Very much like the idea of this poll. Any chance this could broken to - & + for each letter. Otherwise, I don’t think accurately portrays how one may feel. There is a lot of room between each letter.

it can be a defenseless anyone.  refs aren't trying to determine if its a concussion worthy hit, thats not the rule.

Agreed, that would be crazy subjective. Exactly, what a rule should be trying to prevent.

I know Honas missed that tackle, but God, who hasn't on this defense? I'm just saying he looked pretty quick at times. 

 

The fast play led directly to one of our scores. Three times, as many as 5 Troy defenders weren't lined up or ready. 

 

I know things are bad with kicking, but he did make two. 

 

Get off my back. I'm just trying to find some good things in a sea of negativity. 

Not on your back. We happen to disagree and I pointed out where I disagree; hence, the point of a message board. 

With that said, trying to find the positive is very therapeutic. Wish, I could do the same at this juncture. Need to give it a few more games in more opinion to see some real progress.

And before anyone goes and calls me negative, I think Frost will turn it around by year 3-4. These 3 points to me, just seem so crazy based on what have actually seen in these 2 games.

I know this won't be a real popular topic, but what positives, if any, did you all see? 

Personally:

1.There were several times our defense looked pretty athletic, Troy couldn't do much. Honas stepped in and has some speed to work with, made some nice hits. Good to see Jackson get a pick. 

 

2. While the offense sputtered most of the day, the super fast play really had Troy on their heels. I didn't think we'd see such fast play for a few more games, and we pulled it off with a walk-on 4th stringer. I'm thinking good things will happen when AM is back. 

 

3. Special Teams weren't good. But- Pickering can make chip shots, and I have a feeling it's just a matter of time before JD breaks a kick return. 

Is this a comedic post? Your three points are all things that need improvement. I will respond to each accordingly.

1. When Honas was first put in after Barry’s ejection, he attempted to arm tackle around the 8-10 yard line and gave up a missed tackle which led to a touchdown. Thereafter, agreed, he played well. Lamar Jackson got beat all game long. Specifically and in direct opposition to your point, he was lucky to have the pick, had that not been an underthrown ball, it would have been a touchdown.

2. At times, it seems that the fast playcalling is beneficial. However, sometimes in crucial downs, it seems that coaches are trying to go so fast that they sacrfice either the correct play call or having the correct personnel in the game given the down/situation. In fact, we ran the same play back to back just for sake of going fast. That is not efficient or beneficial to the team.

3. Pickering can’t hit a FG at 30+ yards apparently, which is very concerning. We have gotten no significant kick or punt return in 2 games.

They literally stacked the box every play because of no throwing threat. You have 5 blocking 7-8 almost every play. That’s on offensive playcalling and QB who can’t get it done. Sure, the OL didn’t play great today but there are plenty of others to blame as well.

How do you automatically give them the first down there without measuring this is ridiculous

Bunch has zero reads. Just stares down a wr and throws it. Doesn’t matter if he’s open or quad covered. 

So true

Big fn catch

Another flag holy cow

I feel like for some reason Ohio state has gotten away with much worse this year..

Considering that wouldn’t even be called pass interference in elementary school flag football, I can definitely see as how you may feel that way.

 No way Ohio St. gets called for that 

Softest pass interference ever

LAmar Jackson beat again geez

Only saw the play once but it looked right to me. He just isn't fast.

We rub blocked the outside/read guy (don’t think it was intentionally we just got held up and couldn’t make it to second level). He stayed home on the line. To Bunch’s credit he did look at the RB but didn’t chase the RB, so it was a tougher read on that one. But, unless the read guy chases the RB it’s usually a give

I don’t think Bunch even reads the defense on option plays...everything he does is predetermined 

Washington is a bright spot today 

We are getting some gifts today

Thanks--they may have, but I got home late from kid activities and I was skipping through to catch up. 

No worries just letting you know that I wasn’t sure either. Giving you the source I heard it from, more of a CYA move by me

What conference are these officials from? 

 

And the only thing I saw skimming first half that was consistent was the punt team. Good to see their play helped give the team a needed boost. 

Big 10 I think. I thought they mentioned it earlier this game.

Playcalling was terrible in that drive...no imagination

Needed that break

Is that arm tackling I see...think so

Just falling apart at this point...halftime can’t come soon enough

We do some of the dumbest stuff on D when it comes to penalties...last week and this week
