I Tried To Defend Davidson, But I Can't Anymore

[beastson]

I used to say he limit us cause of Jake... if we had another QB we'll be fine

But nope, we had Matt on 3rd and short and can't even throw an out route to a TE. No screens or nothing. IM NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS PLAY, THE 2ND HALF IN GENERAL. Ridiculous. His play calling is just dumb. He can be gone too

[countryboi]

i was screaming for a screen.....it was so open d-will would have ran for days

I was saying this last year when everyone else seemed to think Davidson was in line for a coaching job.

Our offense's success last year resulted almost entirely from players making plays where it looked like none were to be found. That and great blocking the offensive line, Hoover, tight-ends and wide receivers.

he's an nfl offensive coordinator, he knows risk vs reward, whats the point of risking a turnover when the run game has been dominating all day along with the defense?

Risk? Oh you mean risking our defense to not give up points and keep them from getting back in the game

Our DEFENSE won this game for us, but what if things went the Cards O way?

I'm tired of this conservative crap. Our offense too talented for that. All we needed was 1 Td and we could put this game away. But noooooo

In this game, with Moore in at quarterback and a lead slowly slipping away, it might be smart to keep it on the ground.

But today, we were fortunate to go up what, 21 points early on? In any other game, we would have to complete some throws to have any shot at winning.

Our offense is very much a one-trick pony right now. We had early shots to Jarrett and Barnidge early on, and I hoped we'd see more. I know the running game is working pretty well overall, but that doesn't change the fact that there were a few wasted drives that we should have been able to capitalize on.

no risking matt moore throwing a pick when we're in our own territory.

On our first 3rd down I said to my bud "hey 20 bucks draw play up the middle" Needless to say im $20 richer, if my ass can call what the offense is going to do I know damn well that the other defenses probably can too.

as a davidson hater, i have to say you're just flat wrong. that was a great play call going for the big strike. it was moore who missed a wide open receiver!

jeff called a brilliant game! heavy running and even some passing on first down early to throw off the cardinal defense. we are so predictable with first down running. and my fav play of the game.... after the failed smoke route to smith, i was mad because we run that play too much and i told the guys i was watching the game with that we should fake that route because they jump on it and it would go for an easy touchdown!

a few plays later.......... damn i'm good!

i think it's all john fox. you look at how we all bemoaned dan henning for being so conservative and all the BS plays he ran here.

no one would look at miami and think they're a conservative offense.

good win today but AFAIC, jake still sucks and is the major reason we have to run such conservative crap...

[natty]

It was the right call given the situation. I got a little mad at first but quickly realized it was the best thing to do.

It's called being smart. There was NO need to risk it.

[beastson]

Yall must be missing my point

Im not just talking about that play... but the whole 2nd half in general. I mentioned that play to just show it dont matter who we put in, we're going conservative. Its not all Jake, but Davidson too

[natty]

We were up at least 2 scores the entire 2nd half, what do you expect? The Cards O had no signs of getting momentum. Play it safe and win the game.
