LaunchCode Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I've learned: With good coaching you're supposed to play better after your tuneup game and clean up all the first game mistakes. We doubled down on first game mistake in game two. Thank goodness we didn't start with two road games. The O-line has regressed from last season I don't understand or like our play calling and personnel decisions, but opposing teams do. I'm calling BS on all the big talk in the off season on the intensity of the new conditioning regiment. In two games in not stretch of the imagination have we looked like the better conditioned team in the 4th quarter. Lastly I learned I should probably not post immediately following a loss especially at home to Troy. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't buy that Frost will accept kids accepting losing. 1 Quote Link to comment

I wonder if they hold themselves to impossible standards. Losing to Troy is frustrating but not completely unexpected. This team was awful last year and troy is a solid team. Way too many of our fans do not realize that we are now a little fish in a big pond. Proof? Troy was just as athletic as we were, and they flat beat us - at our house. 1 Quote Link to comment

Rebuild or not, that effort and attitude needs to be seen by the players on the field. Not just in press conference answers. Quote Link to comment

redout22 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 We look like the kid who disappears under the blanket. like we know it's happening but we still cry when we realize it's happening Quote Link to comment
Bball1091 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 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. 1 Quote Link to comment
Michiganball Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Very self destructive team. 21 penalties in 2 games, loads of sacks and turn overs. QB needs better protection. Need Martinez back. Defense is actually pretty good, only 2 scores came from their offense. still aggressive so they will allow some big plays. They are the bright spot. Offense might have been also with the better QB. Really though, what a complete bummer that game was, did not expect this at all. 4 Quote Link to comment

I don't buy that Frost will accept kids accepting losing. I don't either. Today I saw kids accustomed to losing. Kids who are "excepting of" if not "expecting to". It's been like this for years even under Pelini. The one gut punch, kick in the junk that the team can't/won't overcome. It's gonna take years to unmuck that proraming...... 1 Quote Link to comment

Not really the attacking defense we’re said to be 5. Not capable of generating turnovers 6. Going to be disappointed a lot this year Agree with all but 4. 1 is maybe. We are attacking. We blitz more than sit back in soft zones keeping everything in front of us....hence the big plays given up. Results don't show a successful attacking defense necessarily but it is the philosophy we are practicing. Quote Link to comment
Dbqgolfer Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I learned that having to rely on a third string quarterback two weeks into a rebuilding year can be quite detrimental....certainly not a surprise though. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post runningblind Posted September 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2018 I learned that the level of knee-jerk overreactions to an early rebuild season loss with a third string walk on QB can be quite astonishing. 8 6 Quote Link to comment
bhunt7 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 My take away is that we are not good enough to run the ball up the middle 70% of the time and score points. We stayed extremely conservative today on offense which put a lot of strain on our defense. We will lose them all if the playcalling is ever that conservative again. 4 Quote Link to comment
