Thoughts from the game

Unread post by Snwbrdro » Sat Oct 20, 2012 8:47 pm

What was the oline doing on the Jackson fumble for wofford Td? Even if it was a defense offsides, even more reason to play out the play. Much less what were they doing all game? Jackson had 1-2 secs to throw it, no wonder he couldn't go deep to price, and the coaches wouldn't call it!

Down 10 and need a score and a qb draw is CALLED to get the first down, REALLY??!!!

Missed field goal! Nuff said

Too many dropped passes period!

How did they get the ball on the 50 after the kick out of bounds? The 15 penalty was on the kick so why wouldn't it go to the 35yd line? Really hurt us.

Roughing the passer call in the 4th. Worst call ever ! It is a TO offense, they only threw it twice and he was faking the run after the hand off. D is playing assignment ball and hitting a person not the ball. Can't make that call in Thayer situation.

Where is the passing game that we used against ecu and Montana? We are them alive with slants up the middle.

Don't say it, they found it on the last drive when they should have been going to the sidelines! Worst clock management in a while. Looked like they were driving only down a touchdown or field goal. Hope it is just new coaching and young team. Hopefully we get to the playoffs but don't see us making a run.

Positive, nice return by Washington! 99yds! Been a while!


Just my thoughts from the game! THROW IT TO PRICE DEEP!!!
GO APPS! Beat western!

The penalty is 30 yards from the point of the kick, after the 15 yd penalty we kicked from the 20. 20 + 30 =50.

Didn't have time to throw it deep to Price. In addition to his 6 dropped passes, the line wasen't giving anyone time to throw down field.

And the penalty on 3rd down late was NOT roughing the passer. It was unnecessary roughness. You cannot just go light the QB up after hes already handed the ball off because your assignment in a triple option D is the QB. Again this was poor discipline on the team. I know many fans didn't like the call, but it was correct.

It's drilled in their heads all week to hit their man in the backfield whether he has the ball or not and that is all they have seen all game is 4 different players running the ball, you can't penalize them for that. It wasn't late and was not on purpose. It was playing the play out. What if it had been faked and he did have the ball and our man quit on the play? That is exactly how you get burnt against them. What if the hit had been on the pitch man? No flag would have been thrown and everyone would have said good play. This play, good discipline.

Now the flip in the end one, completely stupid.

There is a difference in hitting your man, and knocking the crap out of him. To me, it was stupid, because he clearly didn't have the football. He just was playing his man, and wanted to go hit somebody. Good in thought, but I understand why the ref threw the foul. He was out of the play and moving away from the action. Not saying I would have flagged it, but it was a 50/50 call imo.

I believe you are speaking of 2 different plays - the one where the OL didn't move - they are taught to hold their position when the defense jumps - the refs missed it but on that play JJ was sacked

the "supposed" fumble occurred on a different play ---
"Montani Semper Liberi"

The Dude Abides!!!
