It hasn't really sank in that we lost our top two B-backs from last season, guys that were monstrous contributors, yet our offense hasn't missed a beat. I would venture to say, other than the ridiculous influx of bad pitches, our offense looks way better right now than it did at this point last season. Lose Mills and Marshall, but looky there you got Benson and Weimerskirch ready to jump in and immediately start scoring touchdowns. Then take a look at our A-backs. One of our more electric players in the CPJ era (Clinton Lynch) has SEVEN touches. Qua Searcy, another big contributor from last season, only has 14 touches. A matter of fact, by my calculations, we've only given it A-backs 22 times in three games. Those numbers do not bode well for opposing defenses, because it means were are pretty much doing whatever we want up the middle --- Which loops back around to my original point of this being the best "next man up" scenario i've seen in a long time.

I see UNC collapsing the middle and opening up Clinton Lynch all day long this weekend. Point is, the offense is rolling and that's scary for defenses knowing we have barely opened the play book. Sorry for my possibly incoherent rambling, getting to the end of my shift and the tiredness is creeping in. GO Jackets!

P.s. - I can tell the T.O. is at its best when the play is over in 4 seconds and there is a pile of players five yards past the line of scrimmage.
 
How many fumbles have we had from the BB position through 3 weeks? Passing was great against Tennessee, but taquan hasn't been as accurate since. Sometimes not pitching it is a product of how the defense is playing, sometimes it's missed reads.
 
I expect UNC will do the Jax St pre snap DL line shift. Pitt tried it in the second half a bit and failed miserably

Hopefully his accuracy improves. He had a WR open against Pitt and threw it way out of bounds, almost into the east stands. Didn't look like he was trying to throw it away.
As for Tennessee, on our last regulation drive, he overthrew a wide open player that would have been a TD

Jesus F christ JF77 I have an easy highschool education and have been out of school for 6 years. I could literally give a flying öööö about your goddman prepositions, contractions, misspellings, and punctuations at this point in my life. Not even sure where I made a mistake in that last post, but I can guarantee you it was unintentional. And also I don't care, so save your grammar nazi posts in the future

That play vs Tennessee was because of pressure and was a quick release issue more than it being an accuracy issue.

I thought his accuracy was really good against Jax St. We didn't need to throw the ball against Pitt. Could have gone the whole game without throwing it. A matter of fact, every time we did throw it I started gagging. Literally don't need to put the ball in the air.

Not to discount the athleticism of TM and KB, but a solid OL turns us into the kind of plug and play offense that we expected in 2015. I feel much better about skill possession depth, knowing that whoever we have to play at QB and BB will have lanes to run through. We just have to hope the OL stays healthy.

Punctuation is but a way for the elites to once again restrain the exchange of free ideas in order to further hold down oppress and smother and stamp out the honest working men and women of this country into a state of utter and complete impotence so that the entitled and ruthless would be leaders of this world could sit in their castles built on the backs and labor of the commoner and smugly judge and spit on them in distain but to that I say no we shall not take on your shackles and chains of punctuation as we will not be bullied into constrained or controlled or ignoble speech.
 
"Best next man up scenario I've seen in a long time" = best OL you've seen in a while. We're plugging and playing right now because the OL is wrecking opposing DLs.

In 2014 we had the best offense in modern history with Zach Laskey and Synjyn Days as our primary BBs. Think about that. Nothing against them because they balled out for us at BB, but realistically those two might not have made another ACC roster at RB (maybe Laskey at FB). And we muredered teams because the OL (aka Shaq Mason) was dominant.

CPJ had a quote postgame that went some thing like "didn't really need throw it because if we ran 3 times we were gonna get a 1st down." Also mentioned Marshall had some bad throws.
 
The G-C-G balled out this last game (and against UT), but the tackles have been spotty the last two games. Miami will definitely give them fits (the Pitt D reminded me of how Miami played us pre-Richt).

If we get all 5 going, we could have a lot more UT type performances.

In fairness we didn't really have a lot problems with the Miami defense last year. We handed them 14 off the fumbles (give them some credit for disruption), but we were moving the ball at will other than that. Think we had another long drive stall from a chop call. Remember JT5 looking frustrated in a post game interview saying "they couldn't stop us man, we kept stopping ourselves."
