Exactly, Herdon2. Doc, thanks to his buddy, Hammy, is locked into a lucrative, long term contractive (and, Tee Hee, ole Hammy made sure to take care of Number 1, cause he got MU to lock him into one too).
Back to football itself. Let's discuss "line play". Our defensive front four plays basic, straight vanilla style, i.e., no stunts, looping, etc. Result, they seldom beat their offensive counterparts straight on, despite the glowing reports on how we are constantly setting new records in the weight room. So, to compensate, we sort of "cheat" our inside linebackers up into "gaps". Result: Akron QB quickly fakes to rb, straightens up, throws quick dart on slant pattern to wide receiver who takes couple quick steps off the line and then slants into the open area vacated by our inside linebackers who are cheating on the run!!!
Fact, our front four never got any significant pressure on Akron's QB. Question: Aren't our defensive front 4 taught that if "you can't to the QB", get a hand and arm up into his face or into his passing lanes"? Apparently not. Guys, Akron was throwing quick slant passes all day- - -these types of passes are thrown on a line, not a lot of air under them. Doesn't it make sense if you the DL coach that someone would pull over a Ryan Bee, or others and say, "hey, you're a 6'7" D end, if you can't get to him, get into his view and throw up your arms and jump". Did you see any of our D linemen do this? Did you see even one of Akron's passes knocked down at the line of scrimmage? Me Neither!!! Total pathetic and "INEPT" Coaching, IMO!!
