We miss a point blank put back, and they drain an open 3. The whole game so far in one sequence.
We've missed 6 layups and are not closing out on their 3's.
All their 3s have been unguarded
Getting out worked and outshot. UNC 60% from outside.
I said years ago that DC isn't wrong but the way he says it really ruffles feathers. It's not exactly what he's saying, but the way he's saying it that is problematic at times.
I used to really hate it but when I take a step back, peel back the confrontational tone and just appreciate the larger point, I oftentimes agree with him. I pretty strongly disagree with the way he says most of it tho.
we are throwing up so many prayers and then just giving up open looks on the other end
I sure wish Carleigh could make a layup.
HOKIES!!!
The issue with DC is that his overall argument is almost always right, but the points he uses to make that argument are contradictory to either the argument itself or to previous points he's made as he continually moves goalposts and/or the points don't actually have any factual basis. Those two ways of arguing often render his overall argument incoherent. Then he'll double down on the incoherency, which of course drives the rest of us insane.
Teammates on the Falcons at least for a cup of coffee. Randall was signed by Atlanta as a UDFA in 2005.
I'm right there with you, bud
This article makes me pretty excited, ngl.
Agreed.
LET'S GO!!
Hope you feel better soon. In the meantime, if you can, watch on ACCNX and follow along here on the game thread. And make a bunch of comments!!!
Don't envy you at all; really, really difficult for people with skin in the game. Keep first things first.
Hell, I'm retired and have been fielding calls constantly.
Really sad I couldn't make it to the game tonight.... had it circled for a while and then running up on a deadline at work and ended up getting sick :(
After watching Corn-Fu line up in the shot gun and run up the middle over and over and over again on 3rd or 4th and 1 and get stuffed over and over and over again game after game after game, I'm willing to give the guys with the most wild ideas a chance. I mean, why not?
Positionless offense and a positionless defense is going to be interesting.
I guess if we're not going to hire known quantities just hire the guys with the most wild ideas and see if it works.
Coming off a 6 win season with a worse roster a harder schedule and 2 new coordinators, 7-8 wins sounds like a long shot
Hey, bud, take care of you. this is the offseason, we can wait.
Pry's seat is pretty warm, but it's not a hail mary season. If he wins 7 or 8 games his job is probably secure, and we have the roster to win 7 or 8 games. One thing Pry has been able to do well is build a respectable roster quickly. But he's going to need to quit finding creative ways to lose games for sure.
Say it louder for the people in the back. Defensive quality control is probably the film coach, looking at opposing offenses and self scouting the defense for weaknesses.
Correct. His job was to analyze the defense with the mind of an opposing offensive coordinator and get the DC up to speed on where opponents would attack it.
That could signal two things- 1) the Bills, one of the best teams in the NFL despite having an old stadium in an area that isn't easy to draw free agents with owners who have a mixed record of success (see the Sabres), thought that he had a great eye for game planning and film review/game plan development or 2) McDermott brought in another William and Mary alum for an inconsequential role.
The optimist in me looks at the William and Mary scheme during Taylor's tenure, which did a good job of creating spacing (which Bowen's scheme didn't always do), emphasizes quick recognition by the QB and schemes up one on ones, and was terrific in the run game.
Let's face it. We have been asking for innovative thinking in Blacksburg for a long time. To quote Moneyball, "if we try to compete with the Yankees in here, we will get killed by the Yankees out there." There is always risk with a new hire, but, after watching WVU, I think this hire has more upside and way less risk than an overpay for Neal Brown or someone similar.
Also, I want to apologize to everyone. I work in Public Policy and GR, and the changing federal landscape has rendered me chained to a desk for all non-sleeping/eating hours of the day. Film review on new defensive stuff is coming, but it is slow in progress.
Ladies struggling to make anything inside. Also taking some Ill advised shots.
