Rough playcalling there. Really predictable run on 1st; 2nd down playcall wasn't bad but then you just go F it and throw a fade on 3rd? Meh. That is the one problem I've had with Elko's tenure so far, playcalling shrivels up at bad times. Would've liked to see an option or a swing pass or something along those lines, looked like they were leaving space on the edge.

Duke's defense is playing as about as well as can be expected. I wonder if they'll be able to keep it up for the whole game.

Need our offense to possess the ball. Elko's forte is his defense but we just don't have the bodies to hold up against Clemson all game. Got to capitalize on their new QB and OC and rattle them early if we want to win.

    • No, both instances of references to the defense were specific to the run defense.  I should have said "run defense" the 2nd time.  You admit there has been ample personal issue but then use those stats to support your argument. I'm not arguing on the effectiveness of his specific scheme overall.  I'm saying he is only now getting the proper personal to run his scheme.  The stats are the stats and while I don't disagree with any of what you're saying, 3 years of those stats are based on the Panthers front office not giving him the tools to run a competitive NFL defense until this year with D. Brown getting healthy and the additional of Tre'von Moehrig. I want to see his defense when we don't have multiple key starter positions manned with players who would IMHO are not starting level players.  With some talent  I say all this while not being a big fan of his scheme.  I would prefer a 4-3 but that's neither here or there. And yes, I would call getting requests and interviews from other teams who want to hire him good evidence that he may be a pretty good DC and has a lot of potential as a HC. In 2022 he had HC requests from the Broncos, Colts, and Texans.  He also had requests for DC from the Vikings, Falcons and the Panthers.  We hired him to be our DC. In 2023 it was the Falcons, Raiders and Seahawks for a HC position. In 2024 the Falcons, Seahawks and the Panthers interviewd him for HC.  We blocked the Jags from a DC interview. In 2025 (which is this years hiring cycle) so far its the Falcons, Raiders and just today the Steelers, all for the HC position.  
    • The Giants still may be crap but they just improved somewhat by hiring Harbaugh,
