a damn good play.

shredder got clocked big time running up the middle for a short gain and had his leg bent rather severely on the low hit call. other than those i don't think he absorbed too much punishment. be nice if his receivers
held on to a few balls and took some of the pressure off his legs true.

 

[Toga]

I went to the first two games, ASU might not win another game all year.

Dungey said himself that schrader is faster

When he breaks past the line of scrimmage, he moves like a tremendous machine.

 

[tbonezone]

well shredder isn't nearly as reckless as eric dungey was. before last weeks game he acknowledged there are time when 2 more yards aren't worth the price. i don't think eric ever figured that out and it cost him.
and with the whole MASTER OF ILLUSION fakes he ain't getting hit at all. never seen a D bite so hard twice.

 

[SU91]

We all know he did the right thing. It was the class move and I agree. But, I was texting with some folks who thought he should’ve scored. If that was FSU playing last night, does Jordan Travis take a knee? Probably not. That’s what makes Cuse, Cuse and FSU, FSU. However, I’m wondering, does anyone here think it would’ve been okay to score?

I felt it was smart so as to not to take a hit.

Defender had an angle and very likely would have gone low and risked major injury

 

[Ringostar57]

Cease fire, game over!

Was that a Secretariat reference?

 

[JeremyCuse]

Apparently our WRS are made of glass. To have true freshman out there in a game like that is wild. Also is there no viable backup TE?

TE spot is unfortunately a wasteland from a receiving perspective. We need to get Villari or that frosh going to try and take some pressure off this Wr core.

Or pull a hammy

Obviously Garrett isn’t as fast as Randy Moss, but they remind me of each other in how they run. It looks like they’re jogging but their strides are so long that they're blowing by people.
