[Herky] Well that sucked

Sun Oct 22 11:27:56 PDT 2017

Had to let some hours pass to cool down. I agree that it starts with oline not getting the job done. It’s criminal to be wasting a talent like Wadley. 
Early in season I liked Brian’s play calling but either I’m getting more familiar with his tendencies or he’s getting more predictable as I seem to know what play is coming.  
Receivers are better this year but their hands are bricks. So bad that I expected the drop in OT. 
Felt optimistic after close games with Sparty & Penn St. but enthusiasm for the season is waning. Is it time to look forward to BB?
Go Hawks!

>> Our offense is simply awful. Start with the offensive line; run blocking is ineffective. We cannot get anything around the edges, so STOP calling the reverses and these lateral passes received behind the line of scrimmage. They don't work. The receivers are much better than last year but had a terrible day yesterday with many many dropped passes. Stanley did not have a great day but I am still optimistic about him if the coaches can develop him. But he can't be successful without a good line. There is simply no excuse for the poor line play. Poor recruiting, poor player development, maybe even poor conditioning.

>> Speaking of conditioning, I am beginning to question ours. I see a lot of hands on hips on a lot of players way too early in the game. In the second half, when we should be dominating, we run out of gas.  Maybe Doyle is just not that good anymore. Maybe the rhabdo thing should have told us that.

>> Special teams, other than placekicking, is awful. Gersonde's punting better, but not great.  The punt returning is terrible. Don't we have a coach who can teach this? Starting every offensive possession behind your own 20 is not good, particularly when your O Line is weak.
