We are always a missed something away. That’s what’s frustrating. A block here, an assignment there…,
Is what it looked like to me as well. It's why I don't think there's much chance of getting a score running it 4 times in the red zone where the defense can bunch up like people have been calling for.I don’t think I we got much push at all today. In fact we were manhandled quite a bit in my opinion.
Had we been getting that block that we need consistently tonight?
To me that's why you give Jordan, Gibbs, or mason the shot at making a play rather than deveneyIn my opinion……no……I still see our OL play as lacking. Hopefully they get better each week.

It was there. We just flat out missed the block.Mullen called a shovel pass at the end of their game with Bama, also.
I would have liked to see maybe Dontae in space on one of the 2 plays before that, or Yates rolling out but I guess he kinda did that on 1st down. But I can't complain too much. It was different, inventive.

I’m not sure a 4th and goal shovel pass to the TE works for most most teams. I wasn’t big on the play call myself, seems like a high risk play for that situation but I understand why he may have gone with it given the man coverage in the end zone on earlier attempts. I would have pitched it to Smith or Mason over a TE myself
Gibbs. Gibbs. Gibbs. Gibbs. Gibbs.
The reason PNode went with that playcall is that it negates Clemson's speed & pursuit advantage, and their pass rushing advantage
In order to get the ball to one of our "better" playmakers, we would have to hold pass blocking vs their DL Speed or make great 1on 1 blocks on the edge to spring them
With that Playcall PNode had a 6-6 320lbs OL with a clean shot at a smaller LB , Ryan Johnson could've leaned on the LB or fell on the LB and sealed him from making that Tackle
All those playcalls you are dreaming about to get the ball to Guys they were keying on anyway would have required us to out Athlete more of their players vs this quick hitting Andy Reid play
We have to learn to get all 11 guys to do their Job
Gibbs is much better in the open field, but if we’re running between the tackles in my mind we’d be better off with Mason or Smith. I’d kill for us to get two RBs on the field at the same time.And a little more Gibbs please
I had no problem with the 4th n goal play call. As has been alluded to, if 70 just gets in front of the LB it’s a TD.
The play call I didn’t like was on 2nd down - the pitch/pass to McGowan. Then is when Mason or Gibbs should have gotten the ball.
