Is MJ a better blocker than TE? I know on one play TE didn’t fair well against the blitz, but it was a definite mismatch.
Wrong, I don't get mad about a game ever... especially one played by dudes who were just in high school, that's the difference some take this waaaay too seriously and I just try to show my optimism. I've never heard being optimistic and not stressing over games was a bad thing except on this board. Real life, family illness, bills etc that's shit to really worry about not a game. Just saying
Napier is a smart guy. He’s done so many great things for this program and seems to really understand talent evaluation, coaching, player, skill level… It’s mind-boggling that he doesn’t understand matchup issues, route trees, or a modern passing game in today’s college football. You have to think that he looks around at the landscape of college football And says “what are they doing that we are not doing “. We now have so many examples of, when this offense works it really works, but there are two or three things a defense can do no matter the talent level… See Vanderbilt, see South Florida, see Charlotte, see Kentucky… To take away what he wants to do and he has no answers for it. We are not going to win championships , I don’t care how many years you give Napier or how patient you are or how much talent you get in here… We will not win championships until he understands modern college football.
I’ll saw this…Jalen will be the fastest QB we face this year and outside of a few nice runs he had, we did a good job containing him which i liked
Or alternatively hires an offensive coordinator who understands modern college football and delegates complete responsibility to him for running the offense and calling plays.
Yea he's super slippery. Daniels has wheels as does KJ Jefferson even though he's not as fast, he's bigger so that'll be a test as well. Good to get that "exposure" to it early in the year
Didnt a P5 team score over 70 points this season? I hear you, but this game was not a blowout but a grind....it should have been a blowout but for whatever reason it was not. Nobody seemed ready (Coaches and Players). This team is not use to winning big games and then focusing on the next game. Hopefully, that will change. UK currently owns us...hopefully that changes this weekend!
I’d argue that we have seen perhaps one good half, I don’t count the ones against teams like McNeese. Further I’d say the one against Tennessee was somewhat suspect, they are a bad football team this year, but at least they Gators looked like a team fielded by a top university momentarily.
Seems to me, BN likes/wants this ball control type of O and so you're probably right, Sale seems likely the candidate to be "OC" since its basically the samo samo. I like you prefer a more wide open style of O but I just don't see BN going that route. This kind of O has little room for error.
You're a smart guy, why don't you volunteer to sit down with Napier and educate him on all the finer points of a modern passing game. i'm sure he would greatly appreciate being tutored by someone of your knowledge and experience.
Also wanted to add that I think Raymond is going to move Bryce Thorton around like he did at LSU with Honey Badger and i’m all for it
