I don't buy the "different package every week" excuses. Every team in our division sees these same packages and I don't see them in the press every day saying it's a problem. On the offensive line, you need to be prepared for anything. With all the "they don't blitz much" hype we've given FSU this week in the press, I wouldn't be surprised to see them blitz the heck out of us. THEN, we could use the excuse, "oh, well, they rarely blitz, so they threw something different at us that we weren't expecting. Otherwise, we played great."
I'm tired of excuses EVERY SINGLE WEEK! Our coaches need to get these kids ready to play each team regardless of their schemes. Period.
What makes this even worse is that it appears every team that plays us knows EXACTLY what to expect from us every week.

"When asked about the pass/run ratio out of the shotgun, Swinney indicated he did not believe Clemson had any liabilities related to tendencies. "
Don't think he (they) get it, but opposing coaches certainly do.

Having tendencies isn't a problem if we execute well. Like the Nebraska or Oklahoma or Clemson teams of the 80s, or the Soutnern Cal teams of the 70s.
I think the coaches are exactly right - our problem isn't our formation or play-calling tendencies, but the fact that we don't execute well. Which is really just another tendency (the tendency not to execute well).

football coach (they don't do my job and I don't do theirs). It just seems that it's not the play calling, but the dropped passes, poor throws, missed kicks etc.

so maybe I am qualified to tell them.
Apparently drunk monkeys and opposing coaches know to put 8 in the box when we go under center and drop 6 when we're in the gun. I think our offensive (any and all meanings) stats testify to this.

back up these comments that you sling around. Yeah it's a message board and you have the right to say whatever you want within reason. But if you want to criticize our players, who practice hard everyday, work their butts off, go to school, and still have personal lives, then maybe you should go tell them your opinion yourself if you really want to be heard. Since I'm sure all you probably do is watch the game from your couch on Saturday with beer in hand that you are definitely qualified. Right?

Great speech

but where did I criticize the players? Assuming you can read, I am criticizing the guys making $1,700,000 per year and, quite frankly, based on performance they should be criticized.

then you are on the wrong thread because obviously

you didn't read the original post that i was responding to. If you read that guy's post then you would know what I was talking about. He is saying our players are making excuses, which they aren't, they are telling it like it is. We are lucky they even talk to the media, I know if I was playing I sure as hell wouldn't every say a friggin' word to the media. If you want to talk about "drunk money" or "drunk monkeys" whatever the heck that is, then feel free, I'm not going to stop you from making a fool of yourself.

Whoa, hold on Hoss,
You are getting a mite upset about nothing more than someone voicing their opinion about an underachieving FB team. Obviously, we all had high expectations coming in to the season, and luckily, we are still in the hunt. Dalton Freeman is a fine FB player and tremendous competitor, as are many other players. Truthfully, we have tremendous talent, as we have had for a while.
Now, on to the solution. Let's look at the problem within itself: we have veteran Def. coaches in Steele, Brooks, etc., who are coming up with good game-plans for the last few weeks. On the other hand, we have a HC who has never even been an OC, and who promoted a younger (inferiority complex showing through here) WR/unproven coach to be his OC. Who does such a thing with their first head coaching job. He also retains an OL coach who has never produced dominant, physical OL's. Go back to his FSU days to present and you'll see more finesse OL's with screens and shielding defenders on run plays rather than knocking them off the ball.
So, there it is. That's my analysis of the Clemson FB team. Have a nice day!

Good Analysis! I like it. Pretty good facts.

Don't know why most posters can't actually provide insight into coaching like this. Not bad at all my friend.
