Wow what a surprise, a must win game and we lay an egg against an inferior team.
This team plays with no heart. None. And it starts at the top. You get all this bull**** talk in the papers last week from our players saying that they played a bad game, and that they would see BC in the ACC Champ game. These same players came out not focused as was evident by the number of penalties and mental mistakes that were made all game long.
Go get me all the practice report guys on the Hive that think they know how to evaluate our players. "We have the deepest, most experienced line we've EVER had since I can remember". "AJ Smith is a monster, he will be a great one." "Andrew Gardner will be playing on Sundays". "This is the first time in the Chan Gailey era that we have a cohesive unit". "Chan prefers more mobile lineman over size".
BLAH BLAH BLAH... Our Offensive Line sucks. Once again, our coaches are realizing their problems with the line later than the rest of us. Anyone noticed the complete merry go round of players playing on the line today while Gailey and Dallesandires tried to figure out who was better than who? Guess what coaches, you should know this by now. But let me give you a hint. #61 and #60 are not your strongest options. Don't know how many times I have to say it. Your starting right tackle is a serious problem too, but thanks for benching him and at least recognizing that he was a problem.
Taylor Bennett, I'm not off his bandwagon yet as I think he get very little help in the play calling department and with WR who have the dropsies. I see a guy who seems like he has all the tools to be a solid QB. He's not great, but he doesn't kill us. The INT was just bad luck. He needs to work on his 3rd down efficiency and understand better how plays develop on 3rd down. One thing I thought he did VERY well was move around in the pocket (and you cannot teach that). If the line was more consistent, I think Taylor would be more consistent. Several times I saw Taylor looking to throw, but then having to move in the pocket to avoid the pressure, and then having to find the play downfield again.
What the HELL is wrong with our defense? It seems like Tenuta cured it after the first quarter but still.
Here is MY biggest problem with this team. Their attitude. After the BC game you would have thought you would see a little more urgency from them. Nope. We came into this game completely unprepared and lacking focus. Penalties and Costly Mistakes was the theme this week. These guys play like they are waiting on their teammate to win the game instead of themselves going out and making a difference. Everyone's standing around waiting on the other person to produce. There is definitely a lack of mental toughness and preparation by this team, and we've now seen it in two straight games.
Gailey is a players coach. They love him. He's a family guy who supports his players. That's great. But sometimes you have to get in their ear and let them know their scholarship doesn't automatically entitle them to have their asses wiped for them and little gold star stickers everytime they make mommy and daddy happy. Gailey caters to these pussies like they're in romper room. He allowed them to believe their own bull**** hype about how good they were.
If Gailey doesn't turn this around AND beat UGA, I hope DRAd shows this joker the door.
2-5 in the last 7 ballgames and these kids have the attitude that they are a ACC Championship caliber team? Give me a break. That starts at the top. We have a bunch of talkers who don't know how to produce. They look sexy on paper, but then as soon as its time to put on the pads, they fold like the paper men that they are. If Gailey doesn't start yelling and screaming, he's going to lose his job.
