Good start to the second half, Blackshirts.

Ty Robinson is a monster.

He looks MUCH more nimble this year

We have 100 combined yards of kick & punt returns.

We had 334 yards combined in 2023.

Definitely a noticeable difference. Love it.

It is quite strange seeing a punt receiver actually have someone with the same uniform even in the picture when he catches the ball, I don't remember the last time we had any type of blocking for the guy.  I only remember seeing the opposite team with 3-4 players down there and eventually our guys come into the picture when the play is done.

We actually have space for the punt returner to return it. It's nice when we have them back far enough that they can't pooch it inside the 20 all the time

Carter > Fidone. 

 

[LumberJackSker]

Nice catch and then a great block by banks.

 

[knapplc]

Contrast Carter Nelson with Fidone. Completely different look when they get the ball.

 

[lo country]

I'm thinking Banks/Neyor will get a lot of DPI calls in the end zone.  Mismatches for sure.

 

[knapplc]

That I-formation TD was as pretty as the 1980s.

 

[chamrocck]

Turn the lights out with GE. 

 

[knapplc]

Wonder if we'll see Dowdell again or if Rhule sends a message.

Fidone looks to have minimal effort or urgency.  Perhaps just the routes he has?  Trying to figure it out.  He should be able to out physical most of the D except for DT's.

Wonder if we'll see Dowdell again or if Rhule sends a message.

No way he gets another snap today. Next week may be different, he was looking really good before the fumble so I do hope he gets another chance at some point

This has been a nice demoralizing drive. Makes you be hopeful that the sun will shine.
