I was hoping to save the bag of trick plays for WMU in the MACC. But if the ship is on the line in Akron we need to pull them out then. Back in 2006 when Abrams blocked the punt at Illinois and I recovered it. Right after that we ran a designed draw play where Everson was in gun and Kalvin was on his right side. At the snap they both run right like a sprint out and Kalvin sticks his foot in the ground and goes left with one or two pulling lineman. It opened up a hole and I think we scored. Illini defense was fooled on that play. Also the jet sweeps to Papi and Reid. Then eventually hit them with the jet sweep to Reid who passes it to Sebastian Smith for the long ball TD.
Double TE sets with them running double seams and Corner routes and have our Wrs run slants and drags like we did when we upset Northern Illinois in 2006 when Everson throws for 300 and few TDS. Like I stated last night, most teams play 5 yards off of us and rally. We need to stretch the field and take advantage of our WRs height. Im not as worried about Akron (defense cant tackle and offense has no chemistry) as I was CMU. I knew CMU was our nemesis. And to honest EMU did the same thing to us this year as CMU. Gave our WRs space and said "You wont beat us deep or win the explosive plays."

WMU is the best of the 3 directional schools that play that scheme. We would definitely need to win field position and time of possession to keep it close. Their WR Davis poses a serious match up problem. Thats why we need Toledo to win out. We can beat them deep and they dont play that scheme as the directionals do.

We need Monroes opinion because there is truth in it. We havent won the big one yet in Frank's tenure. Should we have won one by now? I believe we should have too. However, the chips havent fell our way. Are we on track and pace to be MAC champions eventually within the next 2-3 years? Yes, however the Reign over Miami is posing a threat with their quick turnaround and a potential 6'7" problem in Buffalo's Tyree Jackson for 3 years.

Now if we win this year and Monroe says, "Wow only 1 in 12 years. Is the next time we win is in 2028?" Then I'll say, "Wait a minute mister!" (LOL). But I value your opinion and we need your perspective.

Journalist. I have called out Monroe several times when Middle School or intramural flag ball experience would have helped. Never mind D1. Never respect for an opponent. It is as if his game exists in a totally controlled environment. He just posted that the inside screen was an about time wrinkle. Really.

I like the the Baylor QB much better than him. He is not a second round QB period. I appreciate your knowledge as a player, hopefully you are not the Michael Jordan of scouts. Just kidding

Since the Browns are at the top of the list of not knowing nothing, it seems that Rush is destine to be a first round pick for Cleveland. That would be proof that both Fleck and Monroe were right with their polar opposite opinions on this issue. ;-)

Cooper Rush is going to be drafted? NICE so once again a MAC team beats us with talented potential pros that they recruited? Hell its a habit for CMU they let Thomas Rawls loose on us a few seasons ago

Jeesh, they let SAYLOR LAVALLII loose on us a few seasons ago.

I saw a bit of Louisville vs. Houston tonight. Both those qb's have arms a lot bigger than Rush of CMU it would appear. Rush may have better non-phyical skills but ya pretty much must have the big arm in the NFL (though, of course, that alone is not enough).

+1

Yes...and Dak's now far and away number one. So, being third there is far away. Though, of course, injuries.



Yes, it's generally a good idea to follow my view on player-likely-success in the NFL when the likelihood is obvious (such as qb with underwhelming arm).

He has enough arm strength, he was very inaccurate at the combine. He was the second worst performer at the combine. He could make the Cowboys, he has more arm strength than both Cody Keller and Chase Daniel. He was never a second or third round draft pick. He dominated our depleted secondary and we forgot to wrap when trying to tackle him a couple of times.

Thank you for being a voice of reality, for being able to recognize the facts and to grasp what's important/decisive.

I find that a talent which is significantly missing on the football threads.

Some of us who argue for such a point of view get rather much attacked for it.
