Houston Game Thread- BEAT THE COOGS

[BNich]

Yeah Noel scream at your teammates, that is always a good idea.

I believe he's trying to motivate them. Have you never seen this before? A senior leader, literally leading.

 

[BNich]

LOL, mercy rule?

We gave them their only loss last season. There will be no mercy tonight.

Change the batteries in your sarcasm meter. But I was also only semi kidding. 28-7 in the second quarter. Glad you're feeling more confident than I am.

So can I expect yelling at the Ryder Cup this weekend as a means of motivation for team USA ?

That would be awesome.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

I don't know. Anything that isn't defeatist, predictable and overly-conservative like they have been for the past 4 1/2 games.

Have you been watching this game? Can you tell me the last run play they ran? Can you tell me what happened when we ran plays that put three easily attainable touchdowns on the table that were promptly screwed up by a drop and two awful throws? Our coaching staff has schemed a game plan that put us in position to be TIED right now. There has been nothing defeatist or overly conservative about our offense tonight. The only thing predictable is that Thomas is outrunning their secondary left and right but BS can't hit him over the to to save his life. If you're the OC, why would you keep running that play if BS can't make the throw?

 

[BNich]

Honestly, Houston has a great defense. I'm much more disappointed in our Defense than our offense.

The offense hasn't helped the defense.

 

[Jax Husky]

NO more defensive coordinators for Head coach.

That's short sighted Pal.

If Orlando came, and let Applewhite do his thing, it would be amazing. Not allo defensive coaches are as scared as Diaco.

Look at Bellicheck and Saban. Defensive guys, who let their OC do their thing and score a ton of points.

ETA: I dont think you realize how awesome a coach Orlando is. He is a really really good football mind.

 

[BNich]

At this point, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Jordan McAfee given the chance to compete as a true frosh next year. He has more P5 offers as a QB than all of the ones we have on roster combined.

If he ever ends up at UConn.

People are frustrated - I get it. Doesn't mean they have to be rational or logical.

 

[Jimdish255]

No not turtle up at all, my point is the offensive game plan tonight, outside of the punt on the 38, is the LAST reason we're losing. Our offensive game plan tonight has put two gimme touchdowns on the plate that BS airmailed to Dallas. Our game plan put a slant route on the plate to Hergy that was dropped with a direct line to the end zone. It's not the coaching tonight.

Then we agree - I think. But my point is we need to continue to run a diverse offense even if it doesn't work here. If the play is there go for it. If we bail because of a few bad throws we'll never get the timing down. Shirreffs needs the reps in the game after being conservative for 2 years. Maybe he can't do it but the alternative is just a more agonizing slow death.

 

[BNich]

He was great against Michigan a lifetime ago.

Good for him. Another loss. Let's continue...

The coaches Defensive schemes on D were to give up 28 second quarter points.

Bob is the smartest man in the room.

 

[Stainmaster]

If he ever ends up at UConn.

Under a hypothetical new HC, retaining McAfee should be priority #1 on the recruiting trail.

 

[BNich]

WHAT THE WAS THAT

Pardon my naiveness, but I have seen many times now, care to explain?

Used as swear word. From cesspool.

 

[uconnphil2016]

PJ Fleck is looking pretty good at WMU

 

[minidarren]

This guy Danny is a super dooshbag.

 

[BlueDogs]

At some point in this decade we need a team that can compete head to head with quality teams. God I miss the old days when there was a shot.

I'm hardly absolving Shirrefs at all (or the players in general), but in light of the fact that hardly anything has gone their way offensively, along with their failure to help keep the defense off the field, then Diaco needs to adjust rather than dogmatically sticking to the script and throwing in the towel on the game like every failed game plan is just a reset button until the next game. It always looks like Diaco is playing checkers, and everybody else is playing chess.

 

[jdb50]

Hergy has a lot of potential but he missed a big chance on the slant. On offense we had our chances but missed due to execution. I would eliminate the FB from our offense. It is useless and has given us nothing but telegraphed a running play. On defense Diaco is putting a team on the field that will struggle against the pass happy teams (most of our conference) in our league. Not fast enough and the 8 to 10 yard cushion is failing.

Looks to me like he is screaming at them. I have seen players leading by high fiving each other saying they believe in them. Did that look like Thomas was trying to motivate them?

Hate when players do that. I love when players try to get their teammates fired up. Hate when they get on their teammates. Could just be me.

We have some bad players on this team. Doesn't mean they aren't trying their best. Having a teammate get on your case during a game accomplishes nothing.

 

[kemba]

Maybe I'm forgetting 1 or 2, but when were these games where we competed with a legit top 10 team on the road?

 

[Locustsalsa]

it should be tied, that mayala drop should have been a touchdown

Could be but the quarterback has missed a lot of open passes. Tough to beat good teams that way. But at least they are passing rather than running Johnson into the line three times and then punt.

 

[BNich]

That would be awesome.

Football and Golf are two completely different sports in two completely different areas. And I absolutely expect that to be a jab at my back ground.

 

[uconnphil2016]

This guy Danny is a super dooshbag.

Was thinking the same thing
