STs nightmare

[sufandu]

I understand the rationale for wanting to play starters on ST to improve their draft resumes. I assume starters are maxing out their reps with their regular position groups. Wouldn't that limit the amount of time available for them to practice on ST? Wonder if this might contribute to some of the breakdowns? Or is it the case that other position groups don't practice while ST is practicing?

We did it under Mac and P to great success. Beamer was famous for doing it at VPI (more famous than he should've been since we did it first). Other teams do it too. I was watching another team recently when a big name guy made a play on specials. I forget who it was, but I remember being surprised because it was a team that you'd think had the talent depth to keep starters off specials.

Sigh.

Do you understand what a ‘top heavy’ roster is?

Wait, don’t answer….you don’t.

As for the clear coaching problem, obviously you are unique and too boneheaded to see through and through that players need to execute.

I’m guessing the failed insult asking if I was vallones mom or something means u have some reason to not realise that the players on specials suck.

I’m not saying he still won’t be fired, scapegoating is a natural reaction. And he’s certainly an easy target at present.

I read it, I understand what you’re trying to insinuate, it’s just stupid and wrong. If FCS teams can field a competent special teams, then a P4 program should be able to as well regardless of whether they played it last year or not. But yeah, nothing screams “the scheme is perfect” like uncovered rushers 3 games in a row. Calling me clueless while you’re defending this clown show is hilarious. He’s not a scapegoat, he’s the clear issue. The buck stops with coaching, I’d expect such an expert would understand that.

Im not in this disagreement but as a someone once said u either teach it that way or u allow it and either way its on ST coach period.

Matt Park was on Cuse Sports Talk today and said that Fran had every single coach on staff give their feedback about ST, and that Park would be shocked if it is still an issue ever again this season.

I'd almost rather get fired than get that much feedback.

Yeah it must've been embarrassing but I'd guess that Fran did it in a collaborative manner. He really seems to like him.

I picture it like a macho intervention.

Apparently the whole staff really likes him. But I’d rather a mean SOB if it means fixing the issues.

I’d start to bench some guys. I have no idea what Barron is doing on the field in any capacity. Same with McDonald

Not a comment at Justin...but I wonder if we need to look at subbing out some starters on STs and put in hungry walk ons or 2nd and 3rd teamers?

Maybe some of these guys (1st teamers) are getting task saturated with too many duties and schemes

 

[KaiserUEO]

Well, let’s see if he’s fired, fire boys.

Sorry to not be onboard.

Actually no, I’m not.

I also don’t care, in Fran I trust.

It’s part of the problem

They say "Offense sells tickets. Defense wins games." Well, Offense scores points. And if you score a lot of them you can overcome defensive weaknesses and special teams blunders. So offense wins games, too.

Let's let the head coach decide who he wants on his staff.

Dino wound up firing the DC he brought with him. This has to be Fran's decision. Ad, if you fire a guy in mid-season, you have a smaller staff. Somebody's going to have to do two jobs.

I watched the game again. It was a simple Jail break by overloading the A gap. What we need are our best blockers on the punt protection team. Not Barron, Not OG, But blockers Offensive lineman. Teach the punter to angle every punt to the sidelines. Shouldn't be hard.

Cam Stonehouse do the rugby punt? Hofrichter was great at that.
