The reason DJ had 439 yds passing vs ND


Nov 26, 2022, 10:29 PM

on Nov 7, 2020.

He had receivers that could make plays and get open. End of story.

The reason was; he wasn’t a head-case yet.

Three of those receivers are still at Clemson.

Exactly!

Even the NFL is full of guys that are great off the bench, but can’t handle the pressure as a starter.

He was on target more often too

Not so much anymore.

And he threw tight spirals….hasn’t since Streeter took him over***

I wonder if this is why Cade isn’t ready yet - he hasn’t mastered the wobbling spinless throw?

So then what was the excuse last year when Streeter was not the coordinator?

A lot of those yards were those short toss-passes that are basically a handoff to Rogers and he ran for extra yards.

You are right. We have virtually no yards after catch or contact by any wideouts now. If they guys can’t get free of a defender with the ball in their hands they sure ain’t doing it running a route.

Exactly what I’ve been saying! That’s half the problem!!

You are right and I said that all year last year. Who do we have that even comes close to ETN, Rogers and Powell?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Nah, his mechanics are broken, his throws are ugly and he seems confused


Nov 26, 2022, 10:34 PM

They weren't even bothering with coverage late in the game because they knew there was no chance DJ could make a pass.

This also shows par for the course on Ngata and EJ Williams too. Bout the same impact this year as well. We haven't been the same at WR since Powell and Rodgers went pro.

Pre Dr Pepper $$$. It’s a curse.

That's definitely part of it, but he, along with our entire


Nov 26, 2022, 10:39 PM

offense, has regressed since then. It's not all DJ's fault, I agree with that, but to pretend that he personally has not played poorly the last two years is some kind of psychedelic dream fantasy. Defending his play at this point is absurd.

The problem is that it's a perfect storm. Bad quarterback play. Bad receiver play. Questionable playcalls. It's not one specific thing. They all feed into each other.

Agree 100%.***

He had nothing to lose

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It does not reduce to that . . .


Nov 26, 2022, 11:12 PM

that is a part of it, and a big part. But, if he had thrown as routinely inaccurately as he often did this year (most especially today), he would not have done that.

Re: The reason DJ had 439 yds passing vs ND


Nov 27, 2022, 12:26 AM

And he still found a way to lose that game…..and he has gone down hill from that point forward!
