How do we get em? (X / O )

Who's hurt and Who's getting healthy?

Can Offense be more creative?

Can TB hit our recievers in the #'s?

? is can our WR's catch what hits them in their hands? They might not be perfectly thrown balls but if it hits you in the hands, then catch it!

What's their collective problem? I think I know now why Smith couldn't find the field, but Thomas, JJ, and Peek are inconsistent also. It's not like TB throws darts either. Donley and Earls are looking much better than the experienced players. It doesn't matter how well you know the playbook and what kind of routes you run if you can't catch the ball.

If we keep playing like we have been on all fronts, it will all come down to how many major screwups we have. We can beat anyone if errors are minimized, but we have essentially zero ability to overcome major screwups. (like holds to put us out of FG range, or fumbling punts)
 
After watching the replay of the UM game, (I agree with RM) the receivers are our achilles heel. If it does not hit them in the numbers they refuse to catch it. It is almost as if they are afraid to get hit. I know they are young, but I bet they dropped 10 catchable balls during the last game. We could have easily had another 100 yds. passing. The camera would zoom in on TB after the pass and you could tell he was p*ss*d off!
 
WR's and OL

If the coaches can somehow get in these guys heads, and I means really quick, like this week, we can have a great game and a fantastic run to the end. Dropped passes and the OL holding are killing our production right now. Solve those 2 dilemmas, keep our D rested and off the field, we can be scary good. Every game seems to be the tale of 2 different teams. confusing to say the least... but that seems to be CCG's calling card.
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Our receivers need to put in lots of overtime practice. They need coaching on the fundamentals...looking the ball into their hands and forgetting everything else until they have full possession of the ball. Then they can think about those footsteps coming toward them, where they should run or fall down, doing their touchdown dance, having their name in the paper, getting some that night, etc.
 
Esso, you can only spend 20 hours per week in practice/games. I suppose they can throw balls to each other, but the NCAA limits what you can do in season.

The NCAA does not limited how much time the receivers spend catching ball with their QB after hours. (as long as coaches are not present and its not required practice. they need more of that. But the problem is "game time" catches..the fear of getting hit and the pressure of wanting to catch it so badly that they choke, can only be erased with game experience. If Chan & Bond have half a brain they will let TB throw 45-50 times vs. Army. !!!
 
I say we play Donley more. I watched the kid play in the AA state Champ. I know that was just high school football,but he has talent.

I watched him last year as well. I wish we had a couple more like this kid....I still think his future is on the other side of the ball though....An absolute Beast of a safty.. You can see it come out in him on special teams...Not your normal wideout attitude
 
Both he and Earls had some big catches. I also think it helps TB to sit a few plays. He can refocus.

I always thought that Reggie would have been better if he could have sat a few plays during the game.
 
I don't blame our recievers on a lot of those crossing routes. TB is throwing a lot of those balls high. Catching a high crossing route is tough even if you technically get your hands on it - and you typically have a head hunting safety roaming that area.

The curls and comebacks are much easier catches and we should be catching those - even if thrown a little high.
 
ive said that all year- more comebacks, down and outs/timing patterns, or maybe a quick slant when the D is playing tight on the corners. Ive also been looking for a bootleg from JN. So Chan gives me a roll-out pass play with TB that ends up covered/busted he turn into a 45 sec TD play....TWICE. Ill take IT

I do agree with you on that. But I just think we need to play him somewhere more than special teams.

mover...it looked like Dunmon and Voss really benefited a lot from playing almost the entire game....they even look to have a little bit of a mean streak. What did you think of their play? Both are sophomores.

They are the only two that seem to have that nasty streak in them, I know they have had some holding penalties but at least they will knock your d&$^ in the dirt. Hopefully the other linemen will take notice.

As far as the receivers go, I say bench them until they start catching the ball, bring in the young'uns. Competition is a great motivator.
 
I was wondering why we are bringing in so many wide receivers, but it's fairly obvious now. We need two or three star wide outs for next year alone.
