In Dougs presser he said something about being worried about a player (who did not block the FG) and focusing on him. Yet someone posted some player quotes in another thread and the guy that did block the FG said he knew he could get through that gap because he did last year blocking two kicks.

Huh?

Yeah it seemed odd. He made it seem like they saw in film one RU guy put pressure on kicks this year and worried about him. Yet they ignored the fact that the guy from last year should be who you worry about. It is hard at this point to find any logic in Marrone's coaching. But yay he isn't GRob.

I've been banging this drum for a while. A lot of what Marrone says makes zero sense.

How many statements by football coaches make sense?

Yeah I'm sure they had no idea about the guy who blocked two kicks last yrar.

The must have lost last year's film.

Yeah, right.

It's hard to find logic in many of these post game posts.

Agree that a lot of these posts are highly emotional, irrational and many with questionable logic.

But the root is from being frustrated in a program that has maybe three truly good seasons in the past decade plus. And then of late, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that Marrone is not the CEO we hoped he would be. The TOs, crap performance on special teams, and self-inflicted gunshots are goddam maddening at this point.

There's an article in the PS that the players were very aware of him as they were yelling out his number during the huddle. So yes you're assumption is wrong.

Maybe he'll soften when he checks the film and sees that his kicker couldn't get the ball 7 feet off the ground on his 28 yard field goal attempt.
 
beckett wales got knocked on his a** on the field goal attempt and it came from the same area as last year on one of them,the other was up the middle over the snapper and i thought that play could have been a penalty.

why put in a t.e. who doesn't like to block on the inside where i think two others are to his right which makes him not eligible as a receiver.

marrone needs to get rid of a coach and bring in a specialist as a special team coach as this cost syracuse two victories against the same team two years in a row.

gross needs to grab marrone by the ears and force him to do it

the blocker got good penetration,elevation was not the issue on this one. Wales was staring at the dome lighting ON THE BLOCK

only on blocks where the guy jumps at the line is where elevation matters
 
Merrill said he went through the exact same gap last year and couldn't believe it was open again this year.

There is a youtube video posted on our board(Rivals) where you can see Marrone shouting "every f#%#%#% year"! after the FG block...

Doubtful. Kid was 2 yards in the backfield fully extended straight up with a small jump and he got it on his fingers. Yesterday people were talking like it was kicked into the kids gut.

The quotesQ from the player are in the post standard today. I had to read them twice to make sure I read it right. Apparently he knew he was going to block it because they were not keying on him on that play. My question and I'm sure the question of many others, is why we're we not keying on him? Who were we keying on?
 
The players were very aware of him. Like I said check out the PS. I'm sure the players had no concern about him at all. I'm sure the staff said don't worry about him on this play and don't block him.

Exactly - Ross had the same lift on the 32 yard attempt as on the 50 yarder. The difference was the blocking broke down at the critical angle. And you had a 6'4 guy jumping straight up a yard in the backfield to block it off his fingers.

If it was a low kick it would've been stuffed back at Krautman. It wasn't; that's why it squirted to the side.
 
I think Marrone is in a situation where every time he plugs a leaking hole over here another plug over there opens up and springs a leak. To his credit when he inherited this program waterfalls were flowing everywhere. He seems frustrated right now because he's done a lot of hard work, and he's very close to success. But getting over the hump is usually a struggle. A lot of programs hover around in mediocrity for decades for a reason.

I believe Marrone will do it mostly because he is willing to adapt. Right now he needs to continue to look at himself and his approach with everyone including the players, the coaches and the media. It's to his credit that he is willing to do that.

A lot of coaches who transition from the NFL to college struggle. It's great that they have the capacity to handle the complexity of the pro game, but the college game is different. When you only have 20 hours a week to work with the players and you are dealing with kids who often times come into the program with a lot less football knowledge at their position than the typical recruits in other parts of the country, this is a very different situation from working in the NFL. Marrone has reduced quite a bit, but these players need attention.

You might want to read it again. He said they were not calling his number on the blocked FG. Marrone said they were worried about #11.

marrone put in players who could not handle the pressure in the heat of the battle,was wales in last year also.

this is on marrone here.
 
I'd like to know when our depth will allow us to play our most talented starters on STs like we used to under P.

It's a big reason why Rutgers and VT excel at blocking/returning kicks and why we suck at specials.

Start now. They have nothing to lose. Don't hold nothing back. Don't try to save something for Missouri. Play everyone and use every play that gives s a chance to win NOW.

I did.

I don't put much stock into pressers or coaches citing numbers on player uniforms.

Marrone was clear that he did not know exactly what happened - he didn't see what happened and didn't know who blew the assignment.

It turns out that Justin Pugh - our best player - blew the assignment.

I suspect that Marrone was satisfied before the game began that Pugh could handle his assignment - he was probably more worried about other assignments.

The fact is that Rutgers is very good at blocking kicks.

I was at the game - I was very close to the field - the Rutgers guys are big, fast and athletic. They applied a lot - a lot - of pressure to the Orange OL and though we played fairly well, the fact is that Rutgers forced us into the mistakes - they sped up the pace of play with their ability.

We are getting better - progress is being made - fans need to relax and need to stop thinking of Rutgers as the old Rutgers and must stop placing unrealistic expectations on this program.

We will get there.
 
I think the special teams are improving without a doubt even though the blocked FG was a disaster. Give Rutgers credit on that and keep working to improve.
