If this guy talks about that QB Block again I'm turning off the TV.

HE DIDN'T BLOCK ANYBODY

He just slightly moved in front of someone and slapped hands.

Our receivers look like they are 5’7”. A long way from the big receivers Greg used to recruit.

Dont know if its a new rule from the NFL but it shouldve been a moot point since it was a run play.
no.. formation rules are called at the snap as pre-snap penalties.. what you do run/pass does not matter.

You need 7 men on the LOS. The 2 outer-most on the LOS are "eligible" .. I think there is a rule about reporting in as eligible if you wear and ineligible number.

If we had 4 men in the backfield and 2 split receivers on same side.. inside one might have been Washington TE... the inside WR would have been ineligible which makes the tackle on the other side eligible. Perhaps failing to report in as eligible would have been a penalty.. of course maybe he did.

I think the call was based on seeing 2 split wide to same side.. and the assumption that one had to be behind the other. Which makes seeing 4 others in the backfield an easy call.

Were just a bad team, is the coaching that bad or are these players completely clueless? I cant tell

Art’s a bit jumpy. McNulty needs to settle him down with a couple dinks and dunks. Then go downfield.

Remember the days when the announcers would marvel at the size of our receivers? Not anymore. Our WRs look like they are from the Land of Oz.

Not the only reason we’re losing but of course Illinois gets their QB back just in time for our game. If you are injured forget the doctor the best medicine is having to play Rutgers in the next game

It's a shame when they go for the small ball, it's a swing pass to a target Art stares down the entire way and is either thrown on a laser or with way too much loft. He still hasn't learned proper touch yet.

The announcers are talking like SIT is just throwing behind the receivers today. It's been that way all along.

I legitimately can't imagine what November is going to look like.

I think our average loss will be 60-3 and I'm not even trying to be funny. We somehow look worse at home against Illinois and the like than at OSU?

I mean OSU obviously didn't take us seriously but geez.

Not for nothing but the worse thing about being this bad is that we get the Z team from BTN from announcers to camera crew. Could they zoom out any further or is the helicopter can not available. Geez

That’s all you need to do, not sure why you don’t realize that. Not everything needs to be a pancake block to be effective.

But the way the announcer is making it seem is that he pulled off a masterful crackback block.

It doesn't take skill or talent to just run as a buffer in front of somebody.

That was a catch and a fumble by the rules so I’d say we caught a break. Great stop, now we have to capitalize
