Why I’m pissed!

I debated about writing this, but decided it made more sense to write a fan post.

Im pissed, and it has nothing to do with the OL. I don’t think, at this point, there is any question that our OL is trash. But that isn’t the only issue with our team.

Why can’t our WR block? I don’t give a damn how badly the OL is playing, have some damn pride and block. Shove your defender all the way down the field if you can. Instead, we have our WR standing next to the sidelines turning around and watching as their man and another defender tackle our ball carrier behind the LOS.

What is going on with our ST? I almost had the privilege of watching an onside kick returned for a TD. I’m not even sure if that has ever been done and I don’t even understand how that should even be possible. That’s ignoring the kick itself in which we simply kicked it straight to him.

What is up with the QB? This was supposedly a completion all fall and yet, nothing when our starter is obviously struggling. Is this simply WT wanting to stick with his guy? I’m not sure, but how do you not give the other guy a shot when your starter is looking as bad as DF?

Horrible clock management, both on the coach and QB. There is no excuse to not score points going into the half against Syracuse. That’s ignoring the fact we didn’t have a timeout because we had to use them for stupid reasons throughout the game.

Conditioning? It’s over 100 on the field at Jordan Hare stadium right now, but we had cramping issues in the scorching 88 degree dome.

CBs? Our guys look like boys playing against men. They look timid as well and always seem to be in the wrong position or turned around. I don’t recall seeing our shorter DBs put their hands up against these taller WRs when they turn their heads. For being a press man to man team, we seem to get beat off the line quite easily.

DEs. How many times are they going to run past the QB? They are playing with their hair on fire, but they seem to lack any control. I don’t understand how you don’t address that in practice when your expecting a running QB who would love if you took yourself or of the play.

WT... He hyped up this fan base during the offseason and we are simply trash in all phases of the game. Why can’t you just be honest and say yea we stink?

Finally, the OL sucks but this is a larger issue than just this team and this year. How the hell do we only recruit 4 OL in the last 2 years of which 3 were last year? We recruited the "#1 OL class" in ‘16 and none of those guys are even starting, some due to injuries. Still, looking back through our OL recruiting and wow. The guys we expected to be starters were from ‘15 and even then we didn’t expect great play from them. Bottom line, our OL has been an issue for a long damn time and it’s going to suck unless our coaches can figure out how to make what we have play better.

Curious to hear everyone elses thoughts. Obviously it’s after the game and I’m pissed like everyone else, but I tried to be rational with this post. I tried to make sure there weren’t to many grammatical issues, but I wrote this on my phone so apologies in advance.
