We actually have top half of the Big ten talent on offense

[Dowling's Revenge]

You can't say we don't have a weapons. I think if longergan can avoid crushing turnovers that we will win a couple games moving forward

 

[tico brown]

They always had weapons here and there.

The coaching and recruiting on the other hand…

Bingo.

We have 2 players who are top half of the Big 10. It takes 11.

One indisputable fact that should not be dismissed is that we lead the conference, if not the country, in coaching staff depth.

…And turnovers going into last night.

Yes we have 1 NFL receiver and 1 NFL running back. In order to succeed at Rutgers, you need 2 NFL receivers, 1 NFL quarterback, 2 NFL running backs, and all 11 NFL players on defense. And that doesn’t even get you the Orange bowl. How about the Texas Bowl?

I think there were 4 NFL Olinemen on that team too, no?

Ya he sure does squander talent doesn’t he

Alas There are the neurodivergent coaches and offenses. I was thinking how goofy RU is reading about RU's punt non-returns.

RUs "Risk Mitigation" fixation

We do seem to be playing better but I believe we still don't have a four-star OL on the roster. You need push and protection. Couldn't get a foot when needed. Should have cut support staff by millions and used the money to buy some OL's to shore up the line.

 

[yesrutgers01]

We have a first round WR on this team and a late round RB...Our OL has not been good at all. And unless that changes, we will not be winning games. On defense- forget about it...we really have nothing

Our best teams always had great RB's, WR's- capable TE's and between 2-5 NFL OL. And we would have 2-4 NFL defenders and another handful of defenders that were great college players but just didn't have NFL size.

And that is just the talent on the field. I never saw Greg as a great gameday coach. But if he had time to prepare for a game, he was good.

GS 2.0 - doesn't seem to even be able to prepare. He had a guy that worked for him prepare his team on what he knew about Rutgers - Greg did not prepare us for what he knew about that coach's tendencies.

I just can't see us winning more than 3 games this year and would not be surprised if even Maryland runs up and down the field with us.

 

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

The fact that we don't have top half of B1G offensive coaching talent calling the plays and teaching QBs is the problem. On the bright side, we are in the upper echelon when it comes to talking about violence.

Can’t happen. Greg needs his insanely bloated Football Staff of 120.

Getting highly rated WRs and RBs at RU have never been a problem. Some skill positions rely a lot of native ability (RBs know how to run). OL is hard because you have to find big people who are nimble and strong. A lot of big OL in HS are clodhoppers. Good technique helps massively on OL/DL but a lot of HS coaches cant teach it. Aaron Donald is small for his position but he's a magician at technique. I've long thought RU ball should make a decision to be OL centric. Get the best coaches and pay them. Get the best recruits and treat them like stars with special housing and gourmet chefs. Get (legit) martial arts teachers and sumo wrestlers to cultivate them on explosive nuance and mindset. Lifting weights and wrestling don't do enough. A good Shaolin martial arts practitioner can put a "big fatty" on his butt with a 6" pop to chest
