not defending Lightbourn but if your answer to not having punts returned for touch downs is to kick it toward the sidelines you have deeper issues. Also on returns its bothers the hell out of me that they don't block the long snapper. He's the first guy down the field and puts pressure on the returner. I know a lot of teams don't because they figure its the long snapper but damn. If you aren't going to block the kick you should block everyone you have a man for.

His comments pail in comparison to what the players are saying to each other on the field. I know everyone thinks you get flagged for that stuff but you would be surprised at what you can say pretty loudly before a ref will even come to you and say hey watch your mouth. I used to have calm full blown conversations with opposing players laced with expletives. These aren't college kids they are men at this point. My coach never cussed but didn't stop me or my teammates from having vocabularies like sailors.

can we all just take turns sending this clip to his coach and request he doesn't play anymore?

oh i bet Bookie is gonna be happy

ha... that was from march. I thought this was something new

lets get them on the schedule.

Part of the problem now is that they have a reputation.. The penalties won't stop this year

Has anyone said 21 is really bad yet? Oh they have!? See you next week to say the same thing

I learned the defense is much better without 21 on the field. He was on the field for all of Wisconsin's big plays. Not saying they were all his fault but his effort makes my eyes hurt

and the better you are on 1st and 2nd down helps with how good you are on 3rd down. Lets face it, over the lasts couple of years they haven't been good on downs 1 through 4

I dont care if he bought in or not. What I do care about is that he turned into Ty-rex Lindsey while trying to catch passes over the middle. Also that he can't block or break tackles

I was Hoping Honas would be an impact player. On the other hand it should lead to more PT for Collin Miller who I think can be pretty good. He's got a good motor. He's also from the same town in IN that Randy Gregory is from.

Anyone looking to leave from this team will most likely end up at a non power 5 school

I hope he doesn't break his arm and then have it heal weird so he can throw a baseball 100 mph. Someone with a very similar name did that once

Can D Williams or Dismuke play corner? I like their aggressiveness. I think Lee is better than Jackson but not by much

always hated that. Work on a play you know is coming all week and then act like you've never seen it. Or when you are on the sideline and you say "Hey 21 its coming your way" and they act surprised when it comes their way.

Something I did when I coached (At a HS that reminds me of the state this team is in now) would ask the players how many of them thought they were men. Just about all of them would raise their hands except maybe a few freshman. I would then tell them they are going to be treated like men. I then explained most of them would probably take their last snap of football in HS and then enter the workforce. In the workforce there are consequences for being late or not performing. Playing time is "pay". If you are late to practice or meetings i dock your pay. If you aren't performing you will be docked or given a performance improvement plan. If you do too many of any one thing you will be fired. I had kids that were late to practice because they couldn't stop talking long enough in the locker room to get their pads on in a timely manner. When they sat out a quarter for however many times they were late they stopped being late. Nobody likes to work and not get paid. Minor things can turn people around real quick

part of the problem is 21 cant guard his shadow. If he doesn't need constant help from the safety then you can blitz Mo B and have the safety take the TE. You can still have your 2 high safety look but have more pressure on the QB. If we dont have guys who can guard man to man for more than 3 sec there's not much you can do. We already know we don't have the horses up front to get to the QB on a consistent basis with only 4 rushing

For one of our opponents next year so we know where the easy yards are

Hopefully they don't see any 3 and 17 because their conversion rate on those type of plays will go up as well.

Whoops

Dear Lord baby Jesus pleas don't let Nebraska lose to Purdue.. I really don't want to hear my two Purdue Alumni sisters talk trash. If they only win one game this year let it be this game.

I think the defense can be very solid. Replace a few parts and they could be good. The main problem I see is something I was told as a player and something I told players as a coach. If you aren't sure what to do or a play breaks down then its time to become a football player. Too many times have I seen guys in the first 3 games just stand there like a deer in headlights after the play has started and then still look lost after they get moving. It's not rocket science. Just go to the ball. I like Mick but he's pretty useless in the middle. I know his job is probably just to eat double teams but he comes off the ball super slow and does nothing to disrupt the middle of the line. Lamar Jackson needs to ride pine or find another position. Maybe he can return punts. Young needs to step up and has been inconsistent. I think the offense needs to attack down field more often. Although it doesn't help we dont truly have a deep threat. Or run deep drags with someone other than alligator arms Lindsey. O line should just cut every play....o wait they suck at that too.

I learned we are good at turning 3rd and 2 into 4th and 6.

Lamar Jackson at QB where his mentality belongs
