Shedeur does not have good ball skills. His fakes are weak, he cannot sell it, he does not carry them out long enough.
It wasn't. That's why it's weird. He has to know that they get it at the 35
McChesney actually said the same thing about not carrying out his fakes.
I disagree. I am not sure we are watching the same player.
They don’t and didn’t though. He was right on that
That's now how it worked. They kicked off from the 50
It's funny that his ball handling was what he got complimented on tonight lol.
46 points in a half. The defense was on the field. That historically pathetic performance was by the defense. 43 pts should easily win against Stanford. The defense is straight trash and the DC is in over his head. He has consistently shown he is incapable of making changes on the fly. The defense is at least as bad as last year, if not worse. Fortunately, the offense is exceptional and puts up big numbers. The defense is 🗑
They kicked from 15 yards shorter because of a penalty. So they had a chance to do a little squib toward the sideline and maybe get a good bounce. Going out of bounds gave it to them at the 20.
Would love to put a compilation together of my thoughts but to pissed and angry and disgusted. Will send you something another day to discuss it
Why would they get it at the 20? The penalty was enforced when they kicked from the 50
Our issue is personnel. What do you want to do? We can simplify the scheme. Maybe that's the solution. That's what Arizona State had to do. When you got so many new players, it's hard to do a lot especially if they just lack the size.
Cmon - tonight wasn't personnel. It was **** coaching
The penalty is only fully enforced once the offense is on the field. With ST, it's still 15 yards. Even if the ball goes out of bounds. Even a touch back is - 15 yards.
Thanks, didn't know that.
Isn't it 30 yards from the spot of the kickoff?
My guy. It’s been explained ad naseum. The penalty for kicking the ball out of bounds is that the receiving team gets it 30 yards from the kickoff spot. So normally, when a team kicks off from their own 35, the receiving team gets it at their 35. In this case, the kick was from the 50 so the penalty gave Stanford the ball on their own 20, same as a touchback would have
**** if I know. Whatever, I'm so ****ing tired I'm stupider than usual.
Don't three of those guys still have eligibility after this year?
You aren't stupid. You just didn't know my brother
I didn't see that explained and I didn't know that. Thanks for the explanation. I'm going to run into the woods and dig a hole now.
Our D has some strengths (they are nowhere near bad like last year's was bad), but one of those strengths is creating turnovers. I don't think our D got any turnovers tonight (am I mistaken? I don't THINK they did) and that was a killer (especially at the end of the game where a turnover would have ended the game basically). I don't want say we have a classic "bend but don't break" defense, because it breaks quite a bit. But the turnovers make up for a lot of yards given up. The yardage surrendering is particularly glaring though when you don't get the turnovers to offset some of it.
After watching a 1-4 Stanford team just pull off what they did against us (on the road no less), why would you assume we couldn't do the same with enough teams on the rest of our schedule to go bowling? Seems very defeatist.
