In all honesty, this offense hasn't looked good since the Georgia game. You can argue we played well against Wake Forest...but it was Wake Forest. We struggled against SC State, NCS, BC, and definitely against FSU. It seems to me, we don't have the team chemistry thing working. Let's wait and see how the season plays out, buy if we lay an egg at Scar offensively in Nov. trouble will be brewing.

Re: not sure how I feel about the "17-3 on the road" remark


Oct 22, 2013, 11:40 AM

He said 17-3 in our last 20 total games, not road games, but that's just a detail. To address your actual point, I think it's a good thing that he (and the team) are looking ahead and not dwelling on the loss.

Yep Seckinger sure is playing well


Oct 22, 2013, 11:18 AM

Fumble on the first play and 3 drops. Lets give this guy the MVP ASAP.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Yep Seckinger sure is playing well


Oct 22, 2013, 11:21 AM

I was thinking the same thing....at least as far as the FSU game, he played very poor. The first fumble...tons of dropped passes...He wasn't no where near his best. He looked better in the UGA game than he did in the FSU game.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Yep Seckinger sure is playing well


Oct 22, 2013, 11:33 AM [ in reply to Yep Seckinger sure is playing well ]

He did have a bad game Sat., but until then, he had been very dependable and had made a lot of good plays. There were many on the team who played much worse than at any time this year, and that can be said for the OL, the DL, the QB, some of the receivers, you name it. A lot of that had to do with FSU, but some of it had to do with getting out of sync so early and not being able to recover. Credit FSU for some of that too. IMO

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yea... my problem with that is he was originally our #3


Oct 22, 2013, 11:36 AM

Why is Coop not starting again... he's clearly healthy. Leggett? Healthy.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Yea... my problem with that is he was originally our #3


Oct 22, 2013, 10:31 PM

Now let me start by saying I don't know the real reason the other guys aren't starting in front of Seckinger. All around, Stanton may be the best player. I can't say. He did have a bad outing Sat. So did a bunch of our players. Sometimes it has to do with who is practicing and showing up everyday ready to perform. Sad, but sometimes the most gifted don't put forth the effort in practice, and coaches rarely let that slide. I do like playing the best players, but I also understand a guy can't coast during the week and expect the coaches to just forget the lack of work ethic. Not saying that is the case here, but it must be something if better guys aren't getting the PT.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Not to mention he can't block to save his life***


Oct 22, 2013, 11:56 AM [ in reply to Yep Seckinger sure is playing well ]



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

And THAT is the biggest problem of all


Oct 22, 2013, 12:45 PM

Not only do our TEs not block very well, at sometimes touch no one at all, but they don't seem to read and adjust well either.

Sometimes I think Dabo just makes the kind of public statements he does for morale reasons. I have to think he and Morris are very clear to the players what problems they see. But everyone needs to FIX them, and not just DISCOVER them.

Sorry Dabo, but if we played FSU 10 times


Oct 22, 2013, 11:22 AM

we'd lose 8 or 9 times. They are just better than us. Just need to go out there and recruit a little better..

This interview really pisses me off.


Oct 22, 2013, 11:24 AM

I love Dabo, but HATE the way he tries to make excuses and trying to make things sounds better than they, especially using meaningless, pre-rehearsed stats to back it up. It's his WORST trait... this from a Dabo fan.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: This interview really pisses me off.


Oct 22, 2013, 11:39 AM

Dont see it that way. He stated over and over that they take accountability, and it starts with him. He was just reiterating the point, that we are not as bad as we played.

Watch the interview, don't read the select bullets out of context and draw conclusions.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Don' care how its phrased...


Oct 22, 2013, 11:41 AM

"But but but... we're 17-3... and they've all been top 10, so it's not so bad right?"

I want to hear that we sucked. period. That we hurt ourselves, we made mistakes and coaching errors, lacked preparation. I don't care if they're #1 or #101 in the nation we lost BAD.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Don' care how its phrased...


Oct 22, 2013, 11:48 AM

That is not how leaders handle things, son.

I see you graduated in 2011 per your username, so you are a spring chicken.

If you destroy your kids confidence by saying they suck in public, you can rest assured that they will not fight for you or trust you.

Behind the scenes, I guarantee you ##### are being cut. You don't say that at a press conference.

You say hey, we didn't play well, we made multiple mistakes, we all take accountability, and we are anxious to go play again and get it out of our system.

If a reporter asked him is FSU just that much better, he is of course going to say no, we are not as bad as we played.

Think about it.

You dont destroy your kids in front of media hacks.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Spring chicken? I've been watching Clemson fooball for


May 28, 2014, 1:00 PM

20 yrs, so don't insult me.

Secondly, I was obviously exaggerating, and I agree with you'r point... it's the 17-3 thing that bothers me... the "But they're a top 10 team" justification that grinds my gears.

You're right, don't berate your players, but don't justify they're bad play either.

I agree. Seems like excuses from what I read. I will of course go listen to the actual interview.

But to think we beat FSU 5 times is ridiculous. He is one heck of a salesman.

Now, I'm hoping what he says in the interview is different behind closed doors to the team.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I just hope he's only like that to the public


Oct 22, 2013, 11:57 AM [ in reply to This interview really pisses me off. ]

accepting failure. It's like his personality won't allow him to do it sometimes. He's such a defensive person, it makes him say dumb, emotional things at times.

Respectfully disagree on the we'd go 5-5 against them if


Oct 22, 2013, 11:25 AM

we played 10 times. No way based on what I saw Saturday.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Based on Saturday, we would in 0 out of 10 against them.


Oct 22, 2013, 11:27 AM

I don't think that is true in reality. I think we would win 3-5 out of 10, but based on Saturday, we wouldn't have a chance.

we beat FSU 5 out of 10 times if we play them 10 times? Isn't that a totally asinine speculation to make under any circumstances... much less after they just dismantled you at HOME?

Coaches should never say crap like that.

but yes I agree, horrible comment. Dabo needs to stop making excuses for that debacle. Just admit we got r*ped and that it was inexcusable to lose that way.

Seckinger Playing Well???? Really


Oct 22, 2013, 1:12 PM

Seems we have a coach who is out of touch with reality here.

Every time I saw Seckinger on the field the other night, he was fumbling or dropping things.

Come on Dabo, quit babying these guys.

Now maybe behind the scenes you are saying things differently, then that is fine.

So FSU has very little weaknesses but we'd win 5 out of 10


Oct 22, 2013, 4:21 PM

When we're not even "majoring in the minors"? Come on Dabo. I know there's such a thing as coach-speak, but let's keep it real. FSU is fundamentally the better team. If we played them 10 times we'd be lucky to win 2 of them with the way we're playing right now. If it's the Clemson team that played UGA then I'd agree to the 5/10 assessment.

If Dabo really thinks that we would win 5 and Fsu 5, he is either delusional or the worst judge of talent in coaching.

Everybody on here slams Spurring for beating his players in public. You don't have to praise his comments, but i for one am glad he didn't call anybody out ot belittle the young men under his charge. He said "It was all bad." He freely admits that Clemson made lots and lots and lots of mistakes, but FSU is also a really, really good team. The game's over. We lost...big time. Totally embarrassing. Panic and blame are not the solution. Truth is, did anybody really think we were going all the way after the BC game? I didn't. Onward and upward. Let's go win some more games. Im with Dabo: this was a total defeat, but our team is not as bad as that showing. Just like we're not as good as our Wake showing. That was just not our day. Next up.
