Who am I pretending to be? Why would you think I am not a Card fan? Card fans want the best for the programs. When I see a substandard product on the field and a coach that is ripping us off for the millions he is being paid I am not going to protect him. You shouldn't either.
Dude, I didn't say every single player was physically deficient. But it is so obvious that we have players on the field who lack muscularity and who are way out of shape. As a result we regularly get beaten on plays because we can't block and can't make tackles that require a little physical...
The problem with that is our O-line is almost never able to pick up short yards on an interior running play. If your O-line can't outmuscle Indiana State and Western consistently you have a big problem. It doesn't matter what plays you call when you are poorly prepared, weak, and can't...
Nope. Wasn't play calling nearly as much as having a weak out of shape team that can't even make a yard per carry against a mediocre team. ANY play should work with 4 chances to score from the 2 yard line. Based on everything you saw Saturday, do you think a pass play or option would have...
A decent offensive line would have run it right down their throat. Another bonehead move during that series was bringing Pass in and losing the option of rolling out Cunningham who could have run it in himself. Total sh*t show in every way imaginable.
OL was excellent under Petrino 1.0 but the biggest difference there was the center position and having Eric Wood. Petrino 2.0 is in his 5th season and still hasn't recruited a top notch center. Being a good OLman involves building strength and foot work. A bad attitude helps. Our OL has...
When you can't move the ball forward when you are first and goal on the two yard line against Virginia and you can't even get a push against Indiana State and Western, it sort of proves my point about lack of conditioning and strength.
And one more thing, if these players can take a little criticism from me about their conditioning, they shouldn't be playing college football. They should be hiding in their safe space with a therapy dog.
