Oddly I feel better about this game than a month ago, mainly because the dline is playing better.

This story is actually from huainanzi, written about 2 century BC in China.

Some fans are claiming Sayin should not come back next year. Imagine a swap…

Very good analysis. I hope this brings down fans' expectations a bit. As Day pointed out, hoping is not a strategy. So our fringe will do lunatic things. My other hope is that the running game is not as inept as the numbers suggested. When watching the game, it felt like the running game has...

Sometimes we forget that many of them are still kids or young men. Jay is my MVP for the W at IU.

Yeah right, sunshine. You expecting a backup to come in and operate like a starter is not foolish at all. Even Julian only barely completed half of his passes against that defense. The verdict on Fahely is not in yet. Forgive me for not joining your doom party.

Is this another one of your innocent pure questions? Are you aware there are other plays besides throwing in football? Have you heard of someone say that three things could happen when you throw ...

I think you are right. On some plays, even I felt for the defenders who had to cover JJ. What else can they do other than holding on for dear life. I do think JJ could sell it more, though. Half the time, it seems like the PIs had no effect on him. Refs need some indications to make the call too.

Football-wise, I feel Fahey might have a better pocket presence than Sayin.

Somehow, we never heard from that guy again... So doesn't count.

Let me ask you guys. If you saw someone pissed his pants when suddenly facing a grizzly in the woods, but managed to weather the storm and got out unharmed, would you laugh at this guy? I was encouraged by Fahey's run and the two throws to the ground (not sure why he was asked to throw in that...

I'm no expert, but I believe coaches' powers only dictate opening drive and middle 8. The rest of the game has too many variables, such as injuries, penalties, which way the ball bounces, etc. Judging from the opening drives and middle 8, I think Arthur Smith did an excellent job so far, way...

MVP of the game

Luke Fahey's scramble encouraged me. He slid like a veteran. Throwing it to the ground showed he knew to play it safe. I know it doesn't mean much. But it seems he understands the game situation and his own limitations. He won't be Sayin in two weeks, but I think he would be ready. Time for the...

Back to Julian, if the injury doesn't affect the throwing, I think a few weeks off observing from the sideline may help Sayin grow. We'll see, I guess.
