Yeah, Kesling is great if you don't mind not knowing the score and the down and distance. I feel like solid announcers should be able to properly pronounce the names of those making plays. Solid announcers also rise to the occasion on historic plays. As painful as it was, consider the hobnail...
We are really bad at defensive tackle. This means not only are we vulnerable to the run, but we are also horrible in coverage since the secondary has to take on added responsibility.
Derek Barnett was relentless, but the most difficult pressure for quarterbacks comes from the middle...
Nice post! Again though, our record is what it is and that is is pretty good. I am confident that Butch is working like heck to make our means more "sustainable." I bet we trend back toward the norm regarding fumbles and penalties. What say you?
The most important stat is record! If you'd told me before the season that we would be top ten at this point with JRM, Sutton, and Kirkland missing game after game, I'd have called you insane.
To your point, Butch and the players in some ratio bear responsibility for our obvious struggles...
Wow! We are a 5-1, top ten team. Given our injuries to legitimate all-star caliber players and the toughest of our schedule, I think Butch has done one hell of a job. And if that puts me squarely in the camp of the sunshine pumpers, then so be it!
Lord knows I love football too, but some of you cats need a second hobby. You guys are literally hanging on his every word, dissecting it like the gospel.
According to experts, Butch is assembling "program changing" talent. Let's see what he does when that talent gets some much needed...
Bad offensive line play is absolutely killing us. If you are horrible on the offensive line and also have a immobile quarterback, defense is easy. They just rush the passer and jam the receivers knowing that the quick game and screens are our only options.
I don't really blame the coaches...
