SBH does a good job of attending the games. So credit to him for that.
But his posts and his opinions are incorrect.
We lost yesterday on the o-line, d-line and 'backers. Our o-line isn't making much holes for the running game and the pass protection needs to be better at key moments. D-line lost all of last year's starters, then our best player starting tackle and our other starting tackle, and our linebackers are injured and/or not stars.
Didja see our lack of pass rush, the great success Ballie had on third downs, and our qb under pressure? Beside a couple of big plays, our offense did little--which combined with our bending defense to put us in consistently deep field position. Yesterday was not about the qb or the jersey of a coach's child.
How do you manage to attend yet miss the obvious? And not see the vital/important factors.
Your negativity is negative.
Great analysis from Monroe, as usual. Did you see that OUr LB Noah Keller lead the team in tackles against Ball st? So, even though he is playing hurt, the LB's aren't to blame for this loss. The whole LB core is banged up and it's no secret. But, we put the best we have available on the field for every game. I don't want to hear any more excuses about people playing hurt because if there was someone better ready to step in, their named would have been called. "ie Antwan C. but on the D-Line of course"
Also, I dont think that throwing into double coverage is that wise of a decision when we put out 4-5 receivers on throwing plays. Given the strength of OUr wide receivers, we should be able to spread the ball around and find the open man.
I'm also thinking that #88 needs to be used more often and #5 can also cause some serious mismatch problems when he's covered by an opposing LB.
We have the talent, we just need to get OUr fire back.
