D looks very good. Punt coverage looks great Finn looks better than some of you think .O line not so much. Play calling is what it is.
Well itās certainly different than strategy the Bobkittens had tonight scoring 31 points tonight with over 400 yards of offense against Rutgers
Time for one of those fades Chuck loves so much.
Again, canāt blame the online when they run the same option play and try to run Madden routes instead of going for the sticks. Itās an OC/QB problem, not an OLine problem
I am not impressed with Finn as a passer.
Missing Gabbert right now
Now all you Miami +17.5 betters can start sweating.
Maybe Chuck will take inspiration from Trick and turn a few tricks himself. We have nothing to lose here. Just open up the damn playbook. Also, stick a damn coaxial cable up Fickleās ass and score the TD here.
(Grumpy I know you peddled a few of those cables back in the day and I love you for it.)
Edit: oh balls. This is bleak.
Regroup for Rutgers I guess.
Not gonna happen. Fickell will go for first downs and NOT score.
Fickell SCREWS anyone going for the spread or the over. Every. Damn. Time.
It certainly is not a QB problem. Is it an OC problem, yep. Is it an Oline problem, absolutely.
Whether ego or stubbornness, Chuck wonāt hire a real OC and give him the reins. Heās apparently satisfied with his play calling.
What more can the oline do? Every run play is up the middle, and Finn holds every pass for 5 seconds or makes a mediocre throw. Gotta help the line out!
If you didnāt like that game, you donāt enjoy Chuck Martin football
Defense came to play. Punter was good.
The Good things
- Defense hung in there really well and played a ton of different players
- I am sure there were a few but I didnt see any injuries
- Punt game looks pretty good again. Nice and high
The bad things
⢠The offensive line looks weak
The worst thing
⢠I thought we were upgrading at qb - I was wrong
Iāve seen more offensive creativity at a grade school flag football game. Chuck has a lot of great qualities but running an offense isnāt one of them
He had very little time to throw
Has Chuck Martin ever won a season opener. So frustrating every year. Wish we could have a tune up game first
