These sunbelt officials are awful, watching Southern/Marshall, they just mad a game changing mistake.

Does Gillin (or the account) actually respond to emails? About to send my 4th of the season.

He responded to an inquiry I had earlier this year.

I miss Taylor Lamb and Satt calling plays.

Remember all the people talking about what Taylor couldn't do? The one thing he did do was play smart, and that turned into a lot of wins.

I was one of those people. Always used to complain about his limited ability to throw a deep ball.

Absolutely the smartest qb I’ve ever seen play for us though. Consistently made good decisions and that is an incredibly underrated skill. And by god the man won football games. Great player and leader.

I will respectfully disagree....the Sunbelt is a better conference and App St. is not as good. Not sure Taylor would survive with this Oline. If joey and Kanye had that OL, we would not be talking about Taylor.
My observation is that Ponce play calling in totality is not helping us either. 14 had his best game of the season. ..and at times still did not feed him. 3rd and 8 is not the time to go long ....2 and 2 or 3 is the time. I get we need to go down field from time to time. However, it is never set up prior to the play. We had 3 drives killed due to his play calling (not including drives with TOs)...just my opinion..

Haha that’s good news, but this is no inquiry!

Our defense is why we are losing but our offense is what concerns me. It is a horrible design. It is low percentage "hope" plays. We have zero chance with this offense. It is so predictable or it is a pass off Joey's back foot to a hot dog.

Zero coaching. It is sad. I hope we win a couple and make it to a bowl. I think we have the talent but just a joke of a game plan.

It is as if the coaches are scared of the players.

Our offensive plays have 5 players trying to block 8 defenders. 4 out wide with keaiden in motion amd then run with defensive ends crashing tackling from behind. It is not going to work.

I would honestly like to know the offensive playcalling structure. Is it all ponce? Does anyone else influence pre/in game calls or personnel adjustments?

At least Stink is getting their a$$ kicked at the moment

That did not age well
Damn, stink pulled it out

This is not what many want to hear, but I believe this was the most effort we've seen from the team in a month.
It's clear that most of these kids play really hard and they want to win. And it was also great to see some younger guys get snaps on defense.

And it's easy to say "Joey is regressing," but why is he struggling? Rarely is one reason to blame for a player's struggles. Is the scheme too complex? Is he being asked to conform to a pocket passer role when that doesn't play to his strengths? Does he feel too much responsibility to help the team win, which leads to bad decisions? Is it that preseason hype was way too high and now he feels responsible to live up to it? Maybe he's a 21-22 year old kid who has the weight of the world on him right now.

I'm not giving him an out. And I'm not trying to polish a turd. But having played and coached the game, I'm saying there can be multiple reasons why he's having a tough season.

[311neers]

UNCConcord is 3-3.
EasyU is 3-3.
Neers 2-4.

That hurts to look at.

[BambooRdApp]

This isn't going to make many people feel better, but I do believe this is the most effort we've seen from the team in a month.

We win the game if not for TOs
Seems we made some adjustments on D. ...or some of it may have been due to less mobile QB.

Best effort all season to be honest. And we still lost to a not great ull team.

[Saint3333]

Where was that effort @ Clemson, first quarter of ECU, all game at home versus USA and Marshall.

Season starts in September not when our backs are against the wall.

Our issues have gone from effort to situational decision making by our QB and play calling/clock mgmt.

The results unfortunately however are the same, we just give the viewer hope to watch beyond halftime.

[Saint3333]

That ULL team was probably 7th best we’ve played against them.

8-0 pre Clark
0-4 post Clark.

[311neers]

Very nice gesture from ULL playing our fight song last night. But not a nice gesture by beating us.

[Appmountaineers19]

One thing that I’ve observed over the last couple years and maybe it’s been addressed. Why doesn’t the offense ever run pre-snap motion? I see it once or twice a game and they’re successful. But for 95% of the time they’re in a base concept that is very predictable. Using motion is the ultimate cheat code. That’s just my two cents. I just didn’t know if anybody had any insight.

Maybe our coaches aren't smart enough to figure that out. They could possibly see this post but I'm doubting they can read very well.

[Stonewall]

Watching replay. 4 makes really bad decisions. Beyond the TOs. Certainly poor line play is a factor but I’m about over the hype.

It really is wild why we don’t do it. Most NFL and high level college teams motion well above 50% of the time. Watch any big football school on Saturdays.
Our system is essentially 4 wide- RPO slants, seams or in breaking dig routes. And the occasional incomplete throwaway fade to Stroman.

Also, where is the pistol? At least motion the back out of that.

If you are referring to Joey, and are serious, we may have finally agreed on something.
