Two things that make me nervous.


Dec 5, 2016, 7:56 AM

1. Our Defense....seems to play great at times but then not keep the foot on the throat. Secondary is suspect. Losing O'Daniel hurt us against VT. I hope to never see the "no rush" play again as long as I live.

2. Our play-calling....our co-offensive coordinators seem to be bi-polar. We often go away from something that is working before the other team has stopped it. 2nd down is often very predictable.

Yes...we are 12-1, I'm thrilled to be back in the play-off. I love this team! But these are two things I think we have to sew up. Thoughts? or your concerns?

GO TIGERS!!!

My shrink tells me (weekly) that anxiety over things I/we have no control over is common. Then he tells me to change my pull-ups, see you next week and pay the nice young lady on the way out. Does that help! AND I've saved you the $25 copay! ??

But seriously, you're not alone! Play calling; killer instinct; the occasional error; and getting outplayed every so often, are all part of the game... EVEN losing a game, though we've had a pretty amazing run in that area the past few years, eh?!

Bottom line: You gotta believe in our coaches and our young men playing! They REALLY do have a 'habit' of coming through in the crunch!

Whatever choice(s) you make makes you. Choose wisely.

Agreed...I think our experience from last year gives us a slight advantage too. When Brent has a month our Defense seems to be very very good. Kinda why I wanted Bama first! :)

How about punting? Some of the punts look like a C team is out there. The inability to flip field will cost them in either next game or the natty.

Yea he hasn't been great this year but against VT was his worst game. Hope he grows.

Its our current punter the only one on the team who can poling?

Kickoffs have also gotten shorter as season goes on


Dec 5, 2016, 9:13 AM [ in reply to Re: Two things that make me nervous. ]

We were seeing about 65% of our kickoffs get into the EZ earlier in the season. But, we produced only one touchback last Saturday night.

Meanwhile every single one of Va Tech's kickoffs produced a touchback !

Fortunately, we're covering kickoffs much better this year. And truth be told, our kickoff return guys don't usually get much when they have the chance, so getting to start on the 25 is not a big disadvantage.

So you are cool with the middle east and border security?***

Yes. Our talent has covered some poor play calling.***
