Skattebo is struggling as much vs Texas as Jeanty was struggling against PSU last night. Yikes.

 

I don't think it's an incitement on their talent at RB. I think it just doesn't matter how good of a RB you are if your offensive line is alot less talented than the dline they are going against.

We've gotta quit thumping this narrative as factual given who did or didnt suit up. Thats the reality of non CFP bowl season. Portal,Coaches gone, players not playing or quitting mid game. 

It's just not realistic. If you cheer for a conference knock yourself out. But what a team did week 1-12 has maybe even less than zero to do with a bowl game. 

The "factual" thing is those teams lost those games. The emotional thing is the "players didn’t play, transfer portal, etc."

That has nothing to do with what actually happened.

Remember the FSU "We WeRe ThE rEaL nAtIoNaL cHaMpS!!" horseshit? How did that end up working out for them?

If you spend your time crying and making excuses, what message does that team get from you as a coach?

That's right, I forgot you guys actually made it and got beat pretty soundly by Texas.

I mean, Clemson O lit Texas D up with a WR forced to play RB.  Did things to the vaunted Texas D no one else has come close to. 

7 point game in the 4th at one point.  

I mean if that is soundly beating the 12 seed….we view football games different.  Clemson in theory SHOULD have been the team to get beat the worst given the seeding.  

still can’t believe we got folks upset about teams that didn’t make it in over the ACC champ lol.  Clemson is the last place to go looking for why someone else should of got in

I am sure you feel that way.

I legit felt bad for FSU last year. Sucks their QB got hurt and honestly they did earn the right to be in the playoffs but unfortunately given the old format I think the selection committee did the right thing because everyone knew they weren't one of the four best teams without Travis. That's the type of stuff that the 12 team field fixes.

But yeah, you wonder how much the whine fest and woe is woe is me bullshit they did from last year factored into the suck fest that happened this year.

Arizona State is the biggest paper tiger in the playoff. I looked at who they played and the scores, and knew Texas was going to absolutely DOG DICK them. It’s going to end 45-10. They don’t have a chance.

I mean what they uniquely did to the vaunted Texas D is just a fact.  Not a feeling. 

it’s also a fact they were the ACC champs and had nothing to do with who did and didn’t get an at large entry.  It’s also a fact no one can be upset about them getting overseeded.  So, it’s again, just the wrong team to be upset about.

I didn’t feel bad at all for them. They had no business being near the playoffs at all.

I very much am enjoying their fall and hope it continues for years.

I don't let my hatred of programs bleed into enjoying watching kids get screwed over because of a devastating late season injury to their key player. I feel bad for the kids. fug the program.

Leavitt is shook. The guy isn't even trying to survey the field before going into panic run around like a chicken with his head cut off mode and Texas knows it and they're baiting him into it over and over and then simply tackling him with better athletes.

It wasn't getting screwed over even remotely. They had no business being anywhere near the playoffs last year with or without Travis. The ACC was historically bad. They genuinely didn't deserve it.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X.

      OK, now it's time to discuss a couple of yesterday's problems. Let's talk "Evero."

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
