I tell you what - one of these receivers needs to get open downfield.

You have to have plays that send guys down field in order for them to get open.

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

Um..Defense..WE NEED YOU!!

 

[Jake]

Herman having one of his derp games.

They seem to happen when we play competent or semi-competent opponents.

 

[NFBuck]

Cosby Count- 3

 

[youra6]

Not worrying yet.

 

[scarletmike]

Alright, D, pick up the slack for the offense here and get a score yourself.

 

[bukIpower]

Our blocking scheme on the screens must suck because it never fools anyone at all.

Right? I'd just never run that play

 

[Bucknut24]

The line has been ok except for a couple plays. The receivers aren't having a good night.

should edit they been doing great run blocking, but pass has been suspect at times..but like Va Tech game, I don't think the play calling has put them in the right position either

 

[Systems_id]

Herman calling a not so good game.

In what capacity?

 

[Jake]

Feel like we are are back under Tress. Coaching for a close win when we want a blowout.

We were up 17 and throwing passes. The pick six wasn't playing for a close game.

 

[MrRedsBills]

Not worrying yet.

Agree for now with the way the d has been playing, wow that seems weird to say

 

[Mike80]

You have to have plays that send guys downfield in order forthem to get open.

They've shown replays two times now where there were receivers on both sides of the field running and being covered relatively well. That dump off to Vannett had a double post on the left side and a 10 yard curl but there was no room to throw it.

 

[NFBuck]

Not worrying yet.

Nope. If the D keeps playing like they have, we're good.

 

[Jake]

TH isnt in rhythm tonight...not liking this

His rhythm seems to vary depending on the strength of the opponent.

JT having a hard time reading the blitz and WR not doing him any favors
