Bend Don't Break?

I hope the offensive line isn't comatose coming out in the first quarter. If the guys are mentally ready for this game, I think we will be fine. I believe Jake will come out with more focus and so will Smitty.

To me, on offense, its been the playcalling (along with the poor QB play) that has resulted in so many INTs. Davidson has not been able to find a groove passing the ball. He is not calling the right plays at the right time. The long passes to Moose are just Pathetic.

The slow, methodical offense Davidson is running is like an offensive version of Bend Don't Break.

After reading the article about Moose saying the defenses were keying into something, I think the answer is for Davidson to pick up the pace with the playcalling. If you take too long to set up, its hard for your team to be on the same page. Likewise, the defense gets that extra few seconds to anticipate. Go no huddle...go with the 2 minute offense early. We are too predictable. Mix up the timing and speed it up at uncomfortable times for the defense.

Jake needs to work fast and he becomes more decisive and more accurate. Without some pace and some urgency in the passing game, Jake can't get into a rhythm.

On D...all we need to do is what we've done the last 2 weeks. I'm a little suspicious of the Panthers anytime they play a back-up in a starting role...eeeesh...hold onto your hats! But if we get consistent pressure on the QB...I think the D can keep us in the game.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
