When the game appeared to be ending on the measuring of the chains, I said to myself, "This is as anti-climactic as an end to a football game can be." I was proven wrong when the went on to review the spot -- thereby doubling down on the most anti-climactic ending to the most boring game all season.chinapaulohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11304822991006844745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-84623149762998746272009-11-16T09:37:50.432-05:002009-11-16T09:37:50.432-05:00The crowd wasn't that lifeless...even a half e...The crowd wasn't that lifeless...even a half empty Scott Stadium had more energy than a full Alumni. And it was nice not getting harassed by State Police for tailgating.<br /><br />Agree on the comments on Shinskie. He needs to learn that it's ok to throw the ball away instead of forcing it into double and triple coverage. These are basic freshman mistakes that should have been overcome by now.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13757393760708306110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-27422558611479520072009-11-16T09:21:49.288-05:002009-11-16T09:21:49.288-05:00Eddierock - you're right and ATL has pointed i...Eddierock - you're right and ATL has pointed it out. Even the announcers did a little this week. Shinskie locks on a single WR, and too often misses the checking to the open RB out of the backfield.<br /><br />They just gotta keep practicing and hope this skill develops more. I'm sure there's a ton to process in your head within 3 seconds, and it can't be easy.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852682232912278307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-63315063685202405712009-11-16T09:19:21.499-05:002009-11-16T09:19:21.499-05:00I am on board saying Tranquil is a MAJOR upgrade o...I am on board saying Tranquil is a MAJOR upgrade over Logan. Logan drove me crazy be refusing to run the ball or adjust his play calling based on what the defense gave him. And to run every play as a "shotgun-QB reads the defensive end-maybe hand off every once in a while" was ineffective and boring as hell. The only time Logan put on a clinic was against NCSU last year, nearly every other game was won by our defense.<br /><br />No O.C. is gonna run plays that fans like 100% of the time, but more often then not our 2009 failures are our players not executing instead of a bad play call (drops, errant throws, missed blocks, fumbles on the 1 yd line at ND)<br /><br />Logan talked about surprising defenses with home run balls, but it seems to me like Tranq does this more often and Logan was all talk. That's my opinion, Logan drove me crazy.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852682232912278307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-48689054851954362382009-11-16T08:05:45.729-05:002009-11-16T08:05:45.729-05:00I was at the game Saturday.

When you watch the game live from the stands, with a broader view of the field, you relize how badly Shinskie: A) locks onto a single receiver b) when pressed throws very ill advised passes. He was picked twice, easily could have been 3 or 4 times. Horrible decisionmaking when hurried. he doesn't seem to be learning...Eddierockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629531306290371271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-86169461476965250282009-11-16T07:20:22.468-05:002009-11-16T07:20:22.468-05:00Vote for Kuechly:

I know it's not always necessary from a head coach, but it was still nice to see. <br /><br />I see that our game is at noon on espn2... let's hope that when Clemson takes the field at 330, they have to win to advance. <br /><br />No Hakeem Nicks this year, thank God.matthew2https://www.blogger.com/profile/13672449714617109618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-46952540920645809632009-11-16T00:36:03.015-05:002009-11-16T00:36:03.015-05:00Bill, I disagree on Tranquil's play calling. ...Bill, I disagree on Tranquil's play calling. Shinskie always seems like he needs to build his confidence and gradually play up to those deep routes. However, since he locks onto Gunnel and Larmond, why not start the game off with Gunnel and Larmond running shorter routes (outs, slants, stops, etc.) Once Shinskie starts getting a little antsy (and starts sailing all of his passes) we need to return to those short confidence building routes.<br /><br />Similarly, early in the 2nd half, when Shinksie was showing his typical road nerves we abandoned Harris. Tranquil needs to seize the reins on his young QB's runaway nerves and find ways for him to find his feet again. Short, confidence building routes, and a RB that you can lean on are the best ways to do that. Why leave a freshman out in the wind to twist?Danny Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00307800426123780860noreply@blogger.com
