I didn’t say that they aren’t coached up. Your words. I’m saying that the light bulb goes off for different players at different time.Yosef10 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 11:12 amI’ll also take a guess that if a man who rhymes with BEli Linkawitz was still the coach there would be much harsher takes than “oh it’s just bc the young WR weren’t coached up and ready” (that is what you’re saying by the way), but that’s another conversation for another time.

Re: Spring Practice
So you are aware of the players meeting that more or less told Clark things need to change with play calling? And from that point forward, Petersen wasn't the primary play caller?AppSt94 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 11:38 amSame.AppStateNews wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 11:36 amI get my insight directly from the horses mouth -- not a newspaper.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 11:32 amAgain.

Re: Spring Practice
We’re talking about a season that ended 3 months ago while waiting for a new one to start. This is the reason for a message board.

Re: Spring Practice
I was aware of a meeting with the team. They have had them in the past when there have been issues. What is your point? Are you saying that Peoples wasn’t able to hit the proper holes until someone else called the plays? Or that Hennigan could magically run more than a ten yard route on his bad hammy once the duties were stripped? Or that Pearson return from injury wasn’t a factor? We can agree that TP was not the ideal choice, but there was way more too it than that. I hope Clark learned his lesson. I have my concerns going forward if he has to replace Ponce down the road.AppStateNews wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 11:42 amSo you are aware of the players meeting that more or less told Clark things need to change with play calling?

Re: Spring Practice
Lol when did Peoples have trouble hitting holes? And if so, you’re absolutely certain that him not hitting holes had nothing do with defenses stacking the box even more so than usual because of how predictable (run, run, pass on 3rd and 5+) every damn series was? We’re sure about that?AppSt94 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 12:01 pmI was aware of a meeting with the team. They have had them in the past when there have been issues. What is your point?

Re: Spring Practice
You must not have read the part that said "from that point forward, Petersen wasn't the primary play caller." That is my point. And from that point forward, we looked more like App State football.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 12:01 pmI was aware of a meeting with the team.

Peoples does hit the hole a little late occasionally, I do agree with that. Pearson returning was big as well. Hennigan still wasn't able to run 10 yards against GaSo, but they put him in a spot to make plays -- the week Petersen was no longer primary playcaller. In fact, that was the week we saw some slants against a stacked box!
The problem with Petersen is it was his show only. There wasn't allowed to be any feedback from players or coaching staff during the game. It got to the point the offense at half time was quiet because nobody wanted to speak up -- until GaSo week when Petersen was no longer primary play caller. And look what happened in the second half? We came out and played App State football.
I know for a fact of one player that would have returned if he knew Petersen was going to leave. My gut is telling me two, but I know of one for sure.
Petersen's problem, and he told me this face to face, is he didn't know how to call our offense. That is why he kept calling the same plays that weren't working. He didn't know what else to call. He is a great guy and I get the desire to defend him. The injury excuse is something that can be used for a few weeks. But when that is the same excuse in game 9 of 11 regular season games, that's simply all it is -- an excuse. The half of the game other people took over play calling, those excuses were no longer needed. Why? Because they took input from players based on what they saw, allowed "group think" with the play calling, and played App State football -- with the same group of players that struggled in the first half.

Re: Spring Practice
Would love some of all the above instead of the looking in the rear view we’re doing in here.
Any updates on any of the above?

Re: Spring Practice
Hope and pray Chop is able to come back and ball out. Regardless of what happens with him and the rest of his career, we should all recognize Daetrich has an absolutely incredible amount of heart, passion, perseverance, and grit. A true Mountaineer through and through.
GO APPS!!

Awesome to see this. I honestly think if Chop stayed healthy he would have been our best back last year.

Regardless of where the information comes, I am glad Ponce is here in place of Petersen. I have hope again.

Re: Spring Practice
All I’m saying is if you do have connections, you do a bad job of giving out any of the info you do receive - you use a lot of generalizations and kinda try to mansplain the sport like we aren’t all watching the same game on Saturdays.
