Enjoy a delicious and surprisingly low-calorie digital meat stick. Welcome to TKP.
Ok, I laughed.
I love the photo bomb by Dadi-that dude is omnipresent.
Yes on the pass rush! It felt like they didn't get pressure until halfway through the 4th quarter. Duke's downfield blocking consistently opened up lanes and gave their playmakers an extra 5 or 10 yards. At the end of the day, however, that defensive performance should have been plenty for a W.
Well said. I'm not a fan of Journell, but I was a much bigger idiot when I was his age (and I could probably make an argument for certain days as I approached my 30s but I digress), but you don't boo a player on your team. Hell, I didn't even boo the UNC kid for throwing a punch. At the end of the day, these are kids playing a high octane game where emotions can run high. I can criticize a performance just like anyone else and that's the price you pay for playing for a high profile team, get your skin thick, kid. When it comes down to it, no matter how accurate our criticism may be, Logan has more touchdowns than me, Cody has more fg's than me, and I've run the risk of being arrested more than most of the kids on that team.
Yep. Business was given to us on that one. We got Cherry'd for sure.
FWIW, Malzahn went 8-5 in his first season as an OC at Auburn. That includes losses to unranked UK, UGA and U of Ark. Only one of those wins was over a top 25 team: #25 ole miss.
He'd be like a history teacher with a lumpy butt asking for the capitol of North Carolina. Causing kids to piss their pants and they'd still be wearing their pee pants.
Byrn was open a bit shallower on 3rd and 11, but that is still a long throw. That was one of those plays where you like to see a deeper route in case the defense is in an umbrella zone.
I would enjoy sitting down and talking football with any of the coaches, but I will have to defer to Joe on what would be needed to make that happen.
Do you think F.Beamer is 100% hands off when it comes to offensive play calling or do you think he has some influence in certain situations? Could that possibly explain some of the questionable calls? (I'm kind of grasping at straws here)
I think Coleman was back there to return kicks as well Saturday.
I would love for you to get a chance to sit down and talk to Loeffler one on one at some point. It would be really interesting to know what comes out of a conversation like that. Is that something we can make happen? Maybe in the off season?

Jarrett's undersized for safety in the NFL and doesn't have the cover skills to play corner (I don't think). You think he'll get drafted and what position would he play in the league?
What's your favorite fish? I used to be a tilapia all day guy, but I became a mahi-mahi fan when I had the fish tacos at Cabo Fish Taco.

and competent is better than what we had....I will admit that I still see some questionable calls from time to time. But based on the film reviews I've read on here, we're trending in the right direction and the play calling makes sense for the most part. I'm not going to let myself get concerned with the coaching until Loeffler has a chance to coach his own types of players for a couple of years. If we're still near the 100's offensively in 2016 then I think we'd be justified in our concerns
I think Chase Williams will be a solid replacement for Jack Tyler. Clarke could be really good at backer (and I guess DVD could as well if needed to move), but I am worried about depth as well. I really liked Andrew Motuapuka on film as a textbook Bud Foster mike linebacker. Hopefully he can get some of these recruits to sign on to give them some depth at backer.
How many of our current offensive players would have started during one of our 10 win seasons?
- Logan Thomas
- Andrew Miller
- AJ Hughes
And your complaining about Loeffler? Come on now.
BECAUSE BUD FOSTER
There are things I like, and things I don't like. With these players, I am not sure Gus or Chad are doing much better. For those comparing Loeffler to the success of Auburn this year, remember Loeffler's backs were running for 5-6 yards a pop last season, mostly running the inside zone and stretch. I can't fathom why he has abandoned it.
There are four teams I don't want to lose to ever:
1) LOL
2) The Cousins
...
4) Whoever we're playing next.
