Mertz missed a few reads and, while he had some longer throws, he failed to hit the receivers in stride.Absolutely brutal review of the offense.
Really good Big Uglies (playing as a unit) make everything look better.Mertz’ accuracy is serviceable. Seems more accurate when rolling out and driving the ball. Need some quicker plays when an overloaded blitz appears to be coming.
We dodged a bunch of bullets on D, but pressure seems to do that.
Do big uglies make things pretty?
They whiffed on a couple of the screens. Better teams will hit those for big gains. But they played well overall and are miles ahead of where they were last year.Really good Big Uglies (playing as a unit) make everything look better.
I didn't like the defensive calls in the game. Too aggressive and a bit out of control with a running QB. I would have been happier with a few less sacks and better containment. The stats dint show it, but they looked out of control on many of the plays. Maybe it's just PTGD on my part (post traumatic Grantham disorder)
That's kind of what I thought too.I think the players like playing overly aggressive on D and he might’ve just been letting them loose against a lesser opponent unless it started to affect the outcome
If his play calls and time mgmt remains the same, once all the players are in place, then we can expect 9-10 wins a season. A cheap version of Mark Richt.Didn't look too bad in the first. Throwing 20 yards downfield. And then we went with clunky play calling in the second. Napier calls a good game about 75% of the time.
I didn't get this from the game or their review that much. At some point, 5 guys can't block 7-9 who are committed to stopping the run.OLine just absolutely reaked.
I don't think an oc necessarily fixes everything. But I agree one is neededMertz missed a few reads and, while he had some longer throws, he failed to hit the receivers in stride.
OLine just absolutely reaked.
Several times Charlotte ran a zero cover man and, instead of passing the ball, we ran right into the teeth of the stacked box.
Like he said..."Charlotte giving zero respect to the passing game as a threat".
BN needs to get a real OC during the off season.
He's doing a great job as GM behind the scenes but he doesn't have "it" for game day. (unless this is the longest con/sandbag ever leading up to the Leghumper game )
It will give us someone to bitch about other than Billy.I don't think an oc necessarily fixes everything. But I agree one is needed
You'll take the improved defense and be happy.Really poor play calling coupled with bad execution.
We could be soooooo much better with a real OC and ST Coach.
Fixed it for you.Didn't look too bad in the first. Throwing 20 yards downfield. And then we went with clunky play calling in the second. Napier calls a good game about 7.5% of the time.
You mistyped 25%Didn't look too bad in the first. Throwing 20 yards downfield. And then we went with clunky play calling in the second. Napier calls a good game about 75% of the time.
It would make sense if we had an OL like the great wall of 84/85, and Neal Anderson, Lorenzo Hampton and Jihn L. Williams as RBs.What I don't get is running into 7-10 men boxes.
It's....Sisyphean.
