Ronnie Blackmon

[ahoelsken]

Here's a spot we should be talking about after Saturday-Ronnie showed flashes of brilliance against the goats, and he didn't get us in trouble in Lincoln. He did make a couple questionable decisions (caught a couple punts inside the 10 IIRC) Saturday.....That makes me a bit nervous heading into conference play.

 

[Bufffan68]

He is athletically gifted but he routinely makes poor decisions, which could cost us a game in league play.

 

[ZandiBuff]

Was he the one that took the punt on the 2-3, turned and ran INTO the end zone before getting it out to the 1?

Really, really bad choice.

How ****ing hard is it to say "if you catch it behind the 10 you won't return another punt"?

 

[Ringer]

He can be coached out of those poor decisions. What you can't coach is the sheer physical ability to break some long punt returns, which he has. He is a work in progress back there, but there is some good potential upside.

I like that approach. Suits just fine.

Watching the game, you can see Da Prato chewing into him as he’s coming off the field. Reading lips it looked like he’s yelling “if you want to play...” before the camera cuts away.

Let Shenault return punts.

Kind of the pot calling the kettle black.

Is this the reason the buffs will never win big and Mac sucks? Enlighten us.

It's nice that this is what we're complaining about. I'll take it.

 

[Medford M.]

Let Shenault return punts.

NO! He's already nursing a shoulder. You don't want to put one of your top guys back on punts

 

[lvbuff]

Sorry, I forgot the sarcasm font.

I believe you may have the wrong drunk.

Sort of hard.

You coach the guy to line up at the nominal distance but no further back than the 7-8 yard line.
If you are at Max depth, i.e. the 7-8 and it's over your head, you're taught to let it go.
The tricky part is if you are at the 12 and it's slightly behind you.

Blackmon has been both sure handed and aggressive. Love it!!!

He needs to learn but his errors have been those of cockiness. Saluti!

MacIntyre certainly did not pull any punches here.

Smells of an attitude issue. I don't think he's had to do much "hard" coaching this year. Looks like he missed it.
