I find it hard to fully be able to judge Knowles when the head coach lets 1/3 of the defense do its own thing.

yea, I mean if ND has its shit together enough to have all 11 men on the field, we lose that game. We ran to a hole where there was a person missing and still only got in by an inch because our line collapsed so bad.

My lack of immediate faith in Luke has more to do with S&C than Luke himself. Seeing Hinzman this year and his slow strength development doesn't give me hope for what a second year tackle in Mick's program is going to look like next year in terms of being able to push guys around.

I agree 100%, but whether it's fair or not, Saturday was the chance to validate those claims - at least as much as you possibly can after the fact. And we failed that chance. They should be punished for their actions but our time to validate our claims about 2021 and 2022 was Saturday and we...

I think you either give him the job straight up or you tell him to move on elsewhere. The guy already has a major confidence issue. If you open it back up and he happens to win it again, he's going to spend the entire year afraid to make a mistake, which doesn't help us or him. You've either...

There is not enough money in the world to make that happen. The only chance he plays for us again is if we back into the playoff.

The thing that scares me the most this offseason is that they stay put on the line. It got better over the course of the year but it was still REALLY bad. Like bad enough that it still needs an infusion of talent. Simmons and Jackson (assuming he returns) are mostly fine. Hinzman should be...

Run blocking grades on PFF for the season: Fleming - 70.9 Johnson - 68.7 Marvin - 63.7 Tate - 52.0 Egbuka - 51.8 Nobody else really has enough to be statistically relevant. Egbuka's is bad but he also played hurt a decent amount. The rest are fine. Don't listen to anything Zach Smith says...

That play happened early in the second quarter. There's absolutely no way to know that we win that game if it's called properly. If it was late in the fourth, sure. Okay. But as it is it's a completely pointless argument.

Exactly. It's one thing if you're getting freak injuries or what not. All of our issues have been soft tissue injuries, which is generally the result of overtraining or lack of flexibility.

McCord is obviously viewed differently if that ball gets picked. But he also gets viewed differently if we don't barely sneak into the endzone with ND down a man. It is what it is.

No, I just think now that we've played them post-Stalions and still lost, people just realize there are issues internally that should be worried about before the sign stuff. They should be punished because they deserve to be, but you really shouldn't be worried about other people's business...

I'm going to call my shot right now and say Cam Ward is our starting QB next year.

I don't understand this at all. I really don't. When it comes to next man up, there's not a unit on the team more ready all the time than Alford's. Alford's got fourth and fifth string guys that are almost plug-and-play and other units can't get the first string right.

They cower to these guys so much that I’ll take anything at this point. If it has to be an instagram comment, so be it. But Christ, at least it’s something.

Fuck that. Someone in the program has to have the balls to fight back against their classless bullshit. Just sitting around and taking it is why we keep losing to them.

I mean, Day is the reason that's so tamped down. We're across multiple classes of players at this point, all showing the same lack of fire and passion. That's not just bad luck. That's a product of team culture, which Day is in control of. Stroud is in Houston right now showing more energy and...

If it’s anyone, it’s Cam Ward. Washington State is basically being relegated next year. Any shot he has at awards, the playoff, national exposure are pretty much dead unless he leaves.

the only way you do this is if you’ve just fully given up on Kyle.

The issue with that argument, IMO, is that poor decisions or late decisions have nothing to do with his ankle. He's throwing balls late because he's nervous and he can't read a defense fast enough. If you're going to be a QB in this system you have to be able to make anticipation throws and I...
