Isn't Fancher a lefty? Maybe that's another reason we brought Fancher in. It changes the blind side.
Having our quarterback sacked from the opposite side would break up the monotony. 😁
Maybe Huff just has severe OCD and needed it evened out.
Dad likes to talk, but he is right. There has been too many mixed messages sent by this coaching staff.
Ummmm, maybe Coach Brown can find an appropriate spot for him next year on his Neer staff up in the Hole!!
Brown may not be there next year. I don't see them finishing any better than 4-8 at this point. Sad thing is, he seems like a really good guy.
Good post. Agree, not sure what the coaches are seeing.
Yeahp, I thought that was odd. Personally, I see through the nice one liners. Coaching adjustments show up, so we will see if he has worked with the team this week and next to fix his smoke and mirror problems. I feel like the formations we show up with this Saturday will be an answer. I like what RhinoD said about TE. Our scheme doesn't fit our personnel. I can see a two TE, play action power running offense being more effective within 15 yards of the line of scrimmage. A former patriots type of offense. It would keep the LB's having to make big decisions. Allowing the weapons to roam. Also, having two TE's would help the blocking. See Below 81-87 are the TE in this formation. Put me in coach.
The guy is Teflon, he never goes away. Seems like I have had my “Fire Bill Legg” button for most of my adult life.
Power running is not sexy... You aren't going to hang 55 points every Saturday... It's not going to get you the next big OC job that's out there... But if that is what you have in the locker room, do it.
I'm a fan of power running. Rock Johnson was a power runner. With Cato and Johnson we averaged 45 points and 559.2 yds per game. Another stat from 2014, we were 51.2 percent on third and 50 % on 4th down conversions.
Need to be under center at least half the time
If we could push Notre Dame around like we did , we can push ANY team in the SBC around, I don't care which one it is. None of them have up front what Note Dame does across the board.
I am paraphrasing, but Huff made a comment after Notre Dame game that they would normally go up tempo, but against Notre Dame they didn't feel that would work. At the time, I thought Why even make that comment. Looking back, I think it is pretty clear that even Huff can't decide what type of offense to run.
Yea it sounds dumb. So you knew going into ND that wouldn't work, but it never dawned on him what we were doing the last 8 quarters of football wasn't working. It didn't occur to him or Clint that "oh yea. we have a stud RB" during OT against BG?
Soooo, are you saying that in the last two games the opposing coaches were playing, and were pretty adept at, chess while all the time our coaching staff was playing Chinese checkers???
If you watched the game it's like they were playing 4D Underwater Chess and we were playing Tiddleywinks.
This is what drove me crazy about the Troy game... Troy's defense did nothing "unique" or "special." They lined up their corners man-to-man, played two safeties 10-15 yards off the line of scrimmage, and then overloaded one edge and rushed off that edge. The thought being no matter who your LT or RT are, they can't block two guys. And it worked, almost every time, because no one on our side ever said "Huh, they seem to have two guys edge rush on the same side a lot."
