The lack of an effective passing attack is biting us in the butt.

[marshall fanatic]

We need to make a change or we will lose this. This D will pin their ears back because Fancher is not a throwing threat.

[coalherd]

Pass down the seam for a TD as receiver is untouched and our DB played it like an 8th grader!!  This team is POORLY COACHED across the board here in Game 5 of the season!!

Lot of hate for Fancher but we?ve had a bunch of drops, poor play calling, bad blocking, and now a fumble.

Fancher isn't good, but neither is the rest of the team - or the staff, for that matter.

Stop it with the bad play calling. We can only call plays based off his ability and what the D is giving us. They know he can?t throw the deep ball and forcing us to throw it short.

[Herdalum83]

We are not very good.. Being 4-0 is fool's gold. Being on a 9 game-win streak is fool's gold.

Tricket is scared to death of their run defense but also doesn't trust Fancher to make a throw further than 5 yards downfield. You can't just throw screens all day. Teams will continue to just load the box and take away Ali, if you are gonna have Fancher out there you have to trust him to throw something other than a screen.

Defensively, we still haven't adjusted to stopping the delayed handoff up the middle, we just continue to let teams spread us out, and run right up the gut with no safety in the middle.

Are you satisfied with the play calling?

Bring back Doc. It will all be better.

[Herd at Work]

This offense makes Snyder's look like the West Coast offense.

[jdonaccbus]

I thought that was a horrible call on McMillan.

[goherd24]

Whoever is coaching special teams needs to find a new job

[marshall fanatic]

Are you satisfied with the play calling?

No I?m not but we are limited at QB. Just pay attention to how slow Fancher moves in the pocket and making reads.

[elginherd]

No.
But fanatic is correct. The play sheet is limited by what Fancher is able to do.

[Herdalum83]

And whose fault is that?

[goherd24]

If we want to win, need to change QBs. It is that simple. The grinding it out with defense and running game is over. Coaches have figured it out. We'll change QBs or we'll be 4-4 in a month

[marshall fanatic]

We are getting beat by a QB that had his redshirt removed on Sunday.

[puma]

I usually don't buy into the conspiracy theories but that's been 2 egregiously bad calls so far.

[coalherd]

Well, Huff won't sub for him, so unless he gets knocked out of the game, this one seems about over.  If Huff has no one better, then that is on HIM!!  Guess he's been spending a lot of time helping his wife look for houses on-line, etc., at his next Coaching stop!!

[Herdalum83]

I hated Doc and wanted him gone. Every legitimate criticism of this staff is not an "I want Doc Holiday back" post. But we fired Doc to get better.. What we are seeing right now, is not better.

[andy31]

No.
But fanatic is correct. The play sheet is limited by what Fancher is able to do.

The play sheet is also limited because we can?t effectively run the football and don?t block well. Fancher takes all the blame.

[MicDrass1]

In these games you establish the run.  Herd has not attempted to do that.  Also - lack of physicality in our OL changed dramatically once Legg took over.

[svherd]

No.
But fanatic is correct. The play sheet is limited by what Fancher is able to do.

Trickett is the issue. Same stuff at FAU. The dude has no balls. He was hired as a WR coach here. Then given the OC job, which was a pitiful appointment by Huff. Pitiful. He's supposed to be a QB coach as well. He can't do that either.


NC State is much bigger and faster. Hard to overcome that

[marshall fanatic]

Because he can?t throw. Thus not a duel threat QB. Just a running QB.

Then replace him.
