If we can establish and maintain a strong ground game, we take pressure off the rookie QB, see more third-and-twos than third-and-sevens, and keep the ball for longer. If the O-line struggles, everything else feels the strain. Personally, I hated the zone blocking in front of delayed handoffs to a flat-footed RB last year. I'm hoping we're done with that.mod10aeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009617224575563986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-26804301089186999522009-06-03T21:43:16.962-04:002009-06-03T21:43:16.962-04:00CT has some good points, as usual.

The win at Wake Forest was absolutely willed by the rest of the team. I guess Davis was pretty good in the Maryland game - but we had no chance in the ACCCG and the performance in Nashville was pretty embarrassing.<br /><br />We have some top notch players if our QBs can get them the ball.<br /><br />I'm interested to see how we stack up on defense at LB especially. If we take a step backwards, it will be due to the time it takes the other players to step up at LB.<br /><br />eagleboston provided an overview back in mid-May. Perhaps we will have to be very aggressive and take chances on defense - more so than ever in the Spaz era.Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-83046810121734321162009-06-03T17:55:04.964-04:002009-06-03T17:55:04.964-04:00I don't necessarily believe that this will be ...I don't necessarily believe that this will be the beginning of a "dark" period, but come on. <br /><br />Four or five of our best defensive players are gone (Raji, Brace, Herzy, McLaughlin, Francois).<br /><br />We were all told, and many believed, that all we needed last year was a "game manager" at QB. Losing Crane and Davis aren't big losses, but playing with inexperience at this position is almost always a re-introduction to the finer points of frustration (as last year taught us). <br /><br />Having good RBs is great. But they can only do so much with 9 guys in the box. Having a good OLine is great. But they can only do so much when it's always 3rd and 7. <br /><br />Who knows? Maybe I'll be surprised. But watching enough football has taught me that, without an elite recruiting class, we'll almost certainly take a step back before we threaten anyone at the top again. <br /><br />And let's not put all our eggs in the Boisture basket. Nobody knows if his skills will translate. You expect him to step in his first year and contribute? Doubtful. <br /><br />Adversity usually affects those who don't have top athletes the most. Better football programs can compensate by plugging in another 4or 5-star with speed.<br /><br />I'm not being down for the sake of being down. I just don't think the next couple of years will satisfy those growing accustomed to ACCCG appearances. I hope I'm wrong.CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783098791522341665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-57081862340428925902009-06-03T15:34:30.945-04:002009-06-03T15:34:30.945-04:00can you do a write up on how we would look as an o...can you do a write up on how we would look as an option/wildcat team. using Boek as the option qb and with ninja, haden, and smith cycling as RBs i think this would work well until the coming of the Boisture era(which cant come soon enough.)BCguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377602932041054600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-12912030152185380662009-06-03T15:30:43.673-04:002009-06-03T15:30:43.673-04:00Without looking over the schedule again, I say we ...Without looking over the schedule again, I say we go 7-5 or 6-6 this season. That's a relatively bad year by our standards this decade, but it also tells you how great a run we've had.<br /><br />Moreover, I agree that this is not the start of some dark period for BC football. We may take a small hit this year, but we've got the makings of a quality recruiting class already forming and I am quite confident we'll be in great shape in the long term.downtown_residenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310171123874762405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-13070985604248323682009-06-03T15:22:25.591-04:002009-06-03T15:22:25.591-04:00Like the sentiment ATL.Like the sentiment ATL.Eagle in Brightonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387603168328339403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-83645655947631222232009-06-03T14:50:07.821-04:002009-06-03T14:50:07.821-04:00i love it atl.i love it atl.blockpartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586091271357112989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-19148831807638279812009-06-03T14:30:59.316-04:002009-06-03T14:30:59.316-04:00I think there are two ways a team can do when faci...I think there are two ways a team can do when facing an extreme amount of adversity. They either pack it in, or band together and overacheive. My guess is that because of the kind of guys that we recruit, they will do the later. Whether that translates into wins is something that remains to be seen.morrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588147216432968173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-9042616841039460352009-06-03T14:19:10.021-04:002009-06-03T14:19:10.021-04:00This is the first I heard that James McCluskey als...This is the first I heard that James McCluskey also had an achilles injury - is that accurate reporting by the Herald?<br /><br />Let's go BC - we can do it.Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-63272010539215320962009-06-03T14:01:54.376-04:002009-06-03T14:01:54.376-04:00RIGHT ON!RIGHT ON!conlonchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12199055648750423099noreply@blogger.com
