Calahan Bashing

Keeping an defense off balance is throwing the ball 55 times?  You'd think after about 30 attempts, they'd get the hint.  Maybe that's shame on ISU D-coordinator.

I'm not going to argue with more than 400 yards and a win.

Maybe it is, until somebody comes in, and slaps us in mouth like that. Which i'm hoping doesn't happen.

I thought we were talking about our offense? Isn't this is a problem for our defense? You know, the one that's won all our games for us. Unless I'm misunderstanding. Which is possible, that doesn't make much sense right there.

Did I ever even say that? The only thing i've kept saying, is the fact that it's stupid, yes STUPID, to throw the ball on short yardage situations. Especially when you're on the goal line, and the game is hanging in the balance? That's just retarded.

Sure did. "Well, I wouldn't have the disdain for BC, if he didn't have the audacity to come in here, and change the offense. If me modified it, ok, but to flat out change it, that's assinine." See, modify means it's still a Power I. Flat out change means it a West Coast. The question is, would you rather Callahan spent the next 3 or 4 years learning how to run a Power I or would you rather he installed the offense he already knows?

wow, are you in politics, you're sure good at putting words in peoples mouths, while whenever I mention the fact that they should run the ball in short yardage situations, you don't say a word...

But yet I digress...

What part of "modify" don't you understand. What I mean by modify is, that when it's 2nd and goal, inside the 3 yard line, you should run it. You run the ball to run out the clock. You run the ball when it makes sense to run the ball. Not put the ball up on short yardage situations that common sense would tell you, you should run the ball.

that clear enough?

Well aside from the fact that you hadn't mentioned running on the 2 until after you said that, I guess I can't be forgiven for asuming you were talking in broad strokes. Either way, if it was a misunderstanding, I'll take the fault and drop it.

I've already responded to not running on the 2. Doesn't bother me at all. But hey, I'm a Broncos fan, maybe that just comes with the territory.

I was goin off about it yesterday. I'm not saying run the ball 90% of the time, although, I would be ok with that, he needs to run it when it is warranted. That's what drives me nuts about him.

I see why we have this major misunderstanding...

You're a Bronco fan...

 
but were the majoity of the routes that passes were completed on were slants, or am I wrong?

On TV it looked like several slants were completed, but there were also a lot of open guys coming across the middle and several curl routes that were hit.

As for folks complaining about not running the ball enough, there's little reason to run the ball when the pass is working well enough. We did pound the ball into the endzone in the first OT. Aside from that, the pass worked pretty well earlier in the redzone but Todd and then Hardy dropped the ball. The time before that we tried to run Ross up the middle twice and got stuffed. Whoever it was that said above that we've had red zone problems for the last 3 years was correct. This is a problem that's plagued the offense for awhile now, exactly why I'm not sure other than defenses are willing to but 9 guys within 2 yardsof the LOS against us near the goal line. I don't think its BC being stubborn or trying to be fancy in any way.

Hey now, we don't need to get into that here. That's what the woodshed's for! :)

Besides, who's 3-1 and who's 0-3?

IMO you've got to tip your hat to Callahan. The guy took two weeks and got the offense together enough to put up some serious production yesterday. True we still struggled in the red zone, but not when it mattered the most. We came out and executed against what is arguably the best defense we've faced so far. I've been waiting to say this...Great Job Coach. :thumbs

 
I would have liked to see a balanced offense with the ability to run it in from the 5 yd line. I really thought that we couldn't win with just a passing attack, but BC proved me wrong. You don't have to have a running game to beat ISU.

Based on NU offense for the first 3 games, the game strategy against ISU was wrong, BUT CALLAHAN PROVED THAT PAST GAMES DON'T DICTATE WHAT THIS TEAM IS CAPABLE OF DOING!

The offense has been a suprise all season. There is no way I can guess what will happen against TT, but I have to praise BC for coming up with the winning strategy against ISU. Who would have thought we could suddenly pass for 400+ yds against the best team we faced to date? Nothing in the first 3 games would have lead you to that strategy. BC just bet the farm on his trust of ZT and the unproved receivers.

Now lets beat TT!

GBR

When do the anti-BC surface again? Are they fair weather fans, if and only if, we win every week? Will they ever eat crow and admit they were wrong? Just wondering!

they surface after wins and losses. For wins, they come out and try to run the moment by criticising every play we didn't score a touchdown on. For losses, they come out and give you the old "i told you so" speech

I'm gonna say this once, but throwing the ball up that much is for friggin pansies. Oh yeah, it looks pretty on the highlight reels, but I miss the days of the ground and pound.

So a receiver going across the middle is sissy football? Did you see Grant Mulkey dragging three ISU defenders to get extra yardage? Or Cory Ross knocking some ISU blitzers on their backsides pass blocking?

As far as throwing from the inside the 5 on second down. I've got news for you more then probably half the teams in the nation do that or have done that. But I forgot you know a little bit about football so you probably already knew that.

Run=Good

Pass=Bad :bang :bang :bang

I think you used up this arguement ALL of freakin last year. Move on dude.

 
:blink:
Did you just say you think the coaching staff did a good job this week?  Mark that one down.  That game was awesome, take away the Taylor fumble, 2 missed tackles in the secondary, Hardy's dropped pass and the stumbling near the goal line and NU played the game that it wanted to.  NU outplayed ISU today and didn't need to steal this win.  Hats off to the coaches and the players, they came to play yesterday.

Dude, I call it like it is, but sometimes others dont want to believe it :thumbs I agree with almost everything you said, except that I feel that the teams were very evenly matched, NU only truly outplayed ISU in OT.

You can also say what you want about dropped passes, fumble, missed tackles, etc, and it is very true. It is also true that NU is 2 plays from being 2-2 right now.

Hats off to them :clap though because they overcame adversity and found ways to win.

eh, i'm more willing to believe chinese hackers have hijacked his account and are spreading disinformation.
