I think I overestimated what overhauling the roster could do by going through the portal. I thought they could just jump in and win and compete. The last few weeks just shows that we’ve got a long way to go to recruit the best players.
I disagree with that about him bringing it on himself. He’s just got a lot of heart and he’s got a lot of passion he brings to the game.
K. I see it differently.
Man, this is a lot harder playing OL for 2 than Stout or any of the QBs we had recently. No one did anything advanced defensively against CU and still dominated them. It's was a lot easier. Teams are throwing the kitchen sink at CU this year. The ask is far greater for the OL right now. I even heard one of the coaches in the fall camp talk about it.
He's elite and that's the biggest reason I want to hit him or any elite guy like Maye, Penix, McCarthy, Williams, or Nix at this level.
Its both. Given what Prime said about the 2022 roster (he was right), its a recruiting issue. This is a team he and this staff effectively hand picked.
They are improving ten fold compared to the beginning the season. We knew that they had talent, they are just young and none are game changers.
All that. But the thing is, he knows the cameras are on him, and he keeps doing the watch thing or going on talk shows talking **** about another coach - yeah yeah yeah boomer this, boomer that, I’m old, kids, defending his dad - **** that ****. He’s a lightning rod and he keeps fostering it. We had 3.5 good games, and have proven nothing. The other option could have been - not keep doing the watch ****, not getting in Rhule’s / Norvell’s face, said “no comment” on the radio show. That’s just my opinion based off of working with a myriad of people who are really good at their jobs that constantly put a target on their backs by their behavior.
That's his personality. You either like it or you don't. I like it. You might not. That's fine.
He's not complaining. Check his press conferences.
He was a stiff in HS who got every offer because of who his dad was/is. He needs to STFU and move on now. Some D2 school might be in need of a TE3.
Caleb Williams paints derogatory comments about the opposing team on his nails, Shadeur shows off his watch when brokies trash talk him.
I simply don’t understand your argument. What I see is a qb who gets the snap and takes a 3-5 step drop straight back. From a blocking perspective it simply doesn’t matter who is back there, you can’t let the D consistently beat you to that spot. A worse qb might need more time to throw or be less mobile but that’s kind of irrelevant when they get through this fast.
McChesney nails it here. This is 100% on the coaches. These guys are serviceable but when you have no idea what your assignment is and/or can’t recognize the front you have in front of you, you have no chance at executing. That’s coaching. End of story.
That’s my point though. SS and even at times, Lewis, are covering for a lot of warts on the OL, which means the OL is just that terrible
Not mutually exclusive. However, one has won a Heisman.
As long as we flex like we won those games though we should be good.
We are in shotgun. To protect the poor OL, we do 5 step drops. Teams generally don't do drops in shotgun. Watch OU with Mayfield or Caleb at SC. But Mayfield in particular at OU rarely dropped. Some do like Hawaii because they know they don't have the pass blocking to operate on a functional level. We are not a functional pass blocking OL and we can't run block at all. We have to do 5 step drops.
I feel like we can have the same conversation about the last several years of Bronco football that we can about CU. Both have had ****ty o-line play for a while. The 2016 OL at CU was good, but its been below average (at best) in Boulder. We're going on 10 years of bad OL play with the Broncos.
Usually does. Not last night.
I am having problems with this post. Explain it for me in more detail. You are saying we hand picked these guys? You do realize we whiffed on every OL but Savion and Tyler Brown in the portal during recruiting. Remember Cameron Johnson. Remember Coker. We offered everyone and landed no one. Jatta and Wilty came from JUCO. Bailey was an after spring game addition and CU was BASHED for signing him and Young. Especially Young.
All of them playing for pride or for a spot to stick on the roster. They are on scholarship.
hope so. that was so bad.
